Religion is more than just the book. Catholics literally believe that the wine at mass is literally Jesus’ blood. This is a joke about them. Not about the book that their specific flavor of whatever is based on.
No where does anyone ever say Jesus’a blood has alcohol in it, except this comic which doesn’t follow any religion. This is a misconstrued line of thinking that only you and OP seem to be stuck on.
Many catholic churches will use whatever liquid is available, it does not, and never had to be wine.
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.

The literally believe the blessing of the Eucharist turns the wine into the blood of their nailed god.
Not that the blood of Christ turns into wine.
Hope this helps.
Nailed God, yeah, I’m stealing this
And then that wine is like 25 proof. ergo, his blood is 25 proof.
No catholic is taught this line of thinking.
It’s the logical conclusion. If Jesus’ blood has alcohol in it, then it’s alcoholic.

I’m not sure what you’re saying. No matter what liquid the church uses, transubstantiation turns it into jesus’s blood. Right?
When I have had jesus’s blood, it had alcohol in it.
So anytime the church does transubstantiation, regardless of liquid it started with, it ends up alcoholic.
A sample size of 1 is no study at all for your hypothesis.
For instance, any time I had jesus’s blood when I was a catholic, it was always a nice grape flavor.
The wine turns into Jesus’s blood when the priest blesses it.
This comic is the complete opposite of that.
I can’t believe I’m arguing this…

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?
You don’t. It’s religion.
Is your faith so weak that you need proof, Thomas?
Ah. The ol’ “don’t ask because we have no answers” answer.
So I believe that transubstantiation only works in the middle east, and we just haven’t realized.
Look, I’m not Catholic or any kind of Christian, but…
Catholics do not believe that Jesus’ blood turns into wine.
So… acting like they do… is just trolling, basically.
Its not a joke, because it doesn’t stem from a thing that someone actually believes.
It is simply asserting that someone believes a thing they do not… which is trolling.
There are a vast plethora of ludicrous things that varying kinds of Christians believe are literally true, that you could make an actual joke out of.

That is the opposite of this though, like all the other comments are trying to explain.
Eucharist = wine and bread turning into Christ’s blood and flesh
Comic = Christ’s blood turning into wine
How are so many people getting that backwards? Are you all trolling?
You’ll get no disagreement from me
