This is a brief post, as I don't have a whole lot to say about this essay other than I don't really agree with what it is saying.
The assertion that eating bread which symbolizes Christ's body is idolatry is probably true, but if you put almost anything religious under the microscope the same way this author does with communion, you'll probably arrive at the same conclusion.
Okay, so Christians wear crosses around their neck in order to display their faith. The crosses that they wear are not the actual cross that Jesus died on, and they certainly are not Jesus Himself, so how is that any different? What about the Jesus fish bumper sticker so frequently slapped on the back of cars, or best-selling Christian authors who put their attractive face on the cover of their novels to sell more copies?
Maybe I don't have a firm grasp on the whole idolatry thing, but communion seems petty compared to the aforementioned examples.
