A guy asked me that in work today- like wtf! Lent was my reply!
I asked him how Ramadan was going for him

the groutch · 20-02-2012 9:23pm

Lent is for weak-willed people who need a specific date to try giving up stuff and fail miserably, and will usually pick the same stuff they made New Year's resolutions about

20-02-2012 9:23pm

Nothing.

I ain't no quitter.

EGAR · 20-02-2012 9:23pm

Ramadan. Sounds like the name of a gay nightclub.

I gave up giving things up for Lent years ago.

Partly because I'm not religious, but partly because it's usually counter-productive. If you give something up completely for a few weeks, you're more likely to overdo it after (or on Patrick's Day if you allow yourself to take that day off).
It's like going on a crash diet, then breaking and binging.

If you're eating too much unhealthy food or drinking too much, you don't need to give them up completely (unless you think you're an alcoholic).
Just cut down on them for the whole year, but still allow yourself to enjoy them.

Also, if you're cutting something that's bad for you out of your life, what good will it do you if you do it for 40 days out of 365/366?
It would seem much more sensible to me to have a forty-day period of complete indulgence, with moderation the rest of the time.

I'm cherry-picking the good parts of lent, I'll eat loads of pancakes tomorrow and I'll have some easter eggs whenever you're supposed to and then I'll wait till next year to do it again

biko · 20-02-2012 9:27pm

Nothing.

im invisible · 20-02-2012 9:27pm

Cigaretes and alcohol and rollerblading

Ledger · 20-02-2012 9:28pm

I don't believe in it.

I don't give up anything for it.

My housemate is using Lent as a reason to diet so she's giving up carbohydrates.

smokedeels · 20-02-2012 9:41pm

If the warnings on the packets didn't make me quit, a story about some chap in a desert isn't going to do much. I'm giving up nothing.

lividduck · 20-02-2012 9:42pm

Nothing, I dont believe in all that superstisious nonsense

Irish Guitarist · 20-02-2012 11:05pm

Don't gives a rats arse. ffs lent my eye. I done my fast already, gave up chocolate and drink since Christmas! ha ha ha. Probably go easy on the sweets and crisps for lent otherwise not giving up anything. What's the point I don't go to confession and don't eat fish. I rather a veggie option otherwise eat meat ha ha ha.

I suppose for lent I will give up confession have given it up every year for five years so great to be giving up something each year for lent! Go me.

I'm not a quitter either!

We got it from the Bible !!!!

And the Lord sayeth unto Daniel -- go thee forth into the desert and therein fast for 40 days and 40 nights - and Daniel being a good and faithful servant of the Lord did so. After Daniels great fast, as he came forth from the desert it happened that he came across a wonderous maiden of great beauty, who said unto Daniel - come lie with me - and Daniel being weak from hunger and thirst lay with her. When Daniel came forth from the desert - the Lord was angry with him and said unto Daniel - go thee back into the desert and therein fast for a further 40 days and nights - and Daniel did so. At the end of Daniels second great fast as he came forth from the desert, it happened that he met the same wonderous maiden, who said unto Daniel, knowest dout has lain with me and now I am great with child ---- What steps arth you going to take ? FUXXING GREAT BIG ONES said Daniel departing into the desert for the third time !!!!!!!!!!!
