Humans eating Humans

Ok...so what's the deal with this? Is this our primitive nature or is this the Devil?

Maybe canibals are "born that way"

Lol.

The bible says, if something is not of God, it's of the devil. I believe the bible from front to cover. Eating other human beings is not something God gave permission for us to do, he gave Noah permission to eat meat but it didn't include human mean. Human beings are set apart because we are created in God's image and have a spirit.

3. Cannibalism is mentioned several times in Scripture (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53-57; 2 Kings 6:28-29; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20; 4:10; Ezekiel 5:10), but none of these passages condone it. All of them either predict what will happen if the Israelites forsake God and/or give the fulfillment of those predictions. If the Israelites turn away from God and refuse to repent, God said he would send such judgment that they would wind up so hungry that even the most delicate and tender mother would become a cannibal, eating her own children, keeping it from the other family members so she would have more to eat. If cannibalism were no big deal, why would this be portrayed as the ultimate in desperation and degradation? The thought of families becoming cannibals among themselves is portrayed as it should be—as a wretched and terrible thing. Such treatment is in stark contrast with the way the dead bodies of honorable or innocent people ought to be treated and are treated in Scripture.http://www.gotquestions.org/cannibalism-Bible.html

so they're "born that way"? if you really can be born homosexual, you can be born cannibalistic.

I DO NOT BELIEVE that anyone can be born canabalistic.... How can one be born craving to eat a food that they have never tasted?? IMPOSSIBLE!! 

The food pattern is set within a human being in their early childhood time period.

Some primitive tribes ate people because of their pagan religion. They believed eating the flesh of their enemies would give them power and other non-sense. The question is, why do some people from so-called civilized societies like Jeffrey Dahmer ate people? Is it just mental illness or maybe they do have spiritual problems i.e full of the devil. I think it's both.

I think it's animalistic mental illness, there's obviously something going on in their head that isn't right if they are eating other humans!

I really don't see myself becoming that desperate. I know it's hard to really know what you are capable of in desperate times, but I value life too much to consider eating another human being. I can't even eat meat if I think about the fact it was a living creature.

Now if I was starving to the point of desperation and someone handed me a hunk of meat that was human flesh and I didn't know that's what it was but had a suspicion ......I can honestly say (in that kind of desperation) I might ignore reality and eat it. I would like to think I wouldn't but I just don't know. Hopefully that situation would never really happen to me.
