dumb religious customs. That's one of them. If you don't give up anything for Lent are you going to rot in hell for eternity?
Not every religious ritual is the difference between heaven and hell. Most Christian sects do not treat avoidance of sin or undertaking positive acts (religious or not) as simply bartering for salvation; rather you seek to do these things to glorify your Maker.

So, how does giving up, say, eating potato chip glorify your maker. Is God going to give you a thumbs up at judgement day for the chips?

Mocking the piety of others doesn't make you clever, it makes you a dickhead.

That’s funny, because, I think the people who constantly bitch about having to give something up for lent, look down on people who dont celebrate it or are not religious because they consider themselves so pious are just as big a dickhead, possibly even more.
Don't worry, they'll tell you. Every chance they get.
Yeah, well if there's one thing we know, it's that religious people always keep their religion to themselves...
Hehe - Religious people like to brag that they have an in with the man upstairs when it's all said and done. Non-religious people like to brag that they're not insane. Been going on for quite some time.

I’m not a religious person. But I don’t see the problem with individuals being religious as long as they don’t throw it in my face. Which the vast majority do not. You lump all religious people in with one broad stroke about being insane. That type of commentary is uncalled for on here Taking shots at religious people during one of their most celebrated times of year is a dick thing to do.
But it has to be littered with people who need to flaunt their rejection of religion, or just challenge the beliefs of others just to stir up shit.
If you don’t understand Lent and want to, ask a question. If you think Lent is stupid and you just want to mock people for giving up potato chips to get into Heaven, maybe click on another thread. Having faith is not the failure of an IQ Test.
I just think a lot of the rituals are pretty stupid. Remember the "can't eat meat on Friday" rule? Even the Catholics eventually agreed that it was stupid.
All religions have stupid rituals. Is everybody that eats a burger going to be reincarnated as a homeless person or just if you're a Hindu?

So what if you think they are stupid? Coming on to a thread about a religious belief that many people follow and calling it stupid is uncalled for. You don't have to click the thread or participate.
Agreed.
know what you mean. Gotta pay the bills.
Thank you, ladies and gents...I'm here all day.
I laughed.

Did you go back to pizza after Lent was over?
Maybe a hobby of some sort :)

I gave it up 27 years ago when they wanted 4K to annul my first marriage so I could get married to my current wife.

Not eating potato chips is piety?

And I am not even slightly religious.
LOL. I'd rather give up a hand.
