so i havent been one for the catholic faith since i was 8 but its everywhere i go. my common law husband and i decided to raise our boys catholic (well i really had no say in it) i am not catholic and havent been since 11 yrs of age. so this is what bugs the hell out of me... lent. this is the dumbest thing i think i have ever heard of... omg how it pisses me off more then straight ppl at a gay bar. i dont believe that one should sacrifice anything for 40 days just to "honor" a man who did it for us. number 1 i bet he didnt have a choice in it if it really did happen. the bible is a man made book, man wrote the bible and put in what they thought was a good idea at the time. i dont know why ppl put so much stock into it. well its not soo much lent in and of it self, and its good way to teach kids of sacrificing something for someone else and yada yada yada. but its the ppl who arent the best catholics in the world who are so about giving up for lent. its the men and women who have sex for fun and lie and cheat on their significant others, and constantly go against the sacrament and commandments. this annoys the hell out me. its those same ppl who burned witch's at the stake. why cant ppl just get over this??? believe me its those who have the most skeletons in their closet that try and make up for it during this 40 day trail of survival of not having _____ (<~ put whatever you gave up there). its their best way to repent for their sins.
*** remember this is just my opinion you dont have to agree with it***
