Not in the cannibalism way tho

Nonsense response. What is the definition of cannibalism? Here, let me provide a link: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cannibalism

You have not explained why eating the flesh and blood of another human is not cannibalism.

God cannot be comprehended by us, and nothing happens that is supernatural, but just out of our understanding of nature.

So does the transubstantiation happen? Does that little cracker turn into some Jesus liver pate? Does that thimble sip of wine turn into O-neg blood? According to catholic.com (a reputable source, right?), it literally happens.

and Jesus wasnt a wizard. He was and is the son of God

He wasn't a wizard? Someone who exercises supernatural powers? You know who else was the son of a god? Hercules. He wasn't really a wizard tho, so plus one to Jesus, I guess.

he was literally sacrificing himself for our sins so we may reap what we did not sow

For an immortal godbeing to be inconvenienced for a weekend doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice. Let's assume it actually happened. The whole torture, crown of thorns, spikes in the hands/feet (nevermind that wouldn't actually pin a human to an actual crucifix), it was what? A day or two all together? If this was nearly 2000 years ago, that's like 730,000 days ago. So let's say five days total: 2 of the dying, 3 of being dead in a tomb (long weekend). Five days out of 730,000. Is it really a sacrifice?
