Lent

[Craig]

It has come to my attention that the time of Lent is upon us, Lent is the 40 days and nights that Jesus went without food (I think). So do you plan on giving anything up? Me and 2 friends have decided to give up food (XD i'll last an hour) and masturbation.

Discuss.

It has a bloody 'U' in it! Masturbation! God!

[Spritz]

Every year I give up eating raw peppers. I've always succedded. Maybe this year I'll give up something I acctually use.

...nah.

Thanks for that :)

[Doomgaze]

De nada. And man, I love peppers, that would suck. I think I'll stick with the usual - faith.

[Rye]

I've never bothered with Lent my whole life. I don't see the point to giving something up except to benefit you, like if you're on a diet or something and you give up ice cream.

[Mr. Graves]

I wonder why people would fast themselves over a deity that might not have existed.

That said, no, I'm not really giving up anything save for not eating as many fatty foods as I have before.

[UltimaLimit]

I've never given anything up for Lent before, but maybe I will this year. Any ideas for what I could give up? (And if anybody says "masturbation" I'll kick them in the head.) :rolleyes2

Not that I'm making any promises, but if someone has a good idea, maybe I'll give something up.

[TheAbominatrix]

The purpose of Lent is giving up something you really like. So just think of something you like and do to the point of excess. If I practised Lent, I'd give up the internet or punk shows or RPing. But I dont, so I shant.

Graves - Doesnt that go for anything? Why do anything for someone that might not have existed? Faith. Cause it's what we care about. Simple.

I think I'll do the opposite of Lent and indulge twice as much in the things I like. Double the fattening foods, double the videogames, double the amount of EZ cheese coated cracker crumbs all over my disgusting stretchmark ridden stomach bulging out from underneath my faded "I'm a super duper programmer!" shirt. I'll call it Defer.

Defer kicks ass.

[Shlup]

I've never participated in Lent. I wouldn't even know what to give up. It would have to be something meaningful, but the only things I could think of are things that would probably cause me to not function very well in the rest of me life for a good 30 of 40 days.

[Necronopticous]

Jesus better be happy, I'm pouring my heart into Defer.

This is for you big guy.

[DMKA]

Until people start giving up stuff for all the other people who had to endure extensive hardass conditions, I'm not bothering, and never have.

[Rainecloud]

I'm giving up not having breakfast.

[boris no no]

i've never partisipated in lent. not really a christian family.
i've already given up chocolate (why dear god why???????) so i suppose i could say it's for lent.

[gokufusionss1]

it's not lent yet, is it?

[Resha]

Oh. So that's what lent is.

[Dreamtiger42]

im not giving up mastrubation and no one can make me :D lmao!! When ya say your giving up mastrubation does that mean sex as well? :confused:

im going to be giving up chocolate and coffee :D

I give up chocolate every year and lose alot of weight! :D im already on a diet anyway but i wont eat any chocolate until easter!

EASTER EGGS FOR ALL! :D

(that is when lent finishes right? :confused: )

[Lord Xehanort]

Ansem: The easiest way to not masturbate is to never start.

Kounetsu: Most of the human race isn't as resilient to their urges as you are, young one.

Ansem: Whatever, in any case, I am an Atheist and thus do not practice lent. So, if I wanted to, I could masturbate every day, but no... masturbation is just icky! >.<

[Jebus]

I gave up Christianity three years ago. You can say everyday is Lent for me. :D

[Levian]

Ok, I'll give up <del>Final Fantasy.</del> RPG's in general.

[DeBlayde]

I'm not catholic.

The only things I really really care about in this world are: my wife, swords, martial training, weapons training, my wife, practicing with swords, polishing swords and swinging swords.

But, I'm not catholic, so I don't hafta give up nuttin. so there. ththtbbbt! :P
