I can't believe I'm arguing this..

In the comic, Jesus isn't turning his blood into wine. He's simply tapping the vein.

Jesus' blood is naturally alcoholic. We know this because the transubstantiation turns the wine at mass into Jesus' blood, and THAT blood is alcoholic. The fact that the wine was originally alcoholic is completely unrelated. The priests could transubstantiate water into Jesus' blood, and it'd still be alcoholic.

That's assuming you actually believe in transubstantiation.

There are people who celebrate Eucharist with grape juice and it doesn't turn alcoholic. It's not that transubstantiation makes it alcoholic.

So you're saying that Jesus blood is different based on who is doing it??

Sounds like someone is doing it wrong

It's the blessing that matters, not the contents of the cup. In transubstantiation the outward characteristics don't change.

Then how do you know it worked?
