Lent

K, not to seem like a total bitch, but if you're not religious/don't give a shit about Lent, good for you. But seriously... "I'm giving up religion, I'm giving up giving things up", etc. etc. is just incredibly obnoxious, and you're not cute. Lent obviously wasn't made for you, so you really don't have to ridicule the people who actually are serious about trying to better themselves in some way or another, whether it be for the sake of religion or not. It just seems to me like the equivalent of staring in the window of a weight watchers program and eating a Big Mac- you just don't. And for the love of humanity the overused "I'm going to say I'm giving up so-and-so to make me sound like a total rebel" just gets old. I'm sure you could have gone the rest of your life without the pointless redundant satire.

OK I'm done.

 

I like this, but I didn't have the balls to say it.

 

I agree with thevre. If your not religious, and you don't have anything meaningful to say, you don't need to comment. I, myself, am not religious, but lent actually seems like a good holiday to celebrate. Is it a catholic one? I think I'm going to start celebrating it just to better myself. ^^

 

Lent is actually Christian tradition with varying traditions within denominations. I don't think all denominations partake in Lent though.

 

MmMmmm... Lentils.

..oh you mean Lent? I think I'm too selfish to give up some things like intimacy and chocolate... maybe I'll just drive less (and be nice to the atmosphere?)

And honestly to the original poster. I find awesome how you're able to give up things so easily. I wish I could do it more often. ><

 

I said Christian because denominations like Greek Orthodox and Anglicans also have traditions for Lent (which I'm actually unaware of what exactly these are)....Not sure how many others do and how many others don't. That's why I used "Christian"

But really.....I think you confused me :lol:
