start of Easter today, I'm catholic, it always surprised me how some non-Catholics would also use the season to either abstain from something or try to better themselves in some way. do any of you do this?
Ash Wednesday

No broccoli whatsoever for me, during Lent. It's a struggle.
Cool, but right now we're talking about Religion. Is the Catholic doctrine opaque as to it’s stance on abortion?
sometimes in life we have to admit things, this is one of those situations. I have no idea wtf opaque means.
I am absolutely 100% giving up for Lent my very bad and expensive habit of throwing my remote control during IU basketball games.
Maybe I will do a reverse lent. What's a somewhat harmless bad habit that I can pick up for 40 days?
cigarettes are delicious and easy to quit.
My Church is Congregationalist Baptist, Conservative (150 years old.)
I personally observe Lent, as a test to my faith and commitment.
Last year I gave up alcohol.
This year, alcohol again.
thought Baptist didn't drink anyway? wife made me go to a Baptist wedding one time I said why is at 1:30 these people must be some serious partiers. by 3 everyone under 75 was gone. or hanging out in the parking lot
At lunch today it occurs to me a lot of people probably only survive lent because of the inventions of deep frying and beer battering.
only time I don't like fish is lent Fridays. the fast-food fish sandwich has yet to be mastered. when McDonalds is at the top of the market in anything you know it's bad, the local long john silver's looks like it's about to collapse and the methheads working in there probably wouldn't notice.
McDonald's fries are a gift from the gods. Don't you blasphemy McDonald's fries.
going to have to try that. everything else they have is good by fast food standards.
