Serious Question - Do Christians really practice cannibalism?
Honestly, I don't mean to offend any Christian out there and am only asking this out of pure curiosity. So here's the story, I was watching a comedian talk about Christian churches and he was joking about how Christians practice eating a dead guy (I'm assuming Jesus), and how it's cannibalism. Now, obviously he's joking, but I'm really curious as to whether or not this is true that Christian churches make people eat (or at least give the idea of eating) a dead person?
@ The Collector
I don't seriously consider them practicing cannibalism (not by what the conventional sense is), but I am wondering if they actually do this kind of thing in churches?

It's simulated cannibalism.
It's only to easy to misrepresent the traditions of "other groups" to devalue them

That is hardly a new way to dehumanize a group so that they may be persecuted. It's been done over and over throughout history. Even the SS at times claimed that they destroyed the Warsaw Ghetto to protect children from cannibals.

But you can't be seriously considering Christians practicing cannibalism, do you?

No, the bread is a symbolic representation of the body of Christ and the water/wine is a symbolic representation of the blood of Christ. It isn't about the physical consumption, but what the body and blood of Christ represent, which is the atonement. Partaking of this sacrament is renewing our covenants we make at baptism to constantly apply the atonement to our lives.
