I have fasted for Lent, being Catholic and all. It works as advertised and strengthens the mind and will to avoid evil in this world and focus oneself on devotion to God.

Ironically I will be fasting on Tuesday for secular reasons but will take the occassion to offer my sacrifice to God.

Good luck with your fast.

I find it so interesting that people who are anti-religion cannot help themselves and have to post in threads like this one even though these threads are obviously not aimed at them.

Sometimes the anti-religion crowd is just as annoying as the evangelic crowd.

Is anti-religion is the new religion?

I don't get it. If you're fasting and posting, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Its not that people are anti religious, its that religion is outdated to cavemen.

They couldnt explain what the big yellow orb was in the sky, so they thought it was some god like entity. This IS the foundation of all religions today.

Science has taught us, that the sun is gases and shit. (i dont know im not a scientist) Kinda makes religion seem somehow... a waste of time.


Religion maintained that Earth was the center of the universe and jumped up and down when proved otherwise.

Now again in the modern world, stem cell research could save millions of lives, but is held back by people in robes and beards jumping up and down.





I think i started another anti religion discussion.....

Every time I hear about Yom Kippur I think of the Simpsons now...

I know Weinstein?s parents were upset, Superintendent, but I was sure it was a phony excuse. I mean, it sounds so made up, ?Yom Kip-pur.?
-Principal Skinner

It's a little sad, frankly.

I voted "No" so that the number of votes for "No" and "Doesn't Apply To Me" would be the same.

Also jews are funny

That is what makes the Simpsons so great. If you get offended. Wait a minute and you will laugh at something offending to someone else.
