Well, P. Z. Myers has ended his crackerfest — although, one assumes, the overly worked-up catholics who’ve been sending him nasty un-christian sounding messages will continue on.
I won’t spoil the plot for you by telling you exactly what he did with his Jesus-flavoured cracker. You really need to read his post. Indeed, you should read it in full as there’s some very eye-opening history laid out there showing the vicious nature of the catholic church over the years in regards to the eucharist. Especially against Jews.
Have a read. Totally worth it.

UPDATE: Oh, my! What a hoot! My favourite part is the true believers who, unable to wrap their head around the idea that someone else does not share their particular brand of hysteria, are hypothesizing that the image is faked! The idea that someone could actually not be in fear of their god is so completely unfathomable and alien to them that they then (much like the formation of religion itself) come up with a rationalization to explain this cognitive dissonance — they think the picture is photoshopped! The notion that photoshopping the picture would be more than simply spearing a wafer just doesn’t seem to concern them. They can conceive of a wafer being Jesus but can’t grasp the concept of Occam’s Razor?
