Lent

tnrtinr · Feb 17, 2010

Today is Ash Wednesday the official beginning of Lent. Although I am not a Christian I figured it would be a learning experience. So I officially celebrated Fat Tuesday last night as a last hoorah before the fast.

How many of you participate in Lent and how strict are you?

I drank a 12 pack on an empty stomach last night, ended up throwing up in the shower 4 times, scooping it up and carrying it to the toilet. So ya, I probably won't be drinking for 40 days. Does that count?

Oh ya that would have been my move except I did that once this year so I gotta avoid that BS. I was out of it for like 2 FULL days after.

"Lent", I try to respect it however, holding true to it, not always.
But isn't that what its all about -
confess=forgive=repeat

So how does this lent thing work? I was raised dutch reformed, they don't do lent.

ive learnt about lent from the many catholics i know, and honestly i think its the biggest pile of bs. the main point of it is to practice restraint by giving up something you enjoy. im an agnostic who is tolerant of religion, but last year a smacked my friend in the face when he said he gave up smoking for lent. i may have over reacted, but he was just so damn proud of it. most people give up sweets, or some other trivial things. i wonder if a catholic is allowed to give up going to church for lent....

Nope. I tried to pull that as a kid and the parents weren't buying it. :eyesmoke:

The only capacity in which I celebrate it is when they sell those pączkis in the store. Very high quality munchies!
