        A demigod is (roughly) 50% man 50% god. Jesus is supposed to be 100% man and 100% god. That’s less of a demigod and more of a contradiction.

            Ever heard of the satanic temple? An atheist religion. Heres their 7 tenets

            • One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

            • The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

            • One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

            • The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

            • Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

            • People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

            • Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

    OTOH it’s not literally consuming blood and flesh, it’s more like doing it in a D&D game, but with the self-delusion that it’s real.

      Well no, for Catholics it literally is. They’ve killed a ton of people of the years over this issue.

        My mom forced me into catechesis, uh, they have this cookie they believe that symbolizes God’s body. Once the teacher mentioned it and a girl didn’t know what was it. When I replied “It’s a cookie”, the woman got angry at me and began saying calling it a cookie was “disrespectful”.
