Jesus said "this is my blood, take and drink". You have to think multi-dimensionally, going from one set of beliefs to another.

That is why I said aspects of Christianity, if seen as only in another religion, would be declared wrong. But when seen under the aspect of Christianity, suddenly it's ok. As for the substance view of God, it trivializes virtue. You don't realize the principalities and powers behind it though — Gregory
