A DNA analysis proves that Holy Communion is a “fraud,” according to a hedonistic religious sect that believes humans were created by extraterrestrials about 25,000 years ago.

The Association of Raelian Scientists published a study on October 25 they say refutes the Catholic claim of transubstantiation, in which bread and wine and actually become the physical body and blood of Jesus Christ.

The Raelian movement was founded in the 1970s by former French auto racing journalist Claude Vorilhon, who changed his name to Rael after a “dramatic encounter” with extraterrestrial human beings. Raelians believe these humans from another planet — not a divine being — created all forms of life on Earth.

“Yet there’s a very important difference between most atheists and the Raelians: We’re still Creationists! The Raelian Movement is an atheistic religion that is preparing humanity to welcome back its true creators, the Elohim, without fear or guilt.”

Well, I'll be damned. Sure enough, the Raelians have no belief in a god.

1. Kind of weird. One group with a strange belief

of creation investigating another church's belief.
Pot calling the kettle something.

4. Too deep for me

Maybe a handful of atheists know what this is about and believe it to be something new and real. On the other hand, EVERY Catholic believes in transubstantiation, or they aren't Catholics.

6. This group is right up there with Heaven's Gate.

And neither have a clue about the doctrine of transubstantiation.

7. The Doctrine is out

Are you kidding me? I compare the doctrine of transubstantiation with the doctrine of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. In other words, don't waste my time trying to explain either one.

8. Well, if you think dancing angels is a doctrine, I wouldn't even attempt it.

5. "2-4-6-8 TIME TO TRANSUBSTANTIATE"

loved that Tom Lehrer song

13. One of my most favorite Tom Lehrer songs ever.

First you get down on your knees!

9. I never heard a Catholic claim consecrated communion wafers contain the DNA of Jesus of Nazareth

[Goblinmonger]

10. I know a GREAT deal of catholics, lay and clergy,

that claim the bread and wine literally and actually become the body and blood of Christ. That they don't use the term DNA doesn't really change the claim, does it?

[struggle4progress]

11. The thread is about a Raelian remark:

“Nobody can contest a simple DNA test like that conducted by our scientists”

12. Since you were once a "seminarian"

you should understand Aquinas's distinction between accident and substance, no?

[Goblinmonger]

16. Love your attempts to diminish my experiences with quotation marks.

We should probably credit this to Aristotle with some modification by Aquinas.

And, yes, I am familiar.

You need a period at the end of your subject line.
"you" in the body of the post should be capitalized.

14. Why in the world have they wasted the time, energy and money on this?

Do they think proving that will make their religion more plausible?
