Only bitter edge-lord atheists pretend to confuse the Eucharist ritual with cannibalism and even then they know the truth. It's no different to how many religious Hindus avoid stepping on the door frame when entering a house because they consider the act to be symbolic of disrespecting the line between life and death.
It's a phase that most edge-lords eventually outgrow.
Literalists need rituals to help them over an issue unsolved.
Cannibal comes from Canaan where it was the norm.
Many old rituals have been replaced for reasons.
Bread and wine in place of the blood/soma solution and a body are just one step up from cannibalism and is a literalist practice that needs to be abolished.
If/when the iDEAs behind the eucharist is understood, the ritual should be dropped. Like training wheels on a bike.
it is a symbol of the sacrifice for those not yet able to understand and needs to go. not everyone needs such hamfisted symbolic ritual.
Don't attempt to put me into an 'atheist, edge-lord' or some convenient box it won't work.
There are REASONS the profane aren't allowed into the inner Sanctum.
I love you atheist edge-lords. You redefine Christianity in a way that is 100% false and in a way that precisely ZERO Christians agree with and then pretend your silly nonsense has meaning.
Christ instituted the Eucharist at the last supper
If you believe it’s cannibalism, you are aligned with the people who martyred the early catholics (sunce the word “christian” was not invented until later...by catholics (“katholikos” meaning universal))
Luke 22:19 KJV And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Jesus was still man when He did this. Are you telling us He was also in the bread?
John 6:63 KJV It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
------>THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING<------
John 1:1 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Those who practice the eucharist speak the divinity of Christ out one side of their mouths, they deny it out of the other. Jesus came as the Word of God. You don't eat the Word, you read it. And study it. And LEARN it. This is what gives you SPIRITUAL life. Your flesh is already dead, that is why the babylonians have you tending to it with false rituals. Eat His Word and give life to your spirit.

John 6: 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Symbolism.

So angry. Heaps funny.
i don't like how when someone can't understand a point, they have to call names and pretend to be above the point not taken.
Catholic ritual is for those who need it. They 'redifined' cannibalism and you swallowed it. Welcome to Canaanite religion for the profane.
Jesus is the creator. Anything you touch, drink, or eat is he.

The apostles were catholic homie
it is literally how their successors described them and themselves.
Read some church fathers.

There was no new testament until when?
Tell me where in the bible are the words “sola scriptura” and why none of the early catholics practiced that until luther
