I haven't posted. That doesn't mean I haven't been following the thread.

As for the OP I wont be giving anything up for lent because I just don't want to, I do understand why people do participate in lent though and that's their choice and it's not always based on religion regardless of what some seem to think.

being religious does not grant you some sort of hushed respect, I dont demand respect for liking meteorology (even though it would be nice to get it now and then).

I'm not at all religious so certainly will not be giving anything up for lent.

If you're not doing it in the name of religion you're not really doing it for 'lent' are you?

I think believing that one mighty god made everything and that answers all questions and all things rather than believe in the limits of scientific knowledge rather negates your ire?:conf:

Kate! 04-03-2014 01:14 PM

well, this was meant to be a lighthearted thread, I've never given anything up for lent previously, so it's not for any major religious beliefs, just that I had decided to go on a health kick, and the timing coincided.

Really wasn't anticipating people being jumped on for whatever beliefs they hold. :conf:

Crimson Dynamo 04-03-2014 01:14 PM

and noone said it was Pancake Day

Vanessa 04-03-2014 01:16 PM

I'm not good at giving things up. I'd just end up wanting those things more. I'll try to eat more healthily and go for walks when i'm off work. :hugesmile:

I think it's a bit unfair to start calling people trolls for having a view that goes against the norm or that questions a persons belief, what's the point in discussing things on this forum if you can't speak your mind?...

You don't know what I believe other than I believe in God,I have given no details of what my beliefs entail.

Most unhelpful post of the thread so far.

Oh and I will not be telling you that unless you hold my views you will burn in hell for eternity. :devil:


You're a sinful, Godless heathen. I like that about you.
