Do you ever have annecdotes that you try to tell people, but about half way through you realize that this story is far less interesting than you thought it was?

See, I grew up in a primarily Protestant area, so I was in High School before I ever heard about Lenten. We only had a few Catholics in town, and they were pretty much treated like most of you would treat a Satanist if they moved into your neighborhood. You'd wave and smile if they said hello, but you'd always be looking at them with a certain amount of suspicion. I can't explain why, it was just the way they were back then, I guess.
The strange thing is, I learned about Lenten from a Hovie, not a Catholic.

Eh I probably will take some heat for this
someone will think im tin foil hat crazy but ok fine
I don't feel catholicism is really all that christian
Considering the other forms of Christianity arose FROM it I don't see how that's possible.
Not Really
Catholicism is short for Roman Catholicism and all Catholicism is, is the repacked religion of the Roman empire. Garments and pointy hats to entice the rich and saints in place of pagan lesser known deities.

We'll report back to the mother thread if we fail or tell disgusting stories on how we resisted God's will.
Obviously the honor system will be in place for most of us.
I guess it won't take that long...gah. I don't know what to give up!
I just had one of those moments.
I don't know what to give up either.
i also need to find a new church.
Christians are all dee dee dee
Non-Christians are all lilelolelu
But if that fails (likely), I'll give up chocolate milk.

You just say Lent.

LIKE I GIVE A FUCK.
It's a bullshit holiday made up by one of the Popes whose brother-in-law was a fucking fish-monger anyway.
LOOK IT UP PEOPLE.
Well probably most of it came from Pagans.
Yes I capitalized Pagans.
I always thought it was kind of odd to celebrate Jesus with eggs and bunnies.
And that time I crucified that bunny to a big, wooden egg? They didn't really go for that.
Stupid Baptists.
They are not that itchy
