    No, actually I don't, unless you count my avoidance of stepping on bugs as a ritual.

    • Nothing about this story disturbs me. I just think it's funny that UKers now get to breath in their neighbors' mistakes.

        Over to the Legal Eagle :

        Cannibalism is the nonconsensual consumption of another human's body matter. In the United States, there are no laws against cannibalism per se, but the act of cannibalism would probably violate laws against murder and against desecration of corpses.

        The British formally outlawed cannibalism in the early 1800s.[1] By most accounts, it was the spread of Western religion and law into pre-industrial societies that extinguished many cannibalistic practices.[2] In countries with established legal infrastructure—that is, in which they were economically successful enough to afford courts—cannibalism had already been made rare.

        One case in which nonconsensual survival cannibalism takes center stage is taught in most every criminal law course: Regina v. Dudley and Stevens. In Dudley, two upstanding naval citizens, Dudley and Stevens, along with their shipmates Brooks and Parker, were marooned on a raft after their vessel, the Mignonette, was destroyed in a storm.[3] They had no fresh water on the raft, and just two cans of turnips. They managed to fight off a shark attack and capture and eat a sea turtle, but they ended up starving and thirsting for many days.[4] The youngest and weakest, Parker, buckled and drank sea water, which made him sick with dehydration.[5] After Parker went comatose, Dudley killed him and the survivors drank his blood and ate his meat for the next week before being rescued.[6] The judges in that case did not accept the necessity defense and sentenced the defendants to death. Judge Posner defends the Dudley convictions, arguing that enforcing criminal penalties for cannibalism forces the perpetrators to kill only if the circumstances are so drastic as to make murder worth the later punishment.[7]

          That's nice for you to think so. It's pretty common in Christianity to expand the dogma to incorporate all other beliefs possible, so I'm not shocked that you claim me as being part of your religious group of people.

          This is like whaleboy telling me that as an agnostic I'm actually an atheist.

            Nathaniel Neanderthal says :

            A Neanderthal skeleton first unearthed in a cave in southwestern France over a century ago was intentionally buried, according to a new 13-year reanalysis of the site.

            Confirming that careful burials existed among early humans at least 50,000 years ago, the companions of the Neanderthal took great care to dig him a grave and protect his body from scavengers,

              I love how all your assumptions come piling in here. As if you are incapable of building anything but strawmen before knocking them down... oh wait.

              Seriously, I'd have thought that most people consider Christians to close down who is a "member" not expand it.

              So the question for you is do you think that ancient Greek faith was a religion? They didn't follow a book - so they were spirituality?

              • I find burial, graves and graveyards to be extremely creepy. It's just an odd thing to do. I don't understand religion's obsession with death. It's basically deathporn.

                          No, I'm talking about porn where the actors pretend they are zombies or something.

                                They had priests and priestesses? They had Gods and Goddesses and there were rules about how to revere them?
