I suppose we got some irony? lolI just think it aint nothin like cannibalism.. it's symbolism
Symbolism, yes it is. But that's a given. He was asking if it symbolizes cannibalism or not.

cannibalism? no, the purpose of the eucharist is stricly a symbolic action that god supposedly wants us to do to remember his son, jesus. i think that cannibalism is not remotely involved with communion just because the whole purpose of the sacrament is representation.. is it not meant to be taken literally. i had some other stuff on my mind but i just forgot.
