Is Christianity a secret vampire cult?
What do you mean why is what they think important? I've never seen Angela's ashes so t'm not sure what you mean there either. There is no problem. Just stating facts and having fun.
Oh. If you mean why does what the Catholic Church thinks matter, it matters only in that it is the beginnings of the Church, and all others are breakaway heretical cults.
But also, they are the original fundamentalists. They tend to have been literalists. But also they were/are fanatical about being "rational" about their theology. They do diligent research, and they tend to be honest to a fault. Their theology writers, I mean. You should visit their web site.
If these passages were to have been interpreted in any other way they would have done it. There were great debates about it and many heresies that came from them, which were squashed until the reform.
Did you know that when the bread and wine are blessed, and crumbs left over are buried as if they were a body? The real body of Jesus.
There a story the priests around here tell about a house keeper who had been on the job long. She accidentally vacuumed up crumbs that were left when a priest was in too much hurry to clean them up right away. The priest came back and was horrified. They couldn't see a way to be sure they would get everything if they just buried the bag, so they buried the entire vacuum cleaner. That's how serious they are about it.
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you" (John 6:53)
"Hoc corpus meus est."
Catholics are the ONLY Christians, dear. The rest are dirty heretical cults.
And if you have already done two impossible things to day, why not make it three and spend he evening at Millyways, the restaurant at the end of the universe?
Well if you stay at Millyways long enough you get to see that too.
But I hear the Burgers are out of this world at the The Big Bang Burger Bar. I'll have to pay it a visit.
Sure. According to Adams you just need to put a couple dollars in the bank now, go forward in time to the end of the universe, and by then you will have amassed enough money to pay the fair and the entrance fee.
We'll see you there in about an hour? Drinks on me.
Brenda, You made a point. I don't see any scriptures listed on this forum stating that Jesus cut a piece of his flesh for his disciples to eat, and poured them his blood from his flesh to drink. This forum was posted to ridicule christians. God bless you.
No. He said clearly you would live forever after you die if you eat him. Vampires die before they come back as immortals. Same thing.
I left the Catholic church when I was 6. But like I told someone else today, you should be very happy that I am an atheist. I would likely bring back the inquisition to root out all the heretics.
The idea that I am obsessed with Jesus is interesting but incorrect. I'm more interested in exposing the irrationality of Christianity in particular, but have I enjoy taking on religion in general.
It has become an interest and a hobby that stems from my own search over 50 years or so. I also love ancient history of all kinds.
Are you here perhaps because you have doubts? A well grounded Christian just doesn't hang around these places do they? Testing your faith perhaps?
I'm here for you. Ready to tell it like it is. I can arrange a series of them for you if you like. Are you up to it? Don't be surprised if your perspective changes, eh? lol...
I'm not worried. You seem to only eat Jesus I suspect that's why there was no body in the tomb. His apostles ate him.
cannibals only eat flesh. You drink blood.
Easy...i am not christian
Ok. Sorry. lol.... Didn't mean to insult you. Let me amend that to: cannibals only eat flesh. Christians drink blood. Better?

Come on Slarty. Yes. You must be right. The truth is out. It's why Christians can't leave the cult. They'd burn in the light. They can't digest real food. It's blood that sustains them. And, oh my gosh, the number of italian restaurants in America? Think of the garlic. A Christian couldn't go anywhere. Not to mention the mirrors. Everyone would immediately know they were Christian. The laws would have to change so everyone not christian could openly carry wooden stakes.
So many problems with changing the world. You should probably leave them in peace to drink the symbolic blood and eat the symbolic flesh. Because, really, think about the alternative. If you take it away they'll start stalking the night and preying on the rest of us.Obviously the title was for shock value.
But you should consider writing a story along those lines, it sounds like it would be fun.
I just feel that the similarity between ritualistic cannibalism, and the Eucharist ritual is too close to be ignored. Though most people are shocked and disgusted by ritual cannibalism they think eating Jesus flesh and drinking his blood is wonderful.
But they are doing nothing at all different from what cannibalistic tribes do/did. They are both taking in the other or the object of their desire. For tribes it is usually an attribute like long life, running fast, being a great statesmen, being a great warrior, etc.
Native tribes eat animals in the same way. Eat a bear and gain it's strength, etc.
For the Christians it is the promise of ever lasting life. They are eating their god to gain immortality.
But the twist is they also drink his blood for the same reasons, because to them it is life. Cannibals don't generally do that. It's a practice reserved for vampires, for the very same reason. lol....
I could go on about the ritualistic slaughter of Jesus, etc... but you get the point. The religion is barbaric, superstitious, and crazy.The assumptions of what others believe, or don't, amuse me here at times. I simply believe it is counter productive to develop the emotional need to bash others over ridiculous points.
Of course, when one does little more than offer and defend ridiculous beliefs, they obviously believe it counter productive to criticize and question them.
Patently untrue.
Oh. And my comment, about the emotional need to bash (in the previous post) goes for other people too. Not just that first post.
I think she was talking about me.
Oh, I'm a terrible influence. But I'm only sad right now. I was laughing about out this afternoon. I got an email from corporate, saying to send information about anything interesting going on in my life for their monthly newsletter. I rolled on the floor laughing at what they'd say if I told them. I'll find something to laugh at tomorrow.
It's life. Change is good as long as you're learning.
Your relatives are right, of course. But they are just as crazy and don't know it.
You might be interested in a few hubs I did if you are interested in historical influences on Christianity. I did three, but the ones you might be interested in are: A brief history of the NT and The rise and fall of Christianity. The picture of Sol/Apollo is where Jesus gets his halo.
The bread and wine thing is gross. But you can put it into perspective if you see ritual cannibalism for what it is/was.
It's funny, but one of my main discoveries of life is that we are always trying to make things an actual part of ourselves. That's what love is, in fact. Ritual cannibalism and the Eucharist are just variations on that pattern.
Yes. Life is stranger than fiction.

Then I will only post this twice.
53 Then Jesus said to them: "Amen, amen, I say unto you: unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. 54 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up in the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
Jesus does not agree with you, heretic.
Your suggestion is an assumption. I have no problem at all with the spritual true meaning of the passage. I love the bible and I love you.
I love you too. It doesn't mean you are reading the passage as written.
If it is not a Vampire cult, it has missed a perfect chance!
it has been sucking the life out of the masses for years!!!!!- Motown2Chitownposted 13 years ago0
Vampire cult maybe, but I don't see how we're so secret about it.
"He" is a figment of your imagination sir.
Nah! All the threat I have had were made by bible bashers. I gave the quoran the biggest serve in one of my hubs. Don't bother looking for it, you won't even like the title, and it's buried at the end of my hublist.
