Food Of The Gods?

Does God want to eat us?  We recently commented on Charles Fort's theory that ""The Earth is a farm. We are someone else's property."

Perhaps he got the idea the Bible, where the 23rd Psalm begins "the Lord is my shepherd."  But the Psalmist doesn't take this imagery to it's logical conclusion; the Psalmist isn't shorn, then killed and eaten.

Still, Christians, especially Catholics, are often accused of cannibalism because of the imagery of the Last Supper.  "This is my body," says Jesus.  "Eat this in remembrance of me."

Reading Scripture with an open mind is hard.  We only see what we expect to see.  In GK Chesterton's Father Brown mystery "The Invisible Man"  everyone swears no one entered the building where the murder occured.  The killer became "invisible" by becoming ubiquitous - he disguised himself as a mailman.

Christian imagery depicts "the good shepherd," but is blind to its implications.  Raising us - for wool or any other purpose - is an action consistent with a flawed, limited creator - a Demiurge, not a Messiah.
