What are we eating? You might not think I am being serious. Hamburger, radish, carrot, apple, steak. Seems not ok when you stop and consider axiology.
If there is God, then we are eating parts of God.
If there is no God, we are eating parts of a universe that could have easily meshed with our being, or with the very aspects and material that made up our being. If you consider this, then it is like cannibalism. I eat a piece of lettuce, but the lettuce could have come from the same stuff I did. So, like self cannibalism. But then thats what the lettuce does, only backwards. It becomes the same stuff as us.
If you were God, you had better have some magical cornicopia to conjour food. Otherwise you are eating yourself. If you were God, you would also (sickeningly) be making the universe out of yourself. On the other hand, this could be beautiful. Maybe we just live inside of God's body and everything is already as it is supposed to be.
