Allegory for Jesus
It is not stealing if it is given to you, it is a mundane object that is given religious value arbitrarily and en masse, and saying "it's just a damned cracker" is a method of expressing how incapable these people are at keeping things in perspective (hence, death threats).
Also, a hate crime has to be a crime first. Free speech has to be threatening in order to qualify as criminal. Guess who does and does not qualify...

WoW? Really?
Most Catholics don't actually believe in transubstantiation anymore, dear.

Then if you drink beer and eat bacon I don't care about any death threats you may get from muslims. I hope you kill each other off, but if your crossfire comes near me I'll kill you both.

Call 1-800-PASTORB – The ‘B’ is for butthead!
Neither that kid nor PZ Myers did anything legally actionable. Death threats, on the other hand, are quite illegal – whether you, an apologist for that acquisitive pedophile machine you call a church, “care” about those threats or not.

You DO know he committed a crime right?
No it isnt. They GAVE him the cracker.
Also, saying "it's just a damned cracker" shows lack of understanding of Catholicism, meaning I don't care about any death threats you may get.
Whatever happened to forgiveness and love thy neighbor?

Transubstantiation is a bizarre concept that has no place in a society that has invented that scientific fields of physics and chemistry.
Yes, their belief IS stupid, ignorant and primitive.

Something given is not stolen. Laughing at a quaint bit of religious folly is not a hate crime.
...meaning I don't care about any death threats you may get.
You support hate crimes, yes?
[edit]
You know the old tree-falls-in-the-forest line...
If a priestling consecrates the wafer and nobody's there, does it really transubstantiate?

Mhmm. Since no one was hurt or threatened, it doesn't count as a hate crime. I could stand on a soap box and shriek at the top of my lungs that I hate Catholics with all my sad little heart and it wouldn't be a hate crime. Now, if I sprayed painted that on the side of a church or attacked a priest, that would be a hate crime. The "theif" stood on the soap box. You need to get over it.

The original WoW thread has been deleted, but I'll bet you Pastorb was a level 70 Hunter.
You can always tell a Hunter.

It's a wafer that tastes like cardboard.
Here, take a box of em'. It's a church. It's suppose to be giving food away. Although after you taste those wafers you might wish you had held out till fish & chips Fridays.

"You DO know he committed a crime right?"
Which one was that again?
"Stealing something of religious value is dick like."
It's not stealing if someone gives you the fucking thing.
"Also, saying "it's just a damned cracker" shows lack of understanding of Catholicism, meaning I don't care about any death threats you may get."
Pointing out that--despite all the Latin in the world being muttered over it--that it's still just a cracker is the rational thing to do. I also find it extremely entertaining to have grown adults argue with me and tell me that it's actually "Gawd" now.
"And by the way, that's a hate crime. Crime motivated by hate. Hello, prison, good bye, useless cushy job!"
Not quite. I see you're not exactly a Harvard Law graduate, are ya?

The stupid thing probably came out of a package of melba toast from the Price Chopper. I think the church will survive.

Not unless the cracker came with an EULA printed on the back, he didn't!

Why the hell didn't the "criminal" steal the wine? That's a lot better than some crappy Jesus flesh crackers.

If it's a crime, won't God punish him?
