Great ex...Here's another comment from a reader:<br />Great explanation of the message behind communion. I also appreciated you separating "the last supper" from Passover. Most Christians don't understand the context of Habora (sp.) And the concept that Jesus and his disciples were just one of many small groups of men who gathered together around a Rabbi to study the scriptures and discuss their meaning. So many Christians ignore the culture from which Jesus came. The priest at my church believes strongly that you must understand the Jesus's Jewish roots to understand the radical nature of Christianity. Thanks for this one.

I think so many have forgotten that "the Sabbath, the sacraments, the church" were made for people and not the other way around. Jesus himself would have baked and decorated a cake for the wedding of a gay couple and changed water into wine when they ran out. The reason for refusal, claiming to be christian, is more than contradictory ... given all the examples you quoted in your piece. <br />"Vital religion is like good music. It needs no defense, only rendition. A wrangling controversy in defense of religion is as though the orchestra would beat the folks over the head with their violins to prove that music is beautiful." --Harry Emerson Fosdick <br />I think the SUPREMES should stick to music and stop messing with law.
