Someone took jesus hostage..

Lol, that's such a dumb story.
 
The story gets better. The guy received multiple death threats over it. Blogger PZ Myers did a post about it called It's a Frackin' Cracker! and ripped into the superstitions involved and asked someone to send him a consecrated wafer:

PZ Myers said:
I find this all utterly unbelievable. It's like Dark Age superstition and malice, all thriving with the endorsement of secular institutions here in 21st century America. It is a culture of deluded lunatics calling the shots and making human beings dance to their mythical bunkum.

So, what to do. I have an idea. Can anyone out there score me some consecrated communion wafers? There's no way I can personally get them — my local churches have stakes prepared for me, I'm sure — but if any of you would be willing to do what it takes to get me some, or even one, and mail it to me, I'll show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare. I won't be tempted to hold it hostage (no, not even if I have a choice between returning the Eucharist and watching Bill Donohue kick the pope in the balls, which would apparently be a more humane act than desecrating a goddamned cracker), but will instead treat it with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse, all photographed and presented here on the web. I shall do so joyfully and with laughter in my heart. If you can smuggle some out from under the armed guards and grim nuns hovering over your local communion ceremony, just write to me and I'll send you my home address.

So Bill Donohue, the odious gasbag leader of The Catholic League, is going on a rampage against Myers.

It's been very entertaining to watch.
 
Slow news week.
