Thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited

 

 

 

 

The Caribbees were wont to geld their children,

on purpose to fat and eat them.

-- John Locke

It's a red letter Sunday when you read that Rod Dreher, author of the "most important religious book of the decade", agrees that the Eucharist is pagan cannibalism

He forgets it's also idolatry, but hey, take what you can get, right?

Pachamama call your office.

After eating human brains, what's next, Reza Aslan arguing practitioners of ritual cannibalism should be free to practice their religion in the US?

Take, eat, this is my brain . . .

Story here.

Don't read the story if you're eating lunch right now, I'm about to lose mine.

The hubbub isn't about what it should be about, the cannibalism, but about the purported caricature of Hinduism implied by Aslan's documentary.

The guy should be arrested and put away for participating, but hey, he's inviolable because he's a Muslim.

Many Won't Be Fruitful And Multiply, But There's Only One Group Which Can't

"Do not be deceived."

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

-- Genesis 1:27f.

"Be it then, as Sir Robert says, that anciently it was usual for men to sell and castrate their children, Observations, 155. Let it be, that they exposed them; add to it, if you please, for this is still greater power, that they begat them for their tables, to fat and eat them: if this proves a right to do so, we may, by the same argument, justify adultery, incest and sodomy, for there are examples of these too, both ancient and modern; sins, which I suppose have their principal aggravation from this, that they cross the main intention of nature, which willeth the increase of mankind, and the continuation of the species in the highest perfection, and the distinction of families, with the security of the marriage bed, as necessary thereunto."

-- John Locke, First Treatise of Government
