I always avoided taking communion (Eucharist) because, even at the
age of 7, I saw it as a kind of symbolic cannabalism and vampirism
that I just didn't want to be a part of. I could see no value in
pretending to eat a God. And, to this day, I still see no value in
it. Although I, too, was baptised as a baby, I don't hold a grudge, I
just don't recognise that it did anything other than act as an excuse
for my parents to have a party. ;-)
