Corpse Worship, or the Strange Traditions of Christianity

How will society assess the mental health of a person who, after the death of a close relative, keeps a part of it (hand, jaw, etc.) at home and at the same time constantly talks to her?

If you ever stumble upon a program dedicated to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra while watching TV, be sure to watch: you will learn a lot of interesting things that can cause an ambiguous reaction from a sane person. In particular, this applies to some points from the daily life that lives in the monastery of monks. As a rule, the excursion begins with a demonstration of the burial places of the ministers of religion. They are underground labyrinths leading to a spacious room in which the coffins are located. Of course, this is not unusual, if not for one "but": this room is intended for eating.

The clergy themselves explain this state of affairs by the need to enter into an invisible connection with the deceased, which happens during the meal on the coffins.

How will society assess the mental health of a person who, after the death of a close relative, keeps a part of it (hand, jaw, etc.) at home and at the same time constantly talks to her? The answer to this question is obvious: such a person will be considered sick and sent for compulsory treatment. However, the veneration of saints in Christianity is not something out of the ordinary, although in essence it is the same. After all, if you think about it, then a person who was elevated to the rank of saints for his great deeds during his life, after death, is torn into small pieces, which are subsequently traded, admired, etc. In the manufacture of many icons, a small amount of relics are laid, and then the believers place these attributes of faith in their homes and apply to them.

If we analyze the current situation of the church and its ministers, we can come to the conclusion that all this is more like a massive brainwashing of believers, which deprives them of the opportunity to think independently, to be creative in solving problems. In other words, it turns people into some kind of servants, ready to meekly perform certain actions.

The zombie process begins with the rite of baptism. During it, a person (baby) is dipped or sprinkled with water, which is the best medium for storing and transferring information and energy. It is not by chance that all conspiracies and spells are carried out by black magicians using liquid. Under the influence of this water, a person loses the opportunity to develop his essence and acquires a herd instinct.

The so-called communion is rather strange. During the sacrament, the believer is invited to taste wine, which symbolizes blood, and bread, which symbolizes flesh. This must be done in order to join the faith. The believer is mentally attuned to the absorption of real flesh and blood during the ceremony, which is cannibalism.

After the process of zombifying the next person is completed, measures are taken to ensure that the connection of the newly-minted zombie with the church is not interrupted for a minute. To bind a person to faith, such attributes as body crosses, the smell of incense, church singing, and the like are used. Even if a believer takes off the cross for a while, then turning his gaze on it again, he will feel the need to put it on. As a result, a strong and inextricable bond between the believer and the church is reestablished.

Our ancestors glorified and venerated their gods by composing hymns of praise, not people or animals were sacrificed, but porridge and kvass. Maybe you should turn to the traditions of your ancestors, and not to the ceremonies of brainwashing, invented by foreign enlighteners?

The last argument that I would like to bring up for reflection is the story of the Czech church. In the town of Kutná Hora there is a Christian shrine, the building material and interior decoration of which are … human bones. The people call this place the Ossuary or the Church on the Bones. Since 1278, the cemetery, located on the territory of the church, became popular with local residents, since one of the local monks brought a pinch of the sacred land for him from Jerusalem. The area of the cemetery grew larger and larger, and after the plague epidemic there were so many corpses that the old skeletons had to be dug up and placed in chapels (ossuary) in order to make room for the new dead.

In 1874, the Emperor ordered the closure of the monastery, and the property that belonged to him was bought by the Schwarzenbergs. The new owners were not thrilled with the layout of the building and the pile of bones located inside it. They commissioned a woodcarver to transform their property, while the owners expressed a desire for the building to be decorated in a Gothic style.

The master decided to use human bones to decorate the building. In order for them to be suitable for work, the bones were cleaned of the remains of human flesh with the help of bleach. Currently, inside the ossuary, you can see the family coat of arms of the customers, a huge chandelier, in the manufacture of which the master used all types of human bones, small ornaments and large flowerpots. Unused bones are stored in the same room, they are stacked in pyramids in the corners of the room.

On the wall to the right of the entrance to the church, the author of all the named masterpieces left his autograph, which is also made of human bones. In the Czech Republic, there was a fairly large number of ossuary intended for storing human bones, but the ossuary in Kutná Hora differs from the rest by its "unusual" design. Most of all, outraged by the fact that in the Christian world this structure is perceived as a completely normal phenomenon that may interest tourists, but in no case is it considered a manifestation of blasphemy.
