Apparently, convincing pretty smart people of the truth of transubstantiation isn't as hard as you think.
Neither was convincing white Europeans that dark people made good farm equipment.

Neither was convincing 1940's Germans that Jews made good charcoal briquettes.

Hell: some of the smartest people figured out the most efficient ways to do some of the most immoral things.

Moral of the story? Otherwise smart people can buy a bad idea, and that still doesn't make it valid.

Humanity is a gullible animal.

atheist (n): one who remains unconvinced.
