Thank you for contributing to the forum. I never use butter substitutes and am sure God is helping you towards The Truth; perhaps He's guiding you to consider Rachel's and Leah's struggles to impress their owner? The passage may be meaningless to you, since you've rejected God's very first commandment right there on Creation Day Six Genesis 1:28 but I'll include it anyway:
Genesis 30:7-9 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. When Leah [the sister] saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
Persisting in a false religion, and yours is top of the list in
O.P., suggests that like Jacob, and his wives, you too are wrestling. With cognitive dissonance whenever you read The Bible and see condemned everything you do or teach or think or say in support of Romish dogma.
You mentioned bonkers. I've never had such thoughts myself since accepting Him and acknowledging the facts of scriptural reliability you understand; even so, have you considered going to Ur next week to commune with Frank? Heretics will be on tap even more than usual and you may well hear something opening your mind to the charade called Rome.
Prayerfully,
