NFT: Giving anything up for Lent?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 2/26/2020 12:54 pm
Last year I did pizza, which was a bear. This year I'm giving up meat, which sucks as someone who loves hamburgers.

You giving anything up?

I'm an atheist, but my wife is a Catholic so while I don't worship Jesus, I do worship her. Solidarity!

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 why the need to let people know that you think their religious customs are stupid? Do you think you somehow opened their eyes or improved their lives? Or do you just feel better by shitting on someone who is different than you?
I just asked a question

Why can't you come up with a logical reason why giving up your potato chips (or whatever) for Lent has any religious significance. It's because there is none.

If you can't take people having the opposite point of view than you, then don't start threads.

If members didn't post any topics you opposed, you wouldn't own a single post to your name on here. Lol.

The purpose of giving something up isn’t about the thing you give up. It’s about showing restraint and conviction. Exercising strong will power. In a religious setting it is important to show this restraint.

Why can’t you show me a reason why I should believe you’re sincere in your line of questioning and your derogatory comments about other people’s faith? You think you’re funny and clever. You’re not. You’re flippant and pompous.

----> it's funny as fuck to see you call someone else out like that when I saw you get in some dipshit dumbass pissing match that's totally in the same vein of this around, like, a couple weeks ago maybe? idk, the only reason it stuck out to me is bc you have a similar username to someone else with Route 9 and I didn't remember him being such a "lol i'm an edgelord but i'm not11!1"

You're a pot calling a kettle black because I've recently, not sure how long ago, saw you get into some petty little pissing match in some other thread about something far dumber than this.

No. That right there is a false premise.

That was just some Uptown Girl who keeps coming after me for unprovoked reasons. Hey, whatever. I'm not afraid to drop the gloves and get into some battles. It's a jungle on here and I've understood that for years.

As for that other nonsense you said... right.
While I agree with what that guy said but jesus dude

why the fuck would you come on this thread to say that shit. I don't think SFGF was looking for some ridiculous religion debate on this thread, and when you say that you know exactly what you are doing.

I'm not religious, but unprovoked mocking in an effort to boost your own ego? Pathetic.

Good posts Dunedin, Bradshaw, and Mike from Ohio.

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?

I’m giving up texting people first, initiating.

Gotta trim the circle and this is a good way to let it do the work itself.
I am more than happy to give up...
