Not even redtube?
just an fyi for you holy rollers.
Not even redtube?
Redtube sucks.
no dude.... double redtube now...
You don't always have to give something up for lent. You can add something too, whatever brings you closer to said being. I prayed daily last lent. I haven't decided what I'm doing yet this year.
SequShort should give up posting for lent.
lent. It always ed up the Friday menu at my usually uber-awesome Catholic high school's cafeteria.
Why? Was the fish from the Great Salt Lake or something?
Lent is just another bull day just like Valentines.
Nah, we had this kick ass cafeteria with these awesome cheeseburgers, taquitos and overtly phallic sausage sammiches. No meat on fridays during lent, which meant I had to eat grilled f'ing cheese or cheese pizza. And not being Catholic, that's about all I know about lent; it deprived me 4 times a year from eating junk food.
How about NOTHING??
Seriously.
Try doing nothing for lent.
see what happens. I'll give you a hint......... doing nothing on lent is going to make no difference in your life. Im being serious and not condesceding. If there is a "being" out there (and thats a big IF), he/she/it doesnt care one way or the other about a day MAN created as a holdiay.
I dont want to turn this in to another "God" thread, but I have never..... NEVER... celebrated Lent. , I havnt been to a church for 18 years. My life is better than ever. I make more money than most, have my own house thats paid off, 3 vehicles and have no major (or even minor) problems in my life. How do you explain that if I dont believe in any religion? I dont ever question peoples beliefs, my beef is that those that DO believe keep trying to push it on to me. Lent is just another "Advertisement" trying to get people to play into the hands of man controlling man through fear.
If religion (ANY religion) was so great, why would they have to advertise it so much?
If working at West Telemarketing was so great, why do they always advertise their commercials so much?
Its the same . If it was so great, shouldnt the "product" sell its self?

I'm giving up photography.
You'll learn soon enough how serious I can be.
Aww Chump!
Mouse,
For one that believes so much in government conspiracy theories, I'd think you would realize what the church is really about. The oldest government in human history.
damn phyzik, you have alot of hate built man..
what do you do anyway?
lent's not a day.
And balli just be happy the church got rid of the whole no meat on every friday of every week of the year. the your menu would have been ed weekly
Actually, I dont "hate" anything as far as religions is concerned, it just annoys me that its considered OK for "God Fearing" people to push thier beliefs on others because of what some book says.damn phyzik, you have alot of hate built man..
what do you do anyway?
People always think Im an athiest, and thats not the case at all. I believe in something out there but I also believe that organised religion is wrong, its just a glorified cult. My relationship with whatever is out there is personal and I just dont believe that rules created by MAN should define what I do or what I dont do.
As far as what I do for a living, Im a computer technician working at Southwest Reasearch Ins ute in the Aeronautical division. that includes NASA and the Air Force. I see alot of that I cant talk about. I get paid good money for my services and my silence.
For instance, I knew what happened to the Space Ship Columbia YEARS before it was announced on TV. (what was it, 2 or 3 years before they officially announced their findings?)

I meant the day Lent started, I guess I should have qualified that. none-the-less, your right.
So did I. It blew up.
I meant what caused the explosion. They still, to this day, are testing that in a building on campus. They fire floam blocks at metal pieces at different angles to see if they can improve on the rocket and shuttle design. Its pretty interesting to see how much damage that can cause.
i knew it was those ing aliens. Somebody call will smith he can save us all

ok, great Phyz.
I don't go to church, but I can see the benefit that it brings to many. I was raised an altar boy in the catholic church, so I can pretty much recite a mass without a book backwards and forwards...due to some personal issues and losses in my life, I find it hard to walk in a church and praise anything, not when I see my best friend's kids without their father forever...
I have friends that are catholics, lutherans, nondenominational, etc. Not once have they pushed something on me. I don't have a problem with what they do on Sunday. Don't care. I worry about what I do and my family does. My wife and kids go to a nondenominational church called brcc. I went once and I go everytime my daughter sings. It is actually wonderful and a great experience. They don't push the God stuff, they push motivation, happiness, believing in each other, family, what is good in life, etc. Not bad at all... I don't think religion is made out to be a cult but a faith that individuals have whether Jesus is black, white or asian.. It's good stuff.
Ohh, Im not doubting it helps people. Some people need direction in life, and thats not a knock on those people. Some of my family is very religious. Im not talking about individual friends though. Just pay attention to your TV, or , even our own Presidents. Its always being pushed on us.
Seriously, and Im playing devils advocate here, what makes Christianity so much greater than Scientology (which I think are way ing wacko) or any other religion? What happened if the Aztecs where still alive and we had a religion of people that believed in the Sun god? Are they wrong?
My point is that its all rediculous if you really look at organised religion. Its all man made. I just think it should be a personal relationship. All organized religion does is cause wars.
