“Half awake, we ate the blood and flesh of our murdered God. Then we sang, for what is dead will never die. Our God is eternal, has come back from death, sees and knows all, and is all powerful.”
Translation: I went to church on sunday, partook in the eucharist, then we sang a few hymns.
Christianity is very weird if you actually take a moment to think about it, especially the obsession with blood and cannibalism.
Most likely the Eucharist was an invention of Paul after a dream he had. There is a Jewish ritual at passover that has aspects of it. There were also mystery cults that had the idea of eating your god. Paul believed that other gods existed so it’s possible he had heard of these mystery cults practice and lumped it together with Jesus.
If the New Testament were written today the publishing company would be sued for copyright violations and critics would call it derivative. Not a single idea or event or word doesn’t come from early sources, nothing is unique about it. Which to be fair, writing fiction isnt easy.

Apparently the Eucharist used to be psychedelic, which explains a bit
You are talking about the mushroom cult idea by John Allegro aren’t you?
I am willing to concede that it does explain some parts of the history, not anymore than that. It is a model but I won’t endorse it.
Christianity is a blood cult.
