I’m very sorry about that, but I obviously didn’t know that.

Maybe do a spaghetti cake instead? Got some good results for that.

That’s not wrong.

I don’t think so. If someone made this for me I would certainly at least try it.

This user mac 'n cheesecakes.

You could just put plain cooked macaroni (without cheese sauce) on top of a cheesecake and it would still technically be a Mac 'n Cheesecake. You can even leave the salt out, or cook the pasta in milk and sweeten it with sugar or honey (yes, that’s a thing!).

IDK but I didn’t censor it, it was already like this when I found it.

My guess is that 95% of the reason they have it is just to impress their other rich friends

Well, if you’re gonna be like that I don’t want to talk to you anyways.

I’ve seen that movie… Keanu Reeves was in it.

Yes. It’s a great way to pasta time.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the problem wasn’t much religion telling you these things as the fact that your parents were also clearly broken and/or incompetent, yet continued to persist in pretending that they could somehow fix you.

You definitely go through some stages of brokenness as a child growing up because everything doesn’t necessarily grow at the same rate or the same time, so I don’t think it’s necessarily abusive to be upfront about that. What IS abusive is letting you continue to labor in that state without providing any sort of hope for relief — which the Bible clearly does, but your parents and priests may not have.

Healing from this can only occur when you start putting the blame on the right people and hold those responsible who actually caused the problem. Projecting your issues onto the entire faith or even the concept of religion as a whole is unjust and counterproductive.

There goes my dream of being self sufficient. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I hope you’re happy.

I know, right? I was just playing around with some ideas but this was far too adorable not to share.

Okay, but IF it is the way that it is because God made it that way, what is the use of getting angry about it? Is that not just going to make it worse? Also, wouldn’t you at least rather be informed about it in advance instead of having to puzzle it out yourself over many, many years? That would only make it more agonizing, wouldn’t it.

And have you considered that perhaps the entire story is merely an allegory that describes the internal experience of growing into a fully formed human being, with all the troubles, pitfalls, and vicissitudes that might befall one on the way? And that perhaps the worship of God is ultimately just about learning how to love and respect yourself with all of the flaws and problems you inevitably have?

What if the only lie they told you in church was that God was to be found somewhere out there in the world, and that someone other than you was more capable of communicating with him when He is actually inside of your own head, about two inches from the top, right between your eyes? Would that change your opinion on any of these things or would you continue to be angry about all of it?

I mean… I have seen more elaborate animal dishes on Instagram, but good luck getting the ears to stick
