What sustains us, literally? spiritually? For me, in both cases, it’s food. In ancient Judaism, worshippers gave up valuable food animals as sacrifice to the God of the Temple. The brilliance – or the blasphemy – of Christianity is how communion turned the tables. Now the worshiper receives the sacrifice, they eat the body and the blood of God. Are they trying to switch places with God? What’s with the audacity and the departure from Jewish tradition? And how did a bunch of God Eaters end up the majority religion today?
