I think that's one of the ways God changed me, and is evidence of my salvation.
I think that is evidence of my salvation.Wow. So that's a sign of "salvation", is it?
So in essence, you have drawn the conclusion beforehand anyway, so you just do this because you're bored. Or because you're afraid that you might be wrong, so you'll just keep looking indefinitely because "it can't contradict the Bible".
Wow. You're making a mockery of science. Congratulations.
Are you sure God wanted you to stop learning, or did you stop on your own?
I'd hate to see anyone's God -- even your own -- get falsely blamed for that one.
I believe it's a reference to what we call the Lord's Table.
There are three major ways to look at it:
- TRANSUBSTANTIATION --- where the bread and wine literally become the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ.
- CONSUBSTANTIATION --- where the bread and wine spiritually become the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ.
- MEMORIALIZATION --- where the bread and wine [usually as grape juice] symbolize the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ.
The Aztecs would make bread out of amaranth in the shape of their god (cannot remember which one) and eat it. It scared the missionaries so much that the outlawed the farming of amaranth!
Thanks.
No matter how does one look at this, I still think it is a unique doctrine only found in Christianity.
Science is nothing but a mockery of God anyhow, it deserves to be mocked something fierce! It is BASED on a drawn conclusion that the present is the key to the past. An unproven, unsupportable conclusion.
I like the ad hominem that we're "freaks in a freak show" better.Religion gives a believer selective blindness and deafness,
the ability not to see what they don't want to see and not to hear what they don't want to hear,
and in America, stupidity is symbolized by the shape of a cross or a fish.

Yes you do have our attention, so do suicide bombers,In any case --- whether we're freaks or selectively blind and deaf --- we have you guys' attention --- don't we?
I think this one is easy to strike out.
Aztec people are pantheistic. They have dozens of gods. And they do human sacrifice. For such a religion, it is not surprising at all if they ate one of their god for some reason (I am not sure what was the reason)
This is an entirely different concept from that of the Lord's Supper in Christianity.
Who else eat their god?
I cant imagine why anyone would think that ritual cannibalism was an advanced civilized concept.
What is a "civilized" concept? And how could it be an advanced one?

consuming his flesh and drinking his blood? that's not metaphorically eating Jesus? or do you not think Jesus is a god?

My God makes sure that when your god catches up to a person --- that person goes where he is supposed to go.Yes you do have our attention, so do suicide bombers,
the only difference between you and suicide bombers is that they do damage and take lives in seconds,
you and your nutty friends take years, but the outcome in the end is still the same,
religious fanatics just doing their thing.
