What about the wine? Are they drinking more wine now? Because I'm thinking it takes a little more booze to turn off our bullshit detectors today than it did 2000 years ago.
I chalk it up to a thousand years of shortening attention spans. At first "Look! Jesus and his disciples!" was enough, now it's "Jesus and them! Ooh, what IS that they're eating? I wonder do they find it tasty? Who's a vegan, I wonder?"
There's a very simple explanation for this phenomenon.
Western, and particularly American Christians, have gotten so fat in the last 1,000 years that a regular-sized Jeebuz wouldn't be able to curb their appetite, transubstantiation-wise. So, they've had to upsize the Last Supper in order to allow Jeebuz to do some serious pre-crucifixion carb-loading, in essence bulking him up in order to ensure sufficient "blood and body of" to meet the needs of the Appleby's all-you-can-eat after Sunday service crowd.
Oh, wait, you mean the "Christian" version.
Never mind.
