Bloodlust and Cannibalism
The reason why the Christian doctrines of the Trinity and of the Deity of Christ are so important to civilization is because of their effects on relational theology. In the Ecumenical Creeds the Church Fathers were able to break away from a pagan understanding of deity and present to the world a definition of “godkind” which became the “foundations of social order.” Because it posited that all members of the Trinity are equally god, it created a demand to view all people as equally human.
Man becomes like what he worships.
Up until this time, as roaming tribes in an empty world would encounter others in their migrations, the notion that alien tribes were somehow sub-human gave the pretext for genocide. Thus, cultures which do not believe in a special creation and a unity of kind in the human species necessarily become violent and cannibalistic. It produces a psychological condition in which the eating of human flesh is no different than that of eating the flesh of any other animal which is considered inferior on the food chain.
That is why this series opened with a discussion of Arianism. A doctrine which makes Christ a sub-deity leads to a view of sonship in which, at the human scale, children are less than human. George Lamsa, the foremost 20th Century Aramaic scholar, noted frequently in his writings that Middle Eastern societies have had a low view of children. Dominated by a strict “monistic” monotheism such as Mohammedism, children do not achieve their full humanity until they become adults. Consequently, children become victims of neglect and even abuse.
In contrast, the Christian religion has the Magi doing homage to the infant Messiah. He was not merely a “potential” Messiah or a “becoming” Son of God which would be manifested at some later momentous event such as his baptism. Rather, He was “God of very God” from the moment of conception, just as unborn babies are fully human at conception.
Because the West has been drifting from its Christian roots for several generations, there is an increasing urge to violence, bloodlust, and cannibalism. Vampirism has captivated the imagination of popular entertainment. Television is a useless endeavor as the storylines now must include vampires, cannibals, zombies and other monster-figures in an attempt to shock the sensibilities, but really, in the end, desensitize the viewer.
It is true that historically Western nations influenced by Christianity have skirted the social implications of this Trinitarian formula by creating other superstitions involving demons. Evil becomes defined by a doctrine of metaphysical contamination. The excuse for genocide is renewed by vilifying one’s opposition as “depraved,” “the spawn of Satan” and for other signs of “demonic” possession against whom violence then becomes justified.
An example would be the pre-medieval Irish. Because they were not Catholic, they were placed under the Papal ban which excused the invasions by the Saxons and Normans. Later, after they were thoroughly Catholic, they came in turn under the Protestant ban during the time of Cromwell, now to exterminate them, seize their lands, and export the survivors as slaves to the sugar plantations of the Barbados.
Today, there is an entire subculture which believes in “lizard people” as an evil aberrant to the human species. Usually, these lizard people are somehow Jews, which while we recognize that Judaism may be like Islam in creating subhuman categories, nevertheless, cannot be a true Judaism if it practices non-kosher eating practices. Eating human flesh and drinking blood are not kosher, and no good Jew would live this way, even if he believed that Gentiles were “goyim” or cattle. Kosher meat requires “the cloven foot and the chewing cud”, criteria which the goyim do not satisfy. Consequently, if any Jew ingests such non-kosher meats, he is not true a Jew and has profaned himself.
Likewise, indulging ideologies in regards to space aliens, nephilim, man-eating giants, and genetically modified humans, all point to the same thing: a justification for genocide of beings which by whatever criteria the imagination may conjure, are identified as non-human.
There are modern cults which practice cannibalism and do so as a self-proclaimed affirmation of their supremacist beliefs. Members eat human flesh because they view themselves as “gods.” But we identify these people by their behavior, not because we see some hallucination of “the mark of Cain.” My book from long ago, The Seed of Cain & the Revival of Mystic Humanism, argued that Satanists can only be identified by these horrific practices, not by real or imagined deformities.
Survival in the Post-2046 World
In the post-nova Ice Age which we think may commence in 2046AD, scarcity will create the urge for some groups to practice cannibalism. We think that human depravity creates a defacing of the image of God and a degradation of our humanity. While it can be debated whether or not eating human flesh can alter the human DNA – much like the Mad-Cow disease which infects bovines forced to eat the ground remains of their species – it does, at least, change the psychological condition of the persons eating it.
The Noahide Laws reiterated by James at the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, forbade the eating of blood and things strangled. This conforms to the Mosaic prohibition of vampirism, murder, and the eating of things which die of natural causes. Under no circumstances, can human flesh be regarded as kosher.
Nevertheless, vampirism is a popular custom among satanic cults. Women who will not have sex with you will enthusiastically bare their necks for you to suck their blood.
Other cults sing the praises of ingesting menstrual blood and at the urging of some counter-culture midwives, mothers eat their afterbirth.
The lines get fuzzier over things like blood transfusions and vaccines (which some refuse because they are made from blood by-products), and adults drinking human breast milk. In the legends of the famed Scottish warrior, William Wallace, we are told that he avoided death from starvation because a woman literally “nursed” him back to health.
Ingesting human semen is another gray area. On the one hand, we recognize the role of the woman (like that of the Holy Spirit) to clean-up a man’s pollutions. But on the other, it does not seem kosher.
The origins of fellatio comes from the ancient fertility religions which used healthy human saliva as a seminal extender. The act was immediately followed by cunnilingus in order to maximize conception within the village harem. While this custom can be excused because it was used for purposes of fecundity, the ingestion of the semen seems to defeat this justifiable goal.
If such customs seem unpleasant or even sinful to you, then you must prepare, not just for survival, but for a civilized survival.
