Kenny B: "That should really appeal to the Mudcat "Wee Frees" They will be banning fighting and cannibalism next and even posting on Mudcat a view contrary to theirs" I was puzzled by the reference to the Free Presbyterian Church, so I went to their website to check on their views about the Immaculate Conception, but it was closed for the Sabbath. No joke. Question: Is Cannibalism allowed on mudcat? It would seem that Cannibalism should be allowed. As Herodotus testifies, "When Darius was king of Persia, he summoned the Greeks at his court, and asked them what they would take to eat the dead bodies of their fathers. They replied that they would not do it for any money in the world. Later, in the presence of the Greeks, he asked some Indians, Callatiae, who do in fact eat their parents' dead bodies, what they would take to burn them. They uttered a cry of horror and forbade him to mention such a dreadful thing. One can see by this what custom can do." On the contrary, Cannibalism is not allowed, for as the learned doctors Swan and Flanders note, "Eating people is wrong."
