I strongly object to these fake cannibals who are called "Christians" bringing disrepute upon honest and real cannibals. There are many reasons to eat people, and not just pretend, the way those ridiculous Christians pretend to be cannibals. Honest cannibalism should not be dragged through the mud just because these stupid and crazy Christians play games and pretend to be cannibals.

..........WHY ON EARTH DO YOU THINK EATING THE FLESH.. *ahem* flesh and drinking the blood of your savior is a good idea.
I mean we can know cannibalism is wrong even metaphorical cannibalism should be frowned upon as well.
The body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus are substantially present in the Eucharist, but the accidents of bread and wine remain.

I agree. Real cannibals have several good qualities to bring to the table (as it were), as Montaigne reminds us in "On Cannibalism".

That article basically splits hairs to define around cannibalism as a violent act.
Got anything better? (emphasis is mine)

The essay at the link is very funny. It quotes a dictionary for what "cannibalism" is and then ignores the definition and pretends "cannibalism" means something else in order to be able to claim that Catholics do not engage in cannibalism. Of course, Catholics do not engage in cannibalism in the Eucharist, because the bread and wine are bread and wine and not magically something else, but if they did change as Catholic doctrine claims, then Catholics would be cannibals. It follows directly from the meaning of the term "cannibalism" that the essay quotes from a dictionary at the beginning of the article.
Most Protestants are less delusional and nonsensical about the Eucharist ceremony than the Catholics, as most Protestants recognize that they are only engaging in symbolic cannibalism rather than real cannibalism. Even that, though, is creepy.
I have much more respect for real, sincere cannibals than these pretenders.

How can Catholics (and Orthodox and Lutherans and some Anglicans...) be cannibals if:
1. Jesus never even existed? (Jesus Mythicists)
2. Jesus didn't actually die on the cross in the first place? (Swoon Theorists/Muslims)
3. Jesus' body decayed in his tomb (or was buried in a shallow grave, dug up and consumed by wild dogs) long ago? (Conspiracy Theorists)
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?
