Happy Father's Day to any dads in here. I made donuts again, no cronuts this time. Too much work, but I did melt down a comically oversized toblerone triangle my wife got me and use it as a glaze. Next weekend I'm making salads for breakfast or something...

mindphlux posted:if by therapy you mean having good friends to talk to, then ok Heh. I'm probably one of those people that should be in proper therapy as I'm pretty self destructive and physically moved away from any good friends through no choice of mine own but for financial reasons. But in saying that, talking about my lovely situation, vocalizing the fact that my future is destined to be a life of mediocrity out loud to even a therapist would destroy me mentally. I only wake up each day because denial gives me the strength to carry on. Speaking about it would turn depression into a breakdown where sharps would have to be kept locked away from me. I'll take rivers in Egypt, Alex. edit: Also I will say when being hosed up and have nothing to do except drink, don't decide to spend some time reading history, when suicide was so de rigueur Fo3 fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jun 16, 2013 |

You'd be surprised at the value of having someone around whose job it is to make your life better and only has to tolerate you for an hour a week.

Or is it just "shape like donut, fry like donut"

So horrible. I have kind of mixed feelings on the fact that nobody sitting at the restaurant intervened... It's nobody's business but their own that they're fighting, but in my opinion it certainly becomes other peoples' business when someone's doing something so obviously, horrifically wrong and unacceptable out in public, like grabbing your wife's throat FOUR SEPARATE TIMES in a single outing. It almost certainly wouldn't have helped the situation to have some kneejerk-angry feminist like me come over and yell at the guy though. What a piece of human garbage, ugh. Mr. Wiggles posted:Eh, I have a priest. I'm super curious about how that works for you.

Mr. Wiggles posted:What about it? It's fantastic. I'm a really skeptical antitheist and really shouldn't/don't want to open a  but my major, specific concern would be how a priest could help me cope with an abortion without shaming me into thinking I'm a babykiller. Or really anything that went against my religion that saves lives like organ donation. This is absolutely me projecting my fears onto the catholic church though and not in any way actual experiences of mine.edit: vvvv Yeah I'm definitely projecting/overthinking various hypocrisies and other flat-out wrong stuff about religion in general but there's nothing really drawing me to any religions either. I dig what the most recent pope said recently about how people should just be good and do good to get into heaven, but then the church itself went and contradicted him so that was pretty disappointing. I've always kind of questioned why people would need incentive to be good people, too. Clavietika fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Jun 17, 2013 |

Clavietika posted:I guess my biggest general worry would be that he wouldn't have an answer as to why I shouldn't be doing something apart from "You'll go to hell if you do." as opposed to actually looking at my problems and having a solid, thoughtful answer like a therapist would. As a woman, most organized religion also kind of intimidates me. Having a priest that disagreed with divorce (Til death) would be extremely problematic and claustrophobic for me too. I think a lot of priests have counselling degrees of sorts nowadays though, so that helps. Most religion isn't like that

Not even most Catholicism is like that. Granted, there are some lovely priests, but I've found for the most part they're pretty fantastic. My current priest practiced family law in Colombia until coming to the states in the 80s, so he's got a cool perspective on that - the priest before was a major time liberation theologist advocate for the underclass and women's rights. But even the super conservative priests I know are much more "I'm not here to judge you, I'm here to listen to you and if you feel like you did wrong, forgive you so that you can sleep soundly about it." There's no scarlet letters or crazy pennances or anything, because it's not the point. There is also good food and lots of wine.

Well that's pretty awesome.  I've only really had bad experiences with judgmental catholics (My boyfriend's grandfather literally said to him once, "Get behind me, Satan!" but he's a worse antitheist than I am so it was almost certainly provoked  That's actually a hilarious story. His grandfather was saying he and his Knights of Columbus buddies could use his pain pills to knock my partner out and take him for a new education, and my partner was basically like "Good freaking luck!" And it went from there) and my weird youth pastor cousin and his wife's anti-choice facebook postings. This friend of mine from high school's dad was a priest, but I think knowing him at arms' length would have been a fine relationship because at face value he was just a Harry Potter-depriving wang. To each their own though, and thanks very much for the insight! I'm sorry if my ignorance came off as insulting whatsoever.

I was raised catholic, and our parish priest was a cool guy. Volunteer fireman. Eventually left the order and married a woman. I was an agnostic (according to the common definition) from age 8 to about 20. I am now an atheist because I'm a grownup. Every time wiggles posts about catholicism I have to suppress the urge to troll.

From my experience, the practitioners are generally more intolerant than the priests. The priest who is going to be officiating my wedding is independent because more and more of the churches in my area are being exposed as corrupt. He left, citing political reasons, and explained that most priests are good hearted, kind, and understanding. It's the higher-ups that start to give Catholicism a bad name to the general population. I've seen someone thrown out by their parents for religious reasons only to be helped by a local priest. As much as I don't agree with some of the philosophies, for the most part priests become priest because they want to help people.

The best advice I ever received was from my grandad who said, `You must gather your party before venturing forth. You must gather your party before venturing forth. You must gather your party before venturing forth.' No, wait that wasn't grandpa that was a video game. I still think it's pretty good advice though.
