Cannabalism

[seebs]

Christ blasphemed?

That's what everyone said at the time.

 

[Risen Tree]

That's what everyone said at the time.

Yup. I was thinking the very same thing.

 

[MoonlessNight]

Uhhh....I think MURDER would be a pretty good argument against it!

But what about in cases where there is no murder involved?

For example in some tribes it is considered an act of respect to eat one's relatives after they have died. The rationale is usually that that way they will always be with their relatives. It also protects the body from desecration by animals to a much better extent than burial does, since there's no longer a body to desecrate.

The thread is about Cannabalism and not about murder....lol....

So, imagine if you're in a plane accident in the snow fields, with no one to help, You're hungry and you're able to eat human meat. The dude is dead, frozen...

Meal or No Meal?

 

[Blessed-one]

doesn't that depend on the person? how strong a will he has to survive that he would even breaches apart the walls of decency he has?

some people might rather die than cook such a meal.

The murder argument doesn't fly, as they're likely already dead when you eat them. If you've killed someone and then eaten them it would be murder -- but otherwise it isn't.

Personally I think that cannibalism is amoral -- it evidently isn't hurting anyone, as 'the food' is already dead when it occurs. That being said, I myself would never do it, as I find the concept both disturbing and physically sickening.

 

[Icystwolf]

Well, yes it may be sickening to some people... I personally find it sickening if they do it for their own imaginative gain or a gain to show strength, rather than a survival instinct.

For example, several years back, in East Timor. The leader of the militias, said he would eat the hearts of australian peace keeping soliders.

That I find sickening, because he wants to use cannabalism for a political and fear gain.

Now, pretend a girl was about to be abused, and a way to scare the "unlawful doer", was to bit his finger off and swallow it to scare that person....then....hmmmm.....

 

[Lillithspeak]

I've always thought that one of the most sickening things about religion was that body of my body, blood of my blood thing. Just thinking about that would make me toss my cookies if I had to put it in my mouth, instead of eating them. UGH. My second problem was using the vicious murder of Jesus as a symbol of religion, the torn and bleeding body on the cross is horrifying. Yet people kiss it! Hang it over their bed, wear it around their neck. It's awful. Why not use a symbol of a man in sandals and a robe walking along, or blessing someone or feeding someone food? The St Francis of Assisi statue is lovely if you ask me, for example. Why that horrid, gruesome depiction? Makes my spine shiver.

This sounds like blasphemy to me, equating cannibalism with Sacred Communion.

IIRC, in the early years of christianity, many people thought that christianity (at that time considered a sect of judaism) was made up of cannibals because of the concept of communion.

lol, I can certainly see how the misjudgment could be made.

 

[snowboarder1802]

The closest argument on Cannabalism, for Christians is lust..ie lust for the flesh.

But what is the main reason from the scriptures that out law this?

It's been said, that women will eat their own children, but doesn't mention eating humans, rather the context sounds more as if it talks about eating it's own flesh.

When it says "Lust of the Flesh" its talking about frornication. the "women eating thier own children" isnt a practice condoned by the Bible its something that was talked about in the bible

 

[Icystwolf]

therefore, cannabalism is allowed?

 

[AdJesumPerMariam]

No!
