    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.

        Look, I’m not Catholic or any kind of Christian, but…

        Catholics do not believe that Jesus’ blood turns into wine.

        So… acting like they do… is just trolling, basically.

        Its not a joke, because it doesn’t stem from a thing that someone actually believes.

        It is simply asserting that someone believes a thing they do not… which is trolling.

        There are a vast plethora of ludicrous things that varying kinds of Christians believe are literally true, that you could make an actual joke out of.
