Lent

[bttr]

What are you giving up when it comes this year chocolate/sweets/smoking/drinking or are you going to doing something other than giving up .

[Sailor Lunar Eclipse]

Nothing at all! ^ ^
...I don't even truly know what Lent is...XD

[Beast]

Apart from not knowing what "Lent" is, I'm going to give up............My soul!!!! xP Actually, I will probably lay off the energy drinks for awhile *sips on Jolt* XD

[Velvet_Nightmare]

I'm not giving anything up.

[bttr]

You don't have to give something up but what about taking something up.@_@.

[Princess Hoshi]

I'm still thinking about that actually and I know what lent is. Maybe pizza or sweets. Don't worry. I'll live without it. ^^-

[spleeee!]

I'll give up popping my fingers if you consider that something to give up...(heh dots)

[Rageling]

I'm not Catholic, or even Christian, but I still tried to give up jello last year. I made it a week.

[Acnologia]

Nothing, im not religious.

[Sagat]

I'd give up my sanity but that left me long ago.

Aside from that, nothin.

[sasunarubishoujo]

Probably my clinginess and possesiveness towards my best friend.
But someone's got to keep an eye on her, and that someone might as well be me.
Who else is better?

Astericks in the middle or end of words, that then sound like bad words, are treated as such ~ Bean


AAAARRRRRGGGGHHH WHO THE HELL IS THAT A BAD WORD? Im not american so i dont say butt, how the hell am i supposed to talk about that area of the body(or a donkey) if its censord?

[Baka]

I am a Catholic but I don't practice Lent.

At Lent we give up a lot of "me" time for prayer time instead. Last year, we even fasted...I don't remember how long, maybe the whole season. No, we didn't give up eating, we did eat and drink but our food was just soup with a little rice mixed in, and fish. No sweets or soda. That way, there was more time for Him who created all things.

I'm not sure if we're fasting again, no word yet from our Archbishop. He tells us when to start. :) But definitely I'm giving up some time...maybe cut off on space-out time...

[Masali]

Yeah Yeah...Lent, ashes, guilt, beads, removed by Bean, chocolate, and a 2000+ year old tradition that won't die. It doesn't interest me.

[bttr]

I'm not giving anything up yet or taking anything up yet.

Then why reply?

[Bean Bandit]

I'm not giving anything up yet or taking anything up yet.

So your posting for...

Just to raise your post count in my forum with a comment or reply that really is meaningless to the topic, since you have no input for it?

Because the question was "What are you giving up when it comes this year chocolate/sweets/smoking/drinking or are you going to doing something other than giving up ."

Nothing is a perfectly valid answer to that question.

[chappie1989]

I am going to give up ........... can't think of anything.

[pfftlecakes]

I don't celebrate Lent, it's not within my religion. People giving up things to show their love for god isn't really what I think religion should be all about, even if it is just this one holiday.

If you're self indulgent, like myself, do as you please, I suppose. However, every once in a while, I deprive myself of something simply because I have the will to do it and it makes me feel a lot better about indulging the rest of the time. I just don't think religion should dictate this.

[menchia]

I'm just going to give up candy. It's easy to find a way to get some while not breaking the rule, so it does not affect me anyway.

[shinobi dog]

I'm giving up the usual sweets.

[arthas-old]

well the states that one should practise lent if one can...circumstances can make a person avoid lenten commitments..
