Christian Anglo-saxon Cannibalism

[Malaikah]

huh?? im confused, i thought a pagan was someone with polytheistic beliefs? like idol worshippers and stuff :?

 

[duskiness]

White Europeans have been the most barbaric savages throughout history, complete with an unbeaten track record of cannibalism.

-I think You wanted to say: "White Europeans were, are and for ever will be the most barbaric savages throughout history". Doesn't that sound better?

Irish and Ukrainian cannibalism
within the past 200 years

Cannibalism was reported during the Irish potato famine of 1845-1849 in Western Europe. More recently, in Eastern Europe, the Ukrainians and th Russians have indulged in the abhorrent practise of anthropophagy.

- People when they are dying of starvetion do this. Not only in Europe. But unless You know how dying pains, Your not the best person to judge them.

Cannibalism in Putin's Russia
Cannibalism has been quite a common practice in Russia recently.

-"common". LOL so don't go there!

what if it is true though, its ok to point fingers at Africans who practice this, but then oh my the Europeans couldnt have done this could they have? this is the very denile and way of thinking that still makes europeans feel superior over everyone else, oh please im sure every culture has practiced cannibalism and some still do.

Who has said that it's alright to point the finger at Africans??? :?

The point people are making, is that Pikachu's post is written in a way ('is rampant', 'is rife', 'the barbaric Christian practice', 'quite common pratice') which gives the impression that cannibalism is/has been a common practice amongst Christians.

I don't think anybody is in denial here, but you can see by people's reaction that it is quite difficult to take such an exaggerated statement seriously.
As far as I can see nobody has denied that there is some truth in the original statements. Neither has anybody said 'Let's point the finger at African's instead ... they are much worse anyway' (Where do you get that idea from, Crystal?)

Clearly cannibalism is a horrible thing. I am sure most others would agree with me!

Peace.

LOL very funny

1 – None of those sources are reliable or even were written by any established scholars. In fact, some of those sources barley touch on the subject.

2 – To think that the consumption of the flesh and blood of Christ suggests that Christians where Cannibals is ridiculous.

I think this error in thinking is caused from the Age of Enlightenment, or the 18th century. In the 18th century, humans started to look at the world more rationally and logically. This was also, for the most part, the birth of science. A side effect of this “enlightenment,” it became harder to look at things as symbolic, including the bible. All of the sudden the bible took on a literal meaning. From looking at the bible and looking at how Catholics take communion as literal, one might conclude that if Christians eat the flesh and blood of Christ, then the ordinal followers of Christ probably actually consumed his blood and flesh. And that would be cannibalism. However, it should be looked at as symbolic.

Then again, I’m no scholar ether.

Hi Crystal4Peace

It seems that we both read each others post with our own interpretation and bias.

It seems that I have issues with the anti-Christian stance of Pikachus' post.

It seems that you have experienced racist white people in your own neighbourhood.

Those two view points are both valid, but are not really related. I talk about religious hatred, you talk about racial discrimination.
If Pikachu has posted this to cause division and tensions, let's not give him the satisfaction! :X
What do you think, sister? :thankyou:

Be in peace.
