<p>DisplacedNewYorker and I are giving up CC for Lent (and a week early). I've never given up anything for Lent before! Woo, there's a first time for everything.</p>
<p>nice! I think I'll try that too even though I just started, I'm also giving up red meat and procrastinating.</p>
<p>My two best friends, who happen to be catholic, both gave up weed for lent last year. They better not pull that crap on me again this year. Better give up soda or something stupid. The only part of Christianity I really get is that Jesus died for you, beyond that I'm lost, it all seems kinda strange and funny to me.</p>
<p>/Somewhere between agnostic and buddhist</p>
<p>haha buddhism is fun =D</p>
<p>Every year I try to give up chocolate or junk food, but i never make it past the first week. Kinda like my New Years resolutions</p>
<p>This thread initally scared me then I realized that Lent does not start until the ninth of February. Like the past 9 years, I will try to quit drinking for Lent.</p>
<p>You could pray for the Pope. I heard that he's gone to the hospital.</p>
