Title: Lent 2011
Post by: Camerus on March 09, 2011, 09:09:08 AM
Lent begins today.  Obviously, some people will be giving something up, whether it be for reasons of religion, self-discipline, health, personal challenge, etc. 

Anyone here planning on giving anything up for the next 40 days?

I will give up:  alcohol

Or perhaps you plan to engage in an orgy of indulgence and hedonism, in rebellion to any and all of the above.  Feel free to share that too. 

And if you plan to do nothing at all, at least post some pr0n or something.

Silly Catholics. There is no rebellion when you pound two chicks.

Did you know that Lent is a total of 46 days long but you get Sundays off from "fasting"? So whatever you idiots are giving up, you can indulge on Sundays.

Not Catholic anymore, but I still try to give up something every year. I think this year I will give up soda. I thought about alcohol, but decided against it when I realized that Easter was after a huge party.. not before. So soda it is.

Sodas, chocolate, and most difficult: fast food.  Baby Jesus will be proud.

Logical fallacy. Lent -> unbalanced doesn't mean unbalanced -> Lent. :contract:

Since Lent leads up to Easter, shouldn't it be Zombie Jesus?

"Most followers of Western Christianity observe Lent beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding on Holy Saturday. The six Sundays in this period are not counted because each one represents a "mini-Easter," a celebration of Jesus' victory over sin and death."
