Religion of the Undead
October 9, 2013 at 8:50 pm
Just curious, but does any other religion besides Christianity have a ritual that symbolizes eating of flesh (zombies) and drinking blood (vampires)?
On a side note, how can one reconcile the drinking of blood with the admonition given in Acts 15:20 to abstain from blood?

Well, obviously it's OK to symbolically devour Jesus.
P.S. Zombies eat brains. Ghouls eat flesh.

I'm glad when I was religious I was Catholic and just drank wine and pretended it was really blood.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Some Nigerian tribes believe that by eating another human you gain that persons traits.
Dont know how much this is religiously influenced.
