When I was a little girl, my village grandmother would take home some of the Eucharist Bread for me (it's just bread in the version of Christianity we have in Bulgaria, no special wafer or whatever). She took it with the priest's permission, and none of the local Christians thought she was doing something wrong.
In my case it was home-made bread made by the village's best baker, and it tasted real good. And nobody believed it was ACTUALLY the body of Christ (the mere though of THAT makes me nauseous, I admit). And I wasn't even a Christian then because it was still the Communist Era, and I was taught at school to be an atheist, and a very arrogant one at that. Yet those Christians didn't think it a sacrilege to share their Eucharist bread with me. Well, there was something called humility which was supposed to be a Christian virtue, and there was something like "Thou shalt not kill", so sending dead threats doesn't sound very Christian to me.
All right, he returned their consecrated wafer, which they believe to actually be a part of Christ's body, so what is the whole fuss about now?
"Holding Jesus hostage"? LOL!
