.....or are they just plain stupid?

Christians are not vampires or/and cannibals this is what is means when we (Christians) take Communion or The Lord's Supper or the Eucharist , it is the rite that Christians perform in fulfillment of Jesus' instruction, recorded in the New Testament, to do in memory of him what he did at his Last Supper. Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying "This is my body," and then he took the wine, saying "This is my blood." Christians generally recognize a special presence of Christ in this rite, though they differ about exactly how, where, and when Christ is present. The word "Eucharist" is also applied to the bread and wine consecrated in the course of the rite.

actually. i'm Jewish, inspite of each and every thing, and eating blood is precisely forbidden for us. So is appealing in a human sacrifice in any appreciate - this is the two homicide and idolatry, 2 of the three worst sins for us. Which makes it very unusual whilst Christians insist that their blood ritual have been given here from Judaism. Or that their very final Supper has some component to do with Pesach. the quite components for Christianity's theology and ritual are the salvation cults regularly occurring interior the direction of the Hellenic sphere on the time. the 1st of those substitute into the Osirian mysteries wherein a priest of Osiris took on the function of Osiris' son Horus (the shepherd) to lead devotees via capacity of rites wherein they'd share in Osiris' everlasting lifestyles/defeat of dying via capacity of the intake of the ineffective god's physique and blood contained interior the form of baked wheat tarts and ale. This drew on an historic thought that it grew to become top right into a wager to deal with attributes of an animal, person or deity via capacity of eating its physique. I do discover it unusual that Christianity has preserved quite some this sort of thinking.

The ones that believe in 'transubstantiation' can be considered 'real' cannibals and vampires via INTENT... but they are ineffectual, because transubstantiation is, of course, bullshit. The rest... the ones that DON'T believe in transubstantiation are merely SYMBOLIC cannibals and vampires.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
(1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
Here, Jesus is talking about his sacrifice. He says "this..is the new covenant in my blood" which means that He's making a new promise with us. This is the promise of the Holy Spirit, meaning that God will always be with us, no matter what. The blood represents His blood shed on the cross: his ultimate sacrifice. He went through all that suffering, all that pain, all that hurt, to show how much He loves us. So, he says to always be "in remembrance of me." Remember his sacrifice and his great love. Offer yourselves in praise and thanksgiving for Him in love. No love is greater than God's. You can curse and deny the existence of God all you want, but you see, God loves you nevertheless. That's how perfect God is. That's how perfect His sacrifice was.

Give me a break. Communion is just a sympathetic magick ritual (yes Christians, it actually is ancient magick) taken from the pagans long ago. Sympathetic magick is "like attracts like"---sort of when you use symbols for things (i.e. a candle or clay figure represents a person, an herb represents a feeling such as love, etc.).
Most of the ancient religions have some sort of "communion" ritual involving bread and wine, or cakes and ale, or bread and beer, etc.

the first instance of communion goes back to when Melchizedek (Shem) brought bread and wine out to Abraham.
It's a symbolic gesture but has ceremonial significance.

Its nither of those monsrosities, christians eat bread blessed, and the bread is sead to be jesus because he gave himself to us and the host is given to us. to drink his blood is to drink the wine. at jesus' death water and blood cam out of jesus, yet he was dehidrated. the water and wine are gifts from god.

Christians are not vampires, cannibals, or stupid. Christian are followers of Jesus Christ. I can't believe you never knew what Christians are. Where you've been?

It's symbolic! The blood is symbolic to purity which Jesus is! The flesh is the body of Christ. Bread is the symbol of the body of Christ. Read about the last supper in the bible and you will understand what this means. Really you are ignorant to what a Christian is. Don't ask ingnorant questions when you can plainly understand this if you read the bible. It makes you sound so unintelligent!

Scully and I have investigated reports of vampires and cannibals, and in every instance the parties involved were indeed Christians.
