I don't understand the eating of the body and drinking of the blood cannibalistic ceremony.

Crucially, the blood of the innocent...

Crucially? But why? And the need for sacrifices? Fuckin stupid.

I understand drinking the blood of your enemies or the guilty who "deserve" to be vanquished, from a logical view. But the innocent should deserve compassion and shelter.

Communion is the weekly dose of innocent blood to cure you of your sins.

They need to top you off...

First you gotta buy into the notion of sins, beyond Natural Law: do not harm (including steal) nor deceive (info harm).

First you gotta buy into the notion of sin

Sin is an easy sell. Everyone has a lasting sensation when they know they've done wrong. There's something to it, but I don't know if it's a lifetime accounting.

Also, they generally sell the concept(s) as a missionary package deal.

We're focusing on some details that have been layered on to "Christianity".

Christianity was originally popular as a radical form of pacifism, predicated on the idea that all people are equal in the eyes of God.

It also follows that rituals and sacrifices (and other rules imposed by other men) aren't necessary to have a personal connection with the creator. He can personally forgive you.

The Roman Catholic Church added layers of illegitimate fine print and vulgarized the original and exceedingly principled version(s?) of Christianity.

The Roman institutions were/are serial corrupter/co-opters.

I have lots of regrets, but that doesn't make them sins.

Television is the new church now. Watch regularly to be programmed to obey authority. Before it was weekly surmons.

You ever check out Joseph Atwill's doc and book on Caesar's Messiah?
