[Sca-cooks] RE: Cannibalism , ritualistic or otherwise

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

Ok, leaving the transubstantiation/cannibalism issue aside for the moment,
how about the spiritual aspects of sharing the wine and bread?  Going back
to the Roman and Greek gods and religious observances, eating the grain and
drinking the product of the vine is in effect eating the body of the gods as
they are manifested in the fruits of the field and vinyard.  Surely that
figured into the symbology of the Christ's words, they were mostly all
Romans, after all.
So what about focusing on the spirituality of the foods themselves?
