If, in any culture, children are taught, 'We are all equally
unworthy in the sight of God' -

"If, in any culture, children are taught, 'You are born in sin
and are sinful by nature' -

"If children are given a message that amounts to 'Don't think,
don't question, believe' -

"If children are given a message that amounts to 'Who are you to
place your mind above that of the priest, the minister, the rabbi?' -

"If children are told, 'If you have value it is not because of anything
you have done or could ever do, it is only because God loves you' -

"If children are told, 'Submission to what you cannot understand
is the beginning of morality' -

"If children are instructed, 'Do not be "willful", self-assertiveness
is the sin of pride' -

"If children are instructed, 'Never think that you belong to yourself' -

"If children are informed, 'In any clash between your judgement and that
of your religious authorities, it is your authorities you must believe', -

"If children are informed, 'Self-sacrifice is the foremost
virtue and the noblest duty' -

"- then consider what will be the likely consequences for the
practice of living consciously, or the practice of self-assertiveness,
or any of the other pillars of healthy self-esteem."

A few galleons?

I've heard that it's r'lyeh good...

Of course, if you hadn't actually mentioned R'leyh in your posting, my pun would have been cleverer.

Yeah, well, the thing is Cthocolate is really popular, because noone wants to order Hastur Chip at the ice cream stores.

Little do you fools know what you have found, but you shall have dark eons to regret your foolish confections! As the strange forms crystallize in your freezer, you shall shudder as pretentious modifiers and inhuman descriptors gather about you, while the foreshadowing shall spread across your kitchen and beyond...

I tried to work Nyarlathotep into this, but it didn't work.

Be careful, though, because in the dream lands I bet you ice cream is warm ...
