Lent is dumb.

The only good thing about it is that so many places serve fish that didn't before and I rough ridin' love fish sandwiches at bars and stuff.

Condiments on your food.

Is salt a condiment!?! I don't know, that's going to be a personal choice for you. What about cheese? Well, if you put cheese on your hamburger, I'd say yes, but on a cheeseburger, that's just part of the dish.

Dlew12 butthurt from last year's lent thread:
Lent is dumb.  Fixed.
I think it has its merits.

Jesus fasted for forty days in the desert....giving up soda in an attempt to victoriously live through his sacrifice is a slap in the face.
I'm not pretending that my sacrifice is at all similar, but it serves as a reminder.  In fact, here we are discussing it.

Sorry bro, I see this is a soft spot for you.  This should cheer you up

 :emawkid:
If you are giving up something because it is bad for you and you would rather not do it, I think it is silly to need an outside reason to do so, have some self-control.  If you are just giving up something for the sake of giving it up in some sort of sacrificial sense, why bother?
I'm not going to let this devolve into an internet theology discussion because those are just the worst, but it is supposed to be sacrificial.  We bother because it's part of our religion and it's important to us.

Also, for what it's worth, I completely understand why people think it's stupid.


I'm just explaining what it is because I recognize that from the outside looking in, it looks really stupid and doesn't make any sense.

it doesn't look stupid to people from the outside.  it's an attractive tradition.  i do find the people that give up incredibly minor things to be farcical, but that's them, not the tradition.

Yes. This is what triggers the mockery. My bro in law is some Middle East orthodox variety and basically goes vegan for 40 days. It's kind of impressive.

Could have also gone in the FB thread, but she wasn't from my "hometown" so I'll post it here.

Quote
For lent, I am giving up caring about people who don't truly care about me or my son. I have an amazing, loving, caring, smart, funny, inquisitive, handsome little boy who is loving and kind to everyone he meets. I am done trying to make contact to keep people in his life. Or caring what these people say about me. I am a single mom, and a good one at that who is successful and supports her son alone. I have no respect for people or family that don't take care of their own, or encourage and support someone who doesn't care and support their own child. You are not a good person or a good woman if you stand by someone who isn't a good father or friend or aunt or uncle or grandparent or teacher or friend, whatever the role is in life. Or if you bash the person who is doing everything in their power to give a child the best life they can. The end :)

I don't understand people who just hate any particular religion and express it at every given opportunity.  I understand hating the dumbshits in a particular religion, but I don't think every person should be looked upon in the same light as the lowest of their group.

(not talking about you, 8mp.)

i despise catholicism because i am lutheran.

To clarify, I don't think Lent is stupid because I think think Catholicism is stupid. I think it is really childish and trite to give up drinking pop or social media or (insert whatever else you are giving up) and eating meat (other than fish) for 6 Fridays in some sort of tribute to the man who you believe gave his life for your eternal salvation.

And I dont disagree with that. The comment was more towards people like EllRobersonIsInnocent who say like PRIESTS RAPE LITTLE BUTTHOLES HUR HUR HURRRR  every time the word "catholic" is posted.

That's not really what it's about... You aren't doing it as a tribute. The idea is to give yourself a daily reminder. For example, in the times when you'd normally be on social media, maybe you call your mom or say a few prayers.

For the catholic church, yes, believers no. I can't hate or dislike you for your beliefs, you have that freedom.

i think any criticism of people making a big deal about not drinking a coke or crushing a snickers for a month is entirely warranted and justified. lent is supposed to be spiritually enriching, not attention getting.

i know a lot of people who sacrifice for lent by doing something i.e. volunteer work..

i like it.

Yeah this is probably why so many people despise lent/catholics.  I am guilty of it myself.  Don't let your left hand know what the right hand is doing and stuff.

This is why German monks are badass at brewing beer. The fast only applied to food, so they would drink 5 litres of booze a day during fasts and 6 on big days like Easter.
