If you’re trying to unpack and heal from Christian religious trauma, a thing you really need to understand (if you don’t already) is that you were probably misled about Judaism a lot. Christianity generally tries to paint itself as the self-evident successor of Judaism, and one of the ways it does this is by painting Judaism as Christianity Without Jesus.
In reality, Judaism is practiced very differently from Christianity, and Jews have a very different relationship to their Bible than Christians have to theirs. Just about everything you’ll hear about Judaism from Christians is total hogwash - literally, it’s Christian propaganda. Christianity as most of us know it was shaped by the Roman Empire’s political agendas, and that’s a huge reason why it’s the way it is.
Whenever you find yourself in a situation of difficulty that makes you feel foolish and stupid, like if you lose your phone charger or forget an important appointment, or entirely forget when the War of 1812 took place, or beat meringue a little too far past the point of forming stiff peaks, or spill a glass of water in your lap in the precise way so as to make it appear like you peed your pants right as your crush is about to walk past, just think to yourself:
“At least I have the presence of mind not to think that carrots have too much sugar.”
“Unsure what went wrong”
I googled this and like… guys… it’s a carrot cake.
IT’S A CARROT CAKE.
“cake turned out rather nasty” NO SHIT CRISSYBOO86 IT’S BECAUSE YOU USED KALE IN A CARROT CAKE
You can feel the outwardly polite Betty Crocker social media person screaming inside
