I ate 'host' every morning at Mass in parochial grade school. The clergy called it 'the breakfast of God's champions'. However, we got no nectar of the god's. That was only for the priest and those of drinking age. So we kids only got half a Jesus.

so he won't be back as promised

If one takes what Jesus said literally... his second coming already happened. Matt 23:36 "ALL THESE THINGS SHALL COME UPON ~THIS~ GENERATION'. He wasn't talking about the future, but the generation he was currently in. Matt 24:34 "Truly I say to you, THIS GENERATION will not pass away until ALL THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE." Rev. 22:10 - "And he [supposedly Jesus] saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND". Verse 12, he says "And, behold, I come QUICKLY." He repeats in verse 20 - "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come QUICKLY." Does 'at hand' and 'quickly' mean thousands of years later? No. His followers expected everything to be fulfilled in THEIR life time because Jesus said so.

In Matt 24:26, Jesus specifically warns "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it." Right! Don't believe it!
