I don’t think a little satire about religion’s “phraseology” is bad. After all, the phrases are simply something a human wrote, not the actual words of God inscribed on stone.

Isn’t Christianity all about Christ’s self-sacrifice for humanity? The sacrifice of One for the many so to speak.

And aside from the dicta of faith, if I were you, I wouldn’t want to delve too closely into the canons of liturgy and ritual that involve eating and drinking the transubstantiated body and blood of Christ.

Satire is good when it sheds light on the truth; bad when it leads into error. Yours is of the latter kind.

“Isn’t Christianity all about Christ’s self-sacrifice for humanity? The sacrifice of One for the many so to speak.”

What does that have to do with error?

“I wouldn’t want to delve too closely into the canons of liturgy and ritual that involve eating and drinking the transubstantiated body and blood of Christ.”

That would explain why you have apparently refrained from delving closely enough to understand the matter.

What you are describing has nothing to do with Yah'shua (Jesus)

It has much to do with Paganism.
