is Christianity a cannibalistic religion? * 1
    #17520947 -

I'm not asking if Christianity "cannibalized" other religions by "borrowing" from them. I'm asking if Christianity is literally the modern-day descendant of a man-eating cult. I'm not just talking about the eucharist, I'm talking about the entire religion. Christians claim to follow Jesus, yet the public presence of Christianity is guaranteed only by the explicit and ritualized abrogation of Jesus's teaching (public prayer, swearing oaths on the Bible, there are many other examples). Christians fetishize the gruesome murder of their savior, beholding it with joy and adoration. Jesus died for your sins, so you don't have to. The religion wouldn't exist without the Passion. He was a human sacrifice. I begin to wonder if a "good Christian" isn't somebody who would personally kill Jesus every day if they had to.

I've always wondered the same thing since I was a kid."Partake upon mine blood and flesh." creepy much? even if it is a reference to a non-cannibalistic sacrament.

I can see the eucharist being a "you had to be there at the time" sort of deal, but I just can't get past the human sacrifice thing. When I was a kid, I was just grossed-out by their apparent obsession with blood and pain.

,,,LOL . This is the real meaning of the 'eating the godman'. The Christians ripped this motif off from paganism, and what is originally meant is the eating of the sacred vegetation--beit a mushroom, plant etc. Though with the mushroom there was much more mystery surrounding it, and its shape was reminiscent of a phallus and hence 'god-plant'.

ALSO ancients didn't have microscopic technology and therebefore didn't know about mushroom spores, and believed that they magically appeared after theuinderstorms.

So do you see now? The eating of the sacred god plant was the real meaning about 'eat me'. Because eating it would open the eyes of the eater and make them feel themselves god-like.

But of course when this understanding is hidden and the myth becomes literalized, it is easy for people to think they meant eating an actual human saviour.

My first encounter with Christians was when some door-to-door folks gave me the scare-down about the blood of Christ when I was four. These guys truly enjoy thinking and talking about blood being spilled. My parents are not really hippies but they did raise me agnostic and they didn't take too kindly to the whole blood thing. :lol:

I hate Christians like that,I had a gf once who was a baptist as a kid and she asked them why they would want to drink the blood of Christ and they told her to be saved.She told them blood was icky,they yelled at her for 30 minutes about how she has to drink the blood of Christ to be saved and be one with Jesus and feast apon the flesh of Christ,then told her she was going to burn in hell for asking such heretic questions. xD note they where telling this to an 8 year old,that's extremely Christian if you ask me.

The reality that one could be 'infused' with a certain energy or be living a certain energy signature...  Say ECSTASY OR EUPHORIA...  Then the ritual of eating and drinking blood... It works if you pretend you are imbibing the God-man and his consciousness.  Like institutionalized vampirism.  You take on a quality of energy.  And, it dwells within you and is alive.

Also, I suggest that he is in fact a literal sacrament, Jesus, found in nature.  A fungus.  The man is the embodiment of the quality produced by ingestion of 'himself' which he found in the Sacred Fungus.  I am.  That.  Thou art that.  He would like to feed it to you so that you too can experience LIFE.  Apparently.  Awakening.  Realization.



Pretend that you are eating your boss or anyone and you will see that you can take on other's quality of energy.  Not to say this is what was going on.  But it could have been part of it.  Just using the imagination in a certain state of mind.

If you eat psychedelics then nibble on people with your imagination you can feed on other's quality of energy.  So if you mix the two together and reverse the idea of transubstantiation...  IMO, they were feeding off of a source (the sun/son) that had a source (the fungus, perhaps Kundalini) that was eaten then it was okay to eat the messenger too because he wouldn't run out.  And he was sharing.  Inhabiting people with his consciousness.  Followers.

I read about Christianity being linked to Amanita Muscaria consumption.That's why the Christ figure is always shown in red and white clothing.

Same here.Alot of churches belive you  can't even come to their church unless you've been to a sacrament and been Baptist ed I think that's kinda stupid in my opinion.Seems rather cultish,I'm almost 100% the Mormons and the Jehovah's witnesses developed out of some underground cult.

I think I got this from a Terence lecture, about some scholar working on the Dead Sea Scrolls translation, who concluded that basically early Christians were growing and partaking of some serious mushrooms in those caves, and to mislead the Romans (and others) and keep the secret, they made up this cover story about your nice neighborhood carpenter hippie.

Basically most of it was code talk for what in reality was mushrooms-based rituals and ceremonies, that they wanted to keep a secret, only for initiated members.

It's the theory that makes most sense to me at least, and also explains why it delivers so little to the modern believer.
Only the placebo is left, nothing of the original sacrament, the real :mushroom2:body of Christ:mushroom2:

I don't think cannibalistic is the right term for what you're describing. The fetishizing of Jesus' crucifixion seems more like a sadistic behavior than a cannibalistic one.

the TITLE of this thread is ironical also, because I think that Christianity is by nature cannibalistic in that it has gone into other peoples lands and eaten their old traditions up and replaced them with their shit.

I think it is important to point out major difference between the esoteric myth (although only for the intiated of the early christians --and maybe even still existing now) of the Christian myth of eating the sacred god plant, and the earlier and far more ancient Goddess meaning about it.

For the Christians the phallic-looking mushroom represented their idea of a phallic creator god in the sky, and it was hios semen/spittle who brought about the mushrooms magically. So eating them would make the eater feel at one with this patriarchal concept of god who is APART from 'his creation', nature. How many times do you hear christians tell pagans off because they 'worship creation and not the creator'? This admonition exposes their dualistic division netween 'God' and 'nature'.

HOWEVER with Goddess mythology, nature is the body of the Goddess, hence even if it were not known how the mushrooms came to be they were understood to be her gifts, just as all vegetation, water, etc etc. In this mythical context nature is sacrred, not 'fallen'. Hence the eater of these magical plants were 'Celebrants'. because they were ecstatically celebrating sacred nature which included sexuality and all forms of sensuality which the Christians, who carried on the patriarchal suppression of this mythology and religious ritual, demonized calling sexual and sensual pleasure sin.

I agree, how this religion has gained such worldwide acceptance I will never comprehend.

I recently allowed my 5yr old daughter to attend a Christian church, it was a request by her grandmother. Its intriguing to hear her thoughts on the experience, even a 5yr old can slice through the curtain of bullshit.
One if they best things she told me that made me laugh was: "they gave me a cookie and said to eat it because it is the body of god,  but it was actually just a cookie so I ate it"
Belief in Christianity seems to be trained into children, they don't choose it.


Side note;
Zzripz actually reminds me of T.McKenna.. can you write a book or give some lectures? I want to hear more.
Your vocabulary is poetic and concise all at once.
