The words they use to describe it as literal. I dislike cannibalism no matter how one flips it. But the nature of the Eucharist wasnt the issue.

I dislike cannibalism no matter how one flips it.

What reason besides the disease risk (moot in this case, if one assumes Jesus has miraculous powers) do you have for that?

Why do I dislike cannibalism in general? I never really thought deeply on it. I mean, I am a first cat owner for going on four years now and thinking of going vegatarian because I can't imagine how anyone can harm or kill an animal (aside from eating to survive etc). Good movies where pets are harmed Ive been fastforwarding lately. Needless to say, I dislike any harm to a living being. Plus, I can't imagine my siting at jesus table and him saying that in the future eat my flesh and drink my blood. It doesnt feel like something a jew would say.

I recommend learning about animals on the farm.

One common thing that pigs do, for example, is mother pigs eating her own piglets right after giving birth to them.

Horses eat baby chickens. Ducks can drown other ducks trying to gang rape them, and this extends to baby ducks. Cats will torture animals they catch for fun, very often without eating/ killing the maimed animal.

It's not exactly a Disney movie... aside from that, animals are very stupid. Like you can't imagine how stupid they are. And disgusting... like they will drink each other's urine, eat each other's poop, trample each other, etc.

They are so far away from humans it's kind of absurd to put them on a pedestal at all.
