    Yes but that’s backwards of what the comic is representing.

    As I said… I don’t think any kind of Christian believes that Jesus’ blood ever turns into wine.

    That doesn’t happen anywhere in the text.

    So… the joke is… based off of a thing that doesn’t happen?

    It would be like making a joke based off the idea that Moses can summon floods.

    He can’t. He’s never shown to be able to do that, he’s shown to be a water bender who can move water out of the way, but not generate it.

      Religion is more than just the book. Catholics literally believe that the wine at mass is literally Jesus’ blood. This is a joke about them. Not about the book that their specific flavor of whatever is based on.

        The literally believe the blessing of the Eucharist turns the wine into the blood of their nailed god.

        Not that the blood of Christ turns into wine.

        Hope this helps.

                No where does anyone ever say Jesus’a blood has alcohol in it, except this comic which doesn’t follow any religion. This is a misconstrued line of thinking that only you and OP seem to be stuck on.

                Many catholic churches will use whatever liquid is available, it does not, and never had to be wine.

                  I’m not sure what you’re saying. No matter what liquid the church uses, transubstantiation turns it into jesus’s blood. Right?

                  When I have had jesus’s blood, it had alcohol in it.

                  So anytime the church does transubstantiation, regardless of liquid it started with, it ends up alcoholic.
