Genuinely dont get the fuss. Yeah I’d be baffled if my friends ate my corpse in the middle of the city. But if we were stuck on a mountain? Go nuts. Food is just fuel and we’re made of meat.
I dont get our sanctimonious attitude toward corpses having worked at a funeral home. When you’re dead you’re dead. Don’t know why we’re this precious about literal dead meat. Not like the worms don’t have a feast.
Just saying we both went to an establishment where eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a thousand year old god was considered perfectly wholesome activity for a 7 year old.
Then they bragged about having the skeletal hand of a man who died eight hundred and eighty eight years ago.
I’m not even throwing shade that was metal as hell.
“Hey kids wanna see a dead body?” does loops around my protestant, Jewish and Muslim friends.
Wouldn’t trade my upbringing for the world. It is a continuing source of spooky as hell inspiration.
Yes but eating the transubstantiated flesh of God Incarnate via a wheat based wafer as necessary for perfect Communion with God so that we may perfect our self in the Image and Likeness of God is not quite the same as simply eating ones coworker for lunch lol
Still laughing at the thought of a rebellious converted 1st century Greek teenager explaining his religion to his outraged parents.
“You do what at those gatherings with the flesh and blood of who ?”
“sigh You just don’t get it, mom!”
“You’re forbidden to leave the house on Sunday, young man!”
“You can’t order me around! I’ll do whatever I want and go to church!”
I’d argue ritual cannibalism you find in some cultures is not exactly the same thing as cannibalism practiced by westerners whose entire upbringing and moral education depict it as incredibly wrong in all circumstances lol
Resorting to cultural and moral relativism can get you pretty far but it’s not like we can really do otherwise without risking being just straight-up wrong frankly
Cosanguinous relationships is something entirely different tho. No way you can compare it with murder
Given the trajectory of current Western society, going to church will once again be a rebellious thing to do. Just like it was then in Rome and is now in Saudi Arabia, China and maybe Japan to name a few.
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to offend you. Although I have never met you ingame, you’re my third favorite story forum poster! How can I live with myself? I… I have to think this over tears well in Gurds eyes I’m sorry.
Thank you. I know what I’m doing this time at least. And all things considered I suppose I’m happy I did this now, and not down the line when I had people depending on me.
Took a break from the forums for a little while and come back to see Danuser of all people has posted in the story forum. I hope he posts here more, that’d be great.
