That'd be a whooooooollllllleee lotta laughin people. Some of the "history" (and I say that purely tounge in cheek) in the bible is a retelling of other "histories" from other books and events in other religions that didn't even happen in the time span they state it did. Like the birth of Jesus. Or the name "jesus" which wasn't even his name.
Virtually EVERYTHING Paul states in the Bible is completely fabricated. He never even MET Jesus!! So...how could he have been an apostle? The telling and the painting of the supposed "Last Supper" is also false, since Paul is pictured and described in the presence of Jesus, whom he never met in his life. There's so many lies and contradictions of events in the bible it'll make your head spin like the Excorsist.
Don't feel for a moment that the human ego isn't so selfish as to immortalize it self in a book that people were going to pass along for generations. Which reminds me, time to make another thread.

Jesus' serving of the Last Supper was symbolism, or else he would have cut himself and served his blood.

That's not a freaudian refference to anything. People are perfectly concious that they are making that statement, which is a common phrase in our scociety. Other civilizations don't go around saying that lol.
And I'm still looking to see which comunities PRACTICE cannibalism and do it out of compliment as you suggested.

In order to get God to say that, they must have been doing some pretty EFF'd upp stuff.

Where did "God" destroy the world that we still live in?
Where specifically does it say that god says it regreted making man kind?

^^why is everyone avoiding adressing this? Dude said it's okay to boil my son and eat him, and then did so. That's normal conduct to you?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
you don't know that whole story, the King is the King of a city that has little to no food....and there is a begging woman on the street as the king is passing and she says lets eat your son today and mine tomorrow, and they ate the kings son which was going to be killed anyways for working with a man of god, Elisha, and then the woman hid her son..which was also to be killed.
Elisha told the king God will feed them tomorrow if they be patient and he told him they will see food but they were to not eat, but the king had ate his son and then some drama happens GOD makes the Syrian camp hear noises thinkin it was an army coming to kill them and they run for their life leaving everything behind and so on... and then the next day(the tomorrow Elisha was talking about) the King hears of all the stuff left behind and he forgets about punishing the woman for not upholding her part of the deal and the king and the people of the city go to the Syrian camp and they take all the food and go back to the city and when The King is at the gate returning to the city Elisha is there and says "I told you so"= translated to modern times..
and GOD says "Now if I should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shal not eat thereof, and then the Kind dies=basically that right there is God saying i told you not to eat until today and he says if you were in heaven and could see down to earth would you be able to follow my directions, and the king says yes because he could see it but couldnt eat it....
then it tells of Elisha talking with the woman and blah blah blah
Facts I left out
-The King also had her son's head cut off
-Elisha brings the woman's son back to life "restored his life" as they say
Apexx you would be a great person to have Bible study with, I haven't read the Bible in a while until now and I thank you for that

Ok, so basiclaly, you're saying that the KING was a cannibal, which we alredy knew. But what you're ignoring is that you're saying that the
King was THAT hard up for a meal that he boiled his own son?
I highly doubt it.

What's symbolic in "eat my flesh and drink my blood, for my flesh is just as any other meat and my blood is as any other drink"?
Jesus wasn't the type to try to confuse anyone, he spoke clearly. It's their own misinterpretation of his statements that confuse people, like taking meaning from something he never stated. If he wanted you to eat some bread and drink some wine, he'd have said "eat bread and drink wine, and pretend it's my body and blood". Wafers are not bread. crackers are not bread. Grape Juice is not wine. Grape Kool-aide is not wine. So how is anyone paying dues to this statement if they aren't even consuming the actual food they say he said to consume!!
Especially when that "food" is his own body in the literal sense, as illustrated whne he states "heat my flesh, for my flesh is just as any other meat, and my blood is just as any other drink". That dosen't say "eat this bread" nor "drink this wine".
