You're right. I always thought Jesus was being Symbolic, though--I am guessing it was once again people's tendency to misinterpret things and go wild. ("What else did you say that could potentially fuck up this religion forever and ever, Jesus?" "I said, 'Eat of this bread? It is ... my ... favorite?") It always takes me a while to realize that people take these stories so very literally.
And what amazes me here is how calculated the mob-inflammation aspect was.
And you're absolutely right on one other item--PZ can really be a dick sometimes. ;)
