I sometimes go to church with my RPS and her grandmother. I haven't taken communion since I was a teenager and now refuse to as an adult, for lots of reasons including the 'willingly partake of human flesh' bit.

When she offers up the 'You are always welcome to take communion, I know you were confirmed as a teen' I'm always fighting back a lecture on the pagan origins of ritualistic cannibalism in general and 'god eating' in specific.

The struggles of the former anthropology major and lifelong apostate.
