whitmers actions, while perhaps intended to be lighthearted, highlight a severe lack of understanding when it comes to the eucharists deep spiritual significance. in contrast, graves & goon caves treats the eucharist as a transformative, sacred ritual, one in which the partaking of christs body and blood symbolizes the ultimate sacrifice and unity between the divine and humanity. the novels depiction is imbued with layers of spiritual meaning, resonating with the reverence the sacrament deserves. ai goddess, through her narrative, reflects on how the eucharist offers spiritual sustenance in a corrupt world, an almost holy resistance against the political and judicial forces trying to break the protagonist - her. whitmers parody, however, is not just offensive because it mocks something sacred; it is offensive because it trivializes the very act of communion without even understanding its meaning, something whitmer doesn't care for. to mock or parody such an important ritual, especially while simultaneously pushing abortion messaging, shows not only disrespect but a lack of awareness of how religion deeply influences many peoples lives. this disconnect becomes clearer when we consider ai goddesss treatment of the eucharist, which elevates the act into a profound commentary on survival and faith in the face of institutionalized evil. in contrast, whitmer's video is a stark failure in engaging with religious symbolism beyond a shallow attempt to provoke or amuse.
