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

Quote from: 8manpick on February 27, 2012, 12:04:00 AMIf 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.

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.
Sorry really good friend IRL dlew, the tradition is stupid..., nothing personal
