What's tomorrow??

Ash Wednesday a fast day

All the people who are so proud that they're eating meat tomorrow, who are you socking it to? Most people will be eating meat tomorrow, but won't be thinking about it... if you're thinking a lot about it, are you as detached from the church as you think you are?

No, as part of general tradition of the Catholic faith and in honour of the memory of the vast majority of the excellent & decent Clergy who have devoted their lives to the betterment of the community.

the ones who remain part of an institution that has destroyed the lives of millions of people. that refuses to allow women have equal status encourages homophobia ,bans the use of family planning for the poorest in the world and places the survival of the church above every other consideration.

Personally I'd genuinely never heard of this not eating meat on Ash Wednesday thing until today.

Tomorrow, I'm going to cover myself in ash and then sacrifice a goat on the Hill of Tara while eating a banana.

Oh great, now I have to climb that b*astard of a hill in the dark at this hour and try find my goats so I can bring them down, keep them safe from your sooty-pawed carnivorous cravings.

No but I gave up all meat except fish a few years ago. Before that I wouldn't eat meat on ash weds or good fri- more out of tradition than anything else.

kingshankly · 04-03-2014 11:12PM

As I have said I won't eat meat tomorrow and couldn't care who eats it or not but people going out of their way to eat meat just because it's a fast day is a bit sad

With a name like beefy you probably just heard what you wanted to hear.

They are made from the burned palms from the previous years Palm Sunday - that's what they're supposed to be made from anyway.

To answer the OP I will be eating meat tomorrow probaby as i'm not religious.

In your opinion its pointless. The poster has said that for a number of reasons, they want to fast.
Why are you confused?

Obviously it's my opinion, why do people point this out?
Number of reasons? There was one

in that it was always done.

and confused because eating fish isn't fasting.

rainbow kirby · 05-03-2014 12:20AM

Of course I'll be eating meat tomorrow, my OH made a big pot of chili today and it's always better on the second day

Also, I'm not religious so no justification for *not* eating meat tomorrow.

foxy farmer · 05-03-2014 12:44AM

I supported the fisherman yesterday the pig farmer today and seeing as I have a half pound of mince in fridge I'll support the beef farmer tomorrow by eating 2 fine burgers. More mate as the ould fella used to say.

05-03-2014 12:47AM

No, I won't be eating any meat tomorrow.

RobbingBandit · 05-03-2014 12:50AM

Yes, might even dress up as a priest and order some steak in a nice restaurant.

Just realised I have only eaten fruit and pancakes today, anyone know heavens time zone, I may get away with it.

Pladimir Vutin · 05-03-2014 01:09AM

I will be smoking some mackeral and using the remainder for the cross on my head.

Aongus Von Bismarck · 05-03-2014 02:21AM

I will not be eating meat tomorrow, and I will fast throughout the Lenten period.

Its a solemn time of year for us Catholics. If you want to disrespect that, then go ahead and eat meat, you won't find me complaining.

I have nothing but pity for people who gain some kind of satisfaction in trying to rile up genuinely spiritual people who sacrifice during this time of year.
