Re: Eucharist did Jesus say to be done in his Memory?
And if someone TODAY were to say: "Eat my body and drink my blood" they'd be locked up in a mental hospital.
Isn't that cannibalism?
Spiritualism is in the mind and not the body.
It's just one more bit of insanity you can attribute to organized religion. -

It depends on the context or circumstances.
The bread and wine that Jesus was sharing was most definitely not his actual blood and body so it was a metaphor - context.
If trap or lost with no food or water people are known to do such things - circumstances.
Given those situation no one would be consigned to the mental hospital.

Oh I understand religion well enough and better than do the so-called religious because I experienced religion and also left that nonsense when I left childhood.
It is true that communists do not believe in God but rather in humanity's potential and in democratic rule.
Religion fits very well with those who favor totalitarian rule both celestial and terrestrial and those who think humans are basically evil, greedy and indeed, born in sin.Comment

Are they or have they ever been a communist country or government?
If not then the whole idea of communism is a belief in a mythical state....in short communist believe in something that's not real but purely theoretical and as of yet unproven.......sounds what you say about God and religion

The few states that they themselves and the rest of most the world believe to be communist were totalitarian.
Evil, greed and sin are moral concepts and as such are bound by culture, place and time.
Human beings are social animals, and as such create rules of behavior to achieve social goals.Comment
