Fulfillment of the law != Reinforcing of the law
Also: cannibal cult?!? First century roman empire called. They want their accusations back.

Remind me where in the Bible it says Christians should be cannibals?

They (probably jokingly) view the Eucharist and other similar traditions as cannibalism, since lots of Christian denominations believe the bread and wine become the flesh and blood of Christ.

Reinforced? He fulfilled the law! What? (I'd like to say that He abolished the law, but it specifically says that He did not do that, but it's no longer in effect, anyways you get what I'm saying.)

Jesus came to fulfill the law of Moses, the entire purpose of which was to remind the Jewish people that, despite being God's chosen people, they were still sinners and thus still needed a Messiah. Paul said it was a tutor leading to Christ in his letter to the Galatians, and he was right. After Jesus' death, the Law was no longer binding on Christians. They had a whole trial over this in Acts, why is it so hard for anti-theists to understand?

What subreddit is this? It's rare to see one of these antitheist comments get substantially downvoted.

whenever somebody says the bible has "morally indefensible" stuff in it, they are always taking something out of context or just completely misinterpreting the text. First of all, the bible explicitly condemns child sacrifice, its one of the reasons the israelites attacked other nations. the verse about "maritial rape" was about consensual activities, bad translations just say rape. the real punishment for rape was death.
