Would you eat me?

[aReformedPatriot]

Now I know that is a strange question. And some of you probably clicked it just to see what was going on. I can't say I blame you. The other night, on the way to work, my friend Matt and I were discussing the old movie "Alive. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106246/)" And then I posed the question: If we were trapped on a snowy mountain with no way down till summer, if I died would he eat me to survive.

A purely random question, I agree. He said he would not. In all honesty I would probably eat him and do my best to start a fire and have a steak. lol. Then I began jabbing at him saying I was offended that he would not eat me under such circumstances and called it suicide because he would rather die than be sustained by a perfectly able food source.

So what would you do? Would you rather die or survive? ^_^

[bluetrinity]

I would only eat your buttocks. After that, you're on your own.

Sorry, Envoy. I only dine on Arminians. The last Calvinist I ate gave me gas and a truly strange aftertaste...

Calvinists will put some hair on your chest, that's for sure!

This is a book in my personal library--I kid you not.

[RajunCajun86]

haha, can't stop laughing, haha
my answer: no

[edb19]

I don't think so - since I look forward to the day when my body (and your's) will be resurrected - how would we look with chunks missing???

[arunma]

Well I'm a vegetarian, so I wouldn't eat any of you.

...maybe an unbeliever. ^_^

[£amb]

I don't know. If you look anything like your CF character, I feel like I would be eating a 9 year old...;) :D

My first reaction is one big "ew", but who knows what we would truly do in that situation. I'll just make sure to pack some A-1 sauce with me on my next plane trip. :)

If the person died from means other than disease (and because of that animal attacks are out just in case), I'd not eat them.

However if it came to cannibalism while people were alive, then:

-volunteers would be favored over non-volunteers.

-the more they can contribute to society, less likely they'll get eaten.

-the more of thier lives they have ahead of them, less likely they'll get eaten.

-if they're they have loved ones (children, fiancee/spouse), they're less likely to be eaten than me.

-the more likely they are to survive, less likely they'll get eaten.

-if they're real jerks, however, they'll be higher priority on "who get's eaten first."

So, I'd eat an geriatric overweight diabetic pensioner with Alzheimer's syndrome, who's not with his family, and who's kids are well grown and grand kids are old enough to handle a gruesome death of a grand parent or too young to remember.

Infants, if I'm the only one there to take care of them, would be eaten (sad to say), because there's no point in both of us dying.

However, married doctor and schoolteacher in their 20s or 30s with a child between not old enough to take care of themselves, I'd volunteer my flesh for.

[FallingWaters]

Many years ago, there was a movie based on a true story of how some modern-day folks had crashed their plane in a snowy mountain, and some of the survivors resorted to eating the flesh of those who had died. I do not judge them for what they did. There, but for the grace of God, go I.

I would like to think I would not do such a thing, but when life and death are on the line, black and white are no longer so clear. We truly don't know how we would behave until faced with everything they were faced with.

Although I can't for the life of me imagine any part of the human body that would even taste anything better than revolting. Perhaps it would be better to starve to death. Is there any scripture that addresses this?

About in the same sections saying "Don't eat pork."

I remember there was a part with Israel during a famine, and people ate thier children. And the king seemed more distraght that they were in a situation where people ate their children and were cheating each other (A shares kid with B in exchange for sharing own kid, B hides own kid from A instead of sharing) than the fact that they were eating kids. I can't seem to find it in my notes at the moment (darn loose sheets in spiral note books copied from various books in public libraries!)

BTW, human muscle tissue is supposed to taste like salty pork.

EDIT: It's 2 Kings, 6:25 and on.

Yeah, but I know a few nine year olds I wouldn't mind eating. One of my friends has a little sister about this age, and she can be quite the brat at times. And back when my little brother was nine, I would have not shed many tears if he was eaten. :D

Would I do it? http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f4/redgifs/smilies/th_082502no_prv.gif way!!

[RichardT]

yes, I would eat you, only because i'm starving...

[mlqurgw]

Having met you and knowing that you are a fullgrown man I would have to say that it would take a while to eat you. I would have to keep you alive while I took the non life threatening parts first so you wouldn't spoil. You know, al ittle off the back, then a little off the chest, and then may a thigh or calf. But I will have to say you probably wouldn't taste very good. You are a Baptist and we are a sour lot.

[JacobHall86]

You are a Baptist and we are a sour lot.

Lawls. Awesome.

Baptist People are the meanist people in the world most of the time. I dont get it, The Joy of the Lord is our strength, I dunno what thier problem is.

[Katakalupto]

Well, the Baptists around here all have ALOT of church fellowship dinners. So, I'm assuming you'd be meaty. Yeah I'd probably dig in. Good thing I carry salt in my purse. Makes me wonder if I should start carrying A1.

Garrr...

You would eat me while I was still alive!?!?!?! So what's the real reason you want me to come over labor day weekend? To "have me over for dinner"? lol. Man, if you started carvin' me up while I was alive I imagine I might not take so kindly to that and I might swear at you. :-P

Well I'm a vegetarian, so I wouldn't eat any of you.

You crack me up.

That's why it's also called "Long Pig"...

[JPPT1974]

I don't know as I guess it would really depend!
LOL!

[edb19]

One of the other nurses and I were talking about this at work yesterday. We decided that due to all the hormones, chemicals, antibiotics we consume on a regular basis - plus the fact that so many of us are overweight (high in fat) consuming human meat wouldn't be very healthy.

[JacobHall86]

Do what you gotta do to survive.

BTW, this body is temporary, as long as im not eating someones soul i dont think I would ahve a problem with it. Although i would want to cook it first.

[GordonSlocum]

OK - we are on this remote mountian. We are freezing. You die and I eat you. As soon as I finish eating you the Rapture takes place.

Explain to me how your body is going to be resurrected from by stomach as I am caught up in the air. Now that is a sight for sore eyes to behold.

[AJ]

I'd saute you with a little butter and garlic and chow down! With an agreeable glass of wine, of course... :sorry:

GAH! Makes me want to vomit. :sick: I'm not sure I could eat ya Mark, even if my life depended on it... I have plenty of fat reserve though, so I'd probably just hibernate like a bear if I crash on a mountaintop with you. :D

Well, God does work in mysterious ways. You may just regurgitate him whole at that time. :thumbsup:

[Abbadon]

Explain how people who have long since rotted in the ground or have been cremated are going to be caught up in the air.

Or, perhaps, the resurrected body isn't as physical as how we've read into the Bible would imply.

[RaginCajun88]

I probably wouldn’t allow myself be so far away from civilizations with you where this situation would arise but if I were I would probably wouldnt eat you

Theologically I am not too sure of my end times views; they confuse me too much. But nonetheless, from dust we were created and to dust we will return. Regardless of my eschatology, glorification is the completion of the gospel and is a fact of scripture. I would like to think that no matter the shape of our imperfected bodies, the Lord is omnipotent enough to rejoin me (my soul is 'me') with my newly perfected body.

Besides, calvinists are crusty and hard to digest and most of him will probably pass through as roughage anyhow :P

:o:o never heard such a thing

lol Is cannibalism more of a male thingy. I certainly wouldn't do it. :sick:

Poor Menno sounds like he's talking from experience! :P

[Jehane]

Thanks guys. I haven't laughed so much in ages. This was the funniest thread ever.

[Godssong]

Wow...this is HILARIOUS!!!

And as to the eschatological thing...um, there ARE some Christians who have been eaten (that whole cannibalism in REALITY in some tribal instances, etc.), so what happens to them if there's a problem with me eating you???

[Katakalupto]

lol Is cannibalism more of a male thingy. I certainly wouldn't do it. :sick:
Naw, I'm willing to try anything at least once. It was my mom's house rule, it just kinda stuck.


In the OT laws, is cannibalism forbidden?:scratch: Just wondering.

Don't know, but at least it's another thing to celebrate living under grace instead of law^_^

Glad to see good quality threads revived:thumbsup:

[JPPT1974]

Nah if you ask me, cannobolism sounds gross
I wouldn't even try it at all!
Let's leave it at that!:sick:

[wmc1982]

funny, I just watched that movie today on tv. I'm a picky eater, I would need a picture of you first to know for sure. :)

[country]

No I really don't think I could. Or would want to. It would be better to freeze to death.
