Maybe cotto is suffering a double dip recession.

Just one example of cannabalism in today's world. God speaks about how those who go against him fall into such a broken world. It's quite evident in today's society.
When Vishnu reveals the totality of his cosmic form in the eleventh chapter of the Bhagaved Gita, Arjuna cries out: "Rushing through I your fangs into grim mouths, [men] are dangling from heads crushed between your teeth. ... Homage to you. Best of Gods!" (Gita, 102-3) one would have to argue that the cannibalism you put forward could in the same logic you use, be a representation of the divine Krishna.

On what evidence do you attribute cannibalism as something created by your god as a representation of people going against your god, considering the hindu god itself is the representation of cannibalism, of eating itself on top of that?

I'd have to say the hindu's scriptural interpretation seems a little more on topic.

I suppose this means to you Vishnu exists using your same logic?

But hang on, what about other prophesies? I mean, prophesying cannibalism isn't like hard. It has always existed in many societies, I could prophesy that, doesn't mean if I say leprechauns exist they do.

eg : And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 26:4)

So the jews will exist in numbers of around 30 sextillion to a septillion? Or is that in the future at some point?

What about the Nile drying up? or the destruction of Tyre? How about Ezekiel 28:24-26 considering Isreal has never got along with it's neighbours?

I'm sure the quote was "I wink, therefore I yam" i'll see if I can find my copy of "Popeye's Philosophy Handbook" and check up.

Only for Catholics. Considerable blood has been shed by other Christians trying to suppress this belief (and its accompanying ritual).

Nah, Popeye's strong forearm came from wanking, which is hardly the point here, except perhaps in heaven where everyone is happy praising god who says he likes nothing more than to be praised. Perfection.
