Today's entry: Transubstantiation: The process by which a magical pedophile transforms gullibility into profit.
We're starting off with an easy one, the Catholic belief that a charlatan in a dress has the ability to transmute a cracker and cheap wine into the literal body and blood of Christ, but you can't actually tell he's done anything because... accidents? No, seriously, it's built right into the dogma that you won't be able to detect that he's done fuck all, you just have to accept that he's not batshit insane.
Y'know, Newton was a genius, and his work on the force of gravity has immortalized him for all time, but you don't hear much about his obsession with alchemy beyond reinforcing that the man had some issues to go with his brilliance. It's the same principle, really; lead is not gold, crackers are not Jesus, and Catholics are not rational.
