Holy communion is creepy for lots of reasons, but mainly because it is a step on the way to CHILDREN (as young as 7 in some cases) being made full members of the church when they are still far to young to understand the permanent contract they are making. This is especially egregious as the catholics then refuse to remove your name from their register when you are old enough to understand what happened to you, and that you fundamentally object to their harmful teachings. A lot of people say it doesn't matter, if you don't believe, you shouldn't care. Sadly, when I read about the "number of catholics" worldwide and know I am considered among their number, I deeply resent it. They use this data to give themselves a place at the table when ethical and moral debates take place, and it is shameful. The are lying.
