My Last Supper of November 6th 2023 is lentils and
brown basmati rice seasoned with a couscous spice
mixture (cumin, hungarian paprika - don't use U.S.
"paprika" which is a tasteless red powder, barely
Suitable for use as food coloring), turmeric, ginger,
a tiny, tiny amount of cinnamon, lots of fresh onions,
and, of course, garlic powder which goes in everything
except the chocolate I make from Droste Dutch cocoa
Powder, powdered sugar (easily made by grinding
regular sugar in my coffee grinder), salt, and light
olive oil (cocoa butter is the legit stuff, especially if
you want chocolate that doesn't melt at room
Temperature, but light olive oil tastes divine and works
well as long as you keep the chocolate in the refrigerator
and only take it out to eat it). But back to the last supper
of November 6th 2023 and the lentils and rice which,
Since I'm lazy, makes up about a quarter of the calories
in my diet which is just fine and healthy considering
most of the world runs on legumes and either rice, corn,
or wheat. I used to mostly use beans instead of lentils
But they took so long to cook and I've gotten lazier over
the years and lentils cook even faster than rice so I
switched to mostly lentils until I discovered that you can
put beans in that coffee grinder and you can make bean
Meal that cooks even faster than lentils and is great but
they're not present at the last supper of November 6th
2023 because it's lentils and rice. The last supper of
November 6th 2023 was not attended by the eight cats
Because cats do not recognize lentils and rice as actually
being food. Of course my dog loves it and he's a polite
dog and waits patiently on the floor for his bowl of it so he's
a bona fide attendee. That the cat's are not participating is
A blessed thing since there's no place in the house, even
the ceiling, that cats can't get onto and make a mess of.
So yes, the last supper of November 6th 2023 precludes
a Judas Iscariot-like figure because no cats are present.
I've always thought, along with a zillion other people, that
Judas got a bad rap since Christ made him do it. But
there's a zillion, zillion other people that get crazy and hurt
themselves turning logical handsprings when it comes to
God being both good and evil. But that's the mistake these
people made when they moved over from multiple Greek
gods to an all-powerful singular one. With the Greek gods
if evil happens it's just one of the gods fighting one of the
Others. But with a single god you get sidetracked with that
super-hero/super-villain superimposition. A single god needs
to make red and white striped asparagus appear green. But
never mind all that, it's the last supper of November 6th 2023
And I'm having my last supper of November 6th 2023 savoring
a big bowl of lentils and rice while simultaneously believing
several independently contradictory things (Douglas Adams
reference) which makes the whole damn thing okay.

My lentils and rice looks more like Oliver Twist's workhouse porridge...
But it tastes great, honest to god, it tastes great.
Attendees of The Last Supper:
It is claimed that Mary Magdalene was an apostle and was present at the
last supper. And that she is not listed among the people at the table in
any of the four gospels that name the apostles because mentions of her
as an apostle were systematically expunged in the second and third centuries.
There are also claims of a much older diminution of women. In the times of
the canonization of the Old Testament, the trinity, it is claimed, originally
consisted of the father, the mother, and the son; but was altered, for similar
reasons, to the father, the holy spirit, and the son. The Catholic church, to this day,
has to constantly suppress sects within the church that worship Mother Mary as
an equal to God the Father and God the Son.
These are obviously conspiracy theories propagated by satanic feminist witches.

So much i want to say on this subject, but my favorite theory at the moment is that the marys (maybe just Magdalene) fled to modern day France to escape persecution. If they believed that Jesus was God, they must have recognized Mary as a sort of arc of the covenant to house it for nine months, and if she wasn't perfect before hand she would have been made perfect during conception. The guy who came up with the trinity was declared a saint, but then later had his sainthood redacted for other heresys he preached (could possibly still be a saint). I once posted myself saying a rosary on social media, and I couldn't believe how many people jumped in to tell me it was a demon compelling me to do so and all caps DO NOT PRAY TO MARY!!! With bible quotes, demanding bible quotes from me to justify it, Which kind of made me want to do so even more, prayer as rebellion?. For Christians to sweep her under the rug is ridiculous, I get it, but why wouldn't God have made Joseph give birth, that would have been even more incredible... I could go on

Humans really do take thinking seriously; willing to kill each other over the
tiniest, it seems, details. But one person's tiny is another person's immense.
I remember a physicist who specialized in string theory being denied tenure
because he insisted that 11 dimensions were required instead of 10.
Feel free to go on if you want.

I get excited sometimes talking about my faith, but then I must shut myself down because I also don't like talking About it, but I will add, when he says, 'you can say what you want against the father, but woe to anyone who curses the holy spirit ' or something like that, 'God has been a narcissistic absent father who sometimes beats his kids', but no one can say that about Mary the mother, God is son is holy spirit, holy spirit is saints in heaven, holy spirit is Mary and God and everyone and everything together, Mary is God, just a heresy train, I think I could go on but we're talking about my soul which is already lost. And I don't need to bring anyone down with me, thanks though!

Reading the words of someone who believes they have a soul and then says they think
it's already lost is definitely depressing. Religious writings descibe all sorts of ways to
regain it. So I'd say it's not lost as yet. I'm not sure how you could come to this
conclusion, but I know better than to guess.
I was raised outside of religious belief, but I find the passion compelling and I admire
the ability to possess it. I've always been interested in religion, its great effects
on human society and particularly on singular individuals.
Having been raised in the U.S. South, most of my friends were religious,
or at least felt they had to say so. I truly respected the ones who were sincere,
and I also envied them. Not only for the passion, but for the confidence it gave them.
One of the big disadvantages of being religious, I would think, would be the ability to
believe that one had lost one's soul. My Catholic friends believed that even mortal sins
were forgivable if one was truly repentant. I guess if you're unable to be repentant,
then it might actually be lost. I'm not sure how someone goes about determining this
as you can never be certain what your future self might be capable of.
Of all the Christian gods, I do find Mother Mary the most compelling. And if I was able
to believe, she'd be the one I would pray to as I suspect she would be the most
understanding, the most forgiving.

I was explaining prayer to Mary and the saints and one guy kept saying , 'you are lost, you are lost' I'm just like, 'be a good shepherd come after me!' Saying I'm lost and believing it are different. Doesn't faith come from uncertainty?

Got it, definitely different.
I remember going hiking at about the time when Garmin GPS units were first becoming available.
The people with these expensive (at the time) GPS things (way beyond what I could afford) we're
always grinning and telling other people "you are lost". While this was sometimes not the case for
others, in my case they were always right. I realized something then that I had never been aware of:
When I was hiking I would usually get lost and unlost many times without realizing it.
I wonder if that works the same way with religion?
"Doesn't faith come from uncertainty?"
I thought faith was all about certainty.
That's what I envy about those who have it: Certainty.
