Ash Wednesday

kfallon

Will anyone be abstaining from meat on Wednesday, just curious to know if this is still upheld by AH posters!

Kiera

Depends what kind of meat is on offer

I've been abstaining from the stuff for 13 years, but I might grab a Big Mac on Wednesday just to test God's wrath.

You won't even need to cook it, God's mighty bolt of Thunder will flame grill your meat-cocktail and you along with it.

Maybe I should eat meat this Wednesday, its pretty much the last Catholic thing that I still follow, well because its more of a tradition as oppossed to any religious habbit for me.

That being said, I can live without having meat for 2 days of the year and as long as the fish being cooked is tasty, I won't mind.

ofcourse ill be eating meat, it's just another day

I used to do it until about 3 years ago and then I thought, "I don't even go to mass, why am I carrying on with this?" and I made the biggest ham sandwich ever.....the guilt made it taste better

When i was young there was know way you could eat meat on ash wednesday, you be crucified :-),and you also had to make sure ya got your ashes on your forehead,the way berti used to have them.

jester77

I thought Ash Wednesday was the day for not smoking and that good Friday was day for not eating meat Must dust off that old bible again and see what the rules say, can't be getting it wrong as every day is a day closer to reincarnation!

Not a catholic so no

bleg

Dental Plan!

Rob113

What about the ashes? Are people still getting them? It does be like Sean of the dead around this way with all the coffin dodgers shuffling around drooling caked in ash.

im going to go into the nuns on whitefriar street on wednesday and order a lovely meat sammich. if they refuse ill sue them for religious discrimination

I'm off the meat, but it's more of a thing of looking at the belly and saying "I need a good excuse to exercise" so.....there.

I'm also holding it as a good excuse to go on a food binge tomorrow. PIZZACHINESEMCDONALDSSUPERMACSOMNOMNIOMNOMNOMNOM

Still OP, are you trolling for some Christian to come in and give theological reasons why they're doing it, while also giving people the excuse to say something on the lines of "I won't cos there's no God."

If that's the case, go faceplant into concrete. :cool:
At least can you edit the responses so that I don't have to call myself a darwin-denying bible-basher for not wanting to eat meat?

I'm not going to eat meat on Ash Wednesday. Only because I'll be having pancakes all day BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PANCAKE TUESDAY, YOU CAN EAT THEM ANY DAY YOU DAMN WELL WANT TO!

I wasn't even aware it was Ash wednesday this week. I did however know pancake tuesday was tomorrow because they're delicious and I'm hoping someone will make me some.

I won't be eating meat, I guess it's the one catholic tradition I'm still clinging to

See, thats all it is. No biblical foundation for it. Its about as relevant as purgatory or transsubstantiation.

rossie1977

i always found this one of the most ridiculous catholic traditions, don't eat meat but fill up on fish :rolleyes:

if you are going to fast do it properly, like NO food for 24hrs

I remember my father getting visibly angry that the canteen at college served meat on Ash Wednesday. As if everyone in my college was a Catholic, or gave a flying **** that it was Ash Wednesday

Won't make a blind bit of difference to me.

It's your fault I couldn't have burgers to eat on Ash Wednesday when I was a kid, had to make do with boiled eggs.....I hate you :pac:

Tho having said that I did love you again for the Easter Eggs, the presents at Xmas and the days off school for a 'Holy Day'

I suppose when I think about it, you're not a bad ould trout Jesus!
