How about the Transubstantiation?
Does the Host taste of meat?


You need a course in Aristotelian philosophy as filtered through Thomas
Aquinas. The essence is changed, the accidents remain the same.

What is a chair? Assuming you have a wooden Adirondack chair where is
the chair? Is it in the accidents? If you are cold and break the chair
up and build a fire, is it still a chair or firewood? For extra points,
after it burns what is it? Was there ever a chair? What was the original
essence of a wafer of unleavened bread?

Sorry, man. I live in the here and now. I sit on chairs; I don't
contemplate their essence.

That's the problem with atheists -- they're boring. Keep taking those
blue pills.
