IDK man... Believing you're actually cannibalizing someone even if you're not is a bit more fucked up than understanding you're not actually eating human flesh and it's just a ritual.

    Ok here's a question - if you have bleeding gums and swallow the blood, are you a cannibal? What if somebody gives you a drop of their blood to swallow? If Catholics believe Jesus is immortal, do they think they're being cannibals by drinking a small amount of his blood with his consent (in fact, it's his idea)? In my mind the central question is, does this debate matter any more than an argument about whether Superman could beat up The Hulk? To that last one I'll say no, it doesn't, to me it's all just idle amusement.
