by means of ritualistic drinking of blood and eating of flesh......
Just ask old Mel Gibson what turns Christians on--his blood-splattered gore-fest "Passion of The Christ" pandered to their most primitive and cherished sacrificial fantasies, bringing them by the thousands into the cinemas, like moths to a flame. Needless to say, this already wealthy actor/director took many more millions to the bank, laughing all the way...
To which sacrament are you referring, I would assume the "blessed" sacrament in which partakes in the consumption of the "flesh and blood". In which case it is obviously not supposed to be taken literally, as it wasn't even during the last supper. If, sanspeur, you are referring to the sacrifice of Christ, it was not a sacrifice man made. Jesus sacrificed himself to save mankind.
Does any church or church group celebrate "human sacrifice?"
I don't think we could consider the Christ's death as a "human" sacrifice.
I may be wrong, but the Communion Service in most, if not all protestant churches is a celebration of the Last Supper.

Then why do so many Christians believe it actually happened and served a purpose?
If Christians do not believe it was a sacrifice, then that means they do not believe it was required. If they do not believe it was a human sacrifice that means Jesus(PBUH) was not human.
Makes far more sense and shows a truly loving God(swt) if he somehow intervened and stopped it from happening.

I was wondering if a Christian would know what I meant, but you understand what I was talking about...The doctrine is that Christ was sacrificed on the cross to absolve his followers of sin...I believe that is the main tenant of Christian belief, is it not?
The beliefs of most denominations of Christianity hinge upon a single, specific human sacrifice: that of Christ. Christians believe that in order to gain access to paradise in the afterlife each individual person must somehow become a partaker in that all-important human sacrifice for the atonement of their personal sins.

Let me get this straight in my mind.....I think The Christ was the Son of God, therefore, He was NOT HUMAN.
So, you think He really was human??
He was sacrificed for the humans, but he was not a HUMAN sacrifice.
