It means that through Christs Body and Blood, given up for you, by your acceptance and belief in it, that you will be saved.
But I think you already know this, since its religion 101. Did ya just figure ya had a great opportunity to call Christians cannibals?
Do ya feel like you got over?

Only Catholocism holds to that particular belief. The rest of Christianity sees it as a symbolic analogy, i.e., you are remembering Christ's sacrifice every time you eat the bread and drink the cup.

The bread and wine blessings originated in Judaism. Jews continue to use both before meals, thanking God for giving us wine from the vine (thinking of all the processes necessary to produce the wine) and thanking God for giving us bread from the earth (thinking of all the processes required to create the bread).
Christianity claims to be a religion of peace, but they seem to focus on death and dying rather than living the precious life God has given us.

the ritual as you callit is based in pure symbolism. the wine represents the blood that Jesus shed. it is only by Jesus blood that we are washed clean of sin. the bread represents Christ's body which was broken for us. By physically dying and coming back to life three days later, Christ defeated death. no one else can meke that claim. by defeating death, he made it so that we do not have to be afraid of it.

Catholics teach the the bread is His body and the wine is His blood, we Christians were taught to do this in remembrance of Him. Drink the grape juice and eat the bread, because He gave His body and shed His blood for us. It isn't actually His body and blood, how gross.

I have often wondered about this ritual. It does seem strange to me for people to want to eat the flesh and drink the blood of their supposed savior. This is a great question and I will be very interested to see how "it is justified"

That's why the Jews walked away in John 6.

I believe for most Christians this is one of those symbolic things, and it's still just eating bread and water or wine.

yeah, well, that's a good one. But as you're actually not eating human flesh, nor drinking human blood, it's something like cannibalistic uncertainty
