Cannibals,

‘I read the whole bible as a kid. I wasn’t made to read it all, but it was
actively encouraged to curl up with a good psalm. I’m curious about
many biblical horror stories. I used to love movies about Jesus, and I
would fast-forward through the miracles and skip to the crucifixion.
Judas’ volcanically hot betrayal was camp, sure, but I wanted to see
blood. I felt wrong for this impulse, but sin is simply too much fun.
And surely, no rational god would equate cumming over a gay
Twitter bot, or lying to yourself about global warming, or eating a
yummy fruit with elite sins like cannibalism. Scripture separates the
body from everything around it, othering the entire ecosystem. Yet
we are very much part of the ecosphere, and we can’t stop eating it.’
