cannibalism and you (christianity)
August 27, 2015 at 1:28 pm
Cannibalism is fine in the confines of eating the bread and drinking the blood of your savior.
..........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.

Is it really metaphorical for those who believe in transubstantiation? I think not.

It's absolutely disgusting to pretend to eat human flesh. Either do it properly or not at all.

I don't know if this is applicable to Christers, but I find a satisfaction I get from nothing else in knowing elements I have assimilated from Doyle are as yet still percolating in me, even though diluted by time they may be now, all these years later.
It's a comfort to experience to this day a sharing of ourselves from so long ago.
The big problem with the Christer version of it is how transubstantiation is 100% more unreal compared to Doyle's semen.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I haven't had human flesh before, but I don't think that it tastes like bread and wine.
Transubstantiation = Fail!
NVM, some evidence for transubstantiation.

I'm hungry now.
Anyways, I've somewhere read this explanation, maybe even here: in Aristotelian philosophy, objects have their accidental properties, but also essential ones. So a chair (it's always a chair) has accidental properties such as color, material and so on - but it also has an essential chairness property which makes it a chair and which does not change if you change one of its other aspects. Now, transsubstantiation does obviously not change the accidental properties of the cracker such that it would look like a holy t-bone steak, nor with the wine. But it changes the essential nature of the cracker and the wine while leaving its unimportant accidental features unchanged. So: it has really become a piece of J-meat, but it doesn't look it to the naive observer who only sees the accidental features with their senses. The essential features can be glimpsed by faithy faith alone I suppose.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
