Since today is the first day of Lent in the Christian world, what are you doing for it? (I'd but this in Religious Debate, but it doesn't seem like a debate topic)

I'm going to exercise regularly, and try to go to church more than once a week.

I thought Lent was a Catholic thing and that you're supposed to give something up?

I really have no idea, but I don't do this "holiday".

All I do is laugh at my friends and eat what they can't during lent.

Horrible karma but w/e.

I'll stick to lesbian porn (no meat). Of course, there will be at least 3 kinds of meat on my pizza.

Oh, yeah. Hmm...

I'll give up on thinking about what I'm going to give up for Lent...

We've just got the Lent newsletter from the Anglican Church. All about how Lent is not so much about giving things up than about improving your relationship with God and strengthening your beliefs. I will try to go to church more often, somehow.

I'm giving up Lent for Lent.

But that means you're observing it, thus breaking your promise, resulting in you not keeping Lent, which results in you keeping your promise, which then goes on to break it...

Don't do Lent. It isn't Biblical.
