HP11 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) We were out walking the dogs in the desert this evening, when a fragrant smell wafted over the creosote, saguaro and cholla...from the direction of the distant white spire above the local Baptist church. "Mmmm, smells like barbecue," she said. "That's right," I replied, "you have your choice of beef, pork or human. The barbecue sauce is right over there! Dig in! For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I in him." "That is so gross!" she said. "Jus' talkin' 'bout John, 6:55."

Benpercent Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Jesus is probably like that one Greek god (can't think of his name) that was sentenced to having his liver eaten out by a vulture for eternity, for the crime of bringing fire to mortals. Lord blessed us with infinite barbecue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no expert, but I think it was Prometheus that was said to of stolen fire from the gods and bought it to men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I am no expert, but I think it was Prometheus that was said to of stolen fire from the gods and bought it to men. Technically, he wasn't a god but one of the Titans, I'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgoist Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Correct. He is not a god. He is a Titan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpipe Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I classify 6 overlapping and mutually-implicit cannibalisms. Some examples supplied: 1. The Cannibalism of Meat (but only once per victim, and of one’s own not at all. Not very efficient.). 2. The Cannibalism of of Money (slavery, involuntary prostitution, taxation, conscription, loansharking, gambling, politics, war, other theft. Somewhat more efficient). 3. The Cannibalism of of Mind (fraud, bad law, plagiarism, propaganda, emotion-pandering advertising and salesmanship, cosmetics, dressing-up, bullshit-in-general.) 4. The Cannibalism of of Soul, in which the cannibal devours one’s free will in order to conquer and even reproduce his soul by forcibly implanting it into his victims’ heads (religion, brainwashing, indoctrination, subjugation through fear, hereditary identity and obligation, public education, collectivism, racism, hereditary class, statism, parasitism from below as well as above, etc. Not to be confused with proper parental guidance.) 5. The Cannibalism of of Self (self-sacrifice: to believe that any of the above are necessary, good, or holy, and to willingly participate therein.) 6. The Cannibalism of Totalitarianism (all of these combined: 1984, militant religion.) Ayn Rand is the first person to blow the whistle on and understand all these, much better than I; and Objectivism is the first and only way to fight them consistently and thoroughly.

No. Flesh is the "flesh" of a mushroom, blood is the dew that accumulates on a mushroom. Ancient (and modern) cultures thought that you can have a connection to God by taking drugs.
