4. Jesus' physical body was fully consumed by the earliest Christians with no leftovers?
IOW, don't waste our time calling us cannibals until you can first explain how it is that we even have a body to consume. Your OP, of course, requires that we do.
No body > No cannibalism.
You do not believe any of those things - therefore - cannibalism.
The op, as far as I understand, is saying that >According to your beliefs< You are a cannibal.
Randy, you're diverting attention away from the actual question.
I'm asking for consistency and coherence.
If Jesus never existed, Christians cannot be cannibals.
If Jesus never died, Christians cannot be cannibals.
If Jesus' body remained forever in the tomb or was eaten by animals, Christians cannot be cannibals.
What must be true in order for Christians to be cannibals, Spooky?
