Ha ha. The resurrectionist's answer is about recycling and his name is resurrectionist. That's funny.

Communion is not usually regarded as cannibalism. Catholics consider the bread and wine as Jesus' actual body, but most denominations that I know of take it less literally. I don't know of any modern day religions that actively practice cannibalism, but I'm pretty sure it was done in the Aztec and Mayan cultures.
And hey, how about you find a different medium for mocking Christianity, instead of a poorly disguised question, eh?

LOL. ignorance is bliss isn't it. And you are blissfully delighted Im sure. Actually, it is a sin to drink the blood of an animal or human ( I guess you didnt know that). Here, I'll show you:
Leviticus 17:10-12: If any man of the house of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn among them eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life. Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.
So, was jesus asking them to literally eat His flesh and drink His blood? Of course not. It is metaphorical for the brokenness of His body and the spilling of His blood. When we eat A PIECE OF BREAD and drink a cup of JUICE, we are not eating human flesh and drinking human blood, and neither did Jesus and the aposltes, and neither has any christian, for that matter.
Unfortunately, catholics believe in the eucharist. They believe that the bread actually becomes a little piece of Jesus' flesh and the wine literally becomes the blood of Jesus. THIS IS cannabalistic, and not at all adherent to the teaching of Christ, or the doctrine of christians.

You disgust me. Try learning something! I don't honestly think that you believe what you are asking, you're just asking it to be a real jerk! We don't eat flesh or drink blood. We have the eucharist and the wine, which through the power of the HOly spirit are transsubstanted (the essanse) into the blood and body of Christ. The look, taste, and molecular level of the wafer and wine is the same, but it feeds our soul more then our stomache.

The word "Eucharist" comes from the Greek noun εὐχαριστία (transliterated, "eucharistia"), meaning thanksgiving.[2]

What christian do you know that literally drank blood and ate flesh? The things of God are unknown to you.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Joh 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

Cannibalism, either actual or ritualistic appears in escentialy every culture on earth. Primitive europeans used to cremate there dead and drink the ashes mixed with water. Native american rutinely cunsumed there enamys after killing them in battle. Many culture in south america still eat parts of there dead as a way to keep the dead with the,. Aztecs made human sacrifices and the bodies were sold at temple markets as "long pig". And lets not even get into muslims, ugh.

You're referring to Catholics. They believe the host and wine are LITERALLY transformed into flesh and blood during communion. Not all Christians believe that.
Ew.

I assume that you are speaking of communion. Christians don't consider this Christ's body. We do it in rememberance of what Jesus did for us, but we do not consider it the actual body and blood. You need to reform you question. I know Catholics and Lutherans do that. My husband and I went to Lutheran church on our honeymoon because it was the only church around where we were at. We did not participate in communion that day for the purpose of what they believed it to be.
