But your not Christian. You'd be missing the point of Lent.

The idea and practice of Lent is Christian. If you are only doing it for the food, it's not Lent... it's just a diet. Lent involves prayer, worship and almsgiving. If you aren't doing any of those than you are not practicing Lent, you going on a diet of no junk food.

Indeed. As a matter of fact, the idea of "giving something up" for lent actually only came into practice as a way to teach children about the ideas of fasting and acts of penance—the traditional aspects of the season—as young children shouldn't fast, and are not asked to perform penance.

Lent also involves not eating meat for 40 days from Palm Sunday to the Holy Saturday, which means it's not just about giving something up like junk food. Lent is a very sacred practice that involves many Christian traditions.

Dude. Freddy.

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday—the day after Fat Tuesday (or Mardi Gras for you heathens Wink ), the last feast before the fast—and ends on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter) unless you're Eastern Orthodox, in which case, Lent ends on Palm Sunday—the Sunday directly before Easter. Palm Sunday being the day Jesus entered Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, palms laid at his feet by the people of the city—the traditional welcome for a king.

And the ban on meat (and other animal products) has been significantly relaxed since the Middle Ages, and is now traditionally only observed on Fridays during the season unless you're a truly orthodox practitioner.

*laughs*
And that concludes our Catechism class for the day. Have a great week everybody and I'll see you again next Sunday.

Oh whatever. I used to my religions holidays like the back of my hand. I stopped giving a fuck after I picked up a book on Darwinism. Wink However, I raised for a brief moment of my life to not eat meat during those 40 days... but I could eat fish. Go figure.

Laughing-satan No lie, right? Years of Catholic school literally cements that shit to your brain. For real. And if you like Darwin, have you read Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex? Really interesting read—all about our DNA's desire to survive being the drive for everything we do. Darwinism on the cellular level. Very cool.

And seriously... What's the deal with the fish? It makes NONE sense. None.

Catholic school crams that shit down your throat and won't stop even though you are gagging and grasping for air. I rad parts of Sperm Wars. Very interesting stuff indeed. Ever since I grew a profound interest in science, I became a realist and now I don't believe in God. I'm agnostic or deist if you prefer.

Probably more agnostic than deist, right? It's a really good way to recover from Catholic school. Wink

Last thing I hate: a couple (4 or 5) glasses of Guinness and a few (5 or 6) glasses of green Margaritas. Wink
