    Why is sacrifice such a large theme in so many religions? Some people even go all humpty dumpty over religions...Which isn't a pretty sight, and rarely ends sunny side up.

    I think I have a clue though, I'll deprive my life of its few joys, that way I'll be so fidgety and jacked up and pissed off at the rest of the world that God will have made me a real , and TRUE, God fearing man, when I turn bat and set off in my aggravation and frustration at the world...My soul to save, Jesus, God, help me, give me strength to follow in your footsteps as I make my life miserably dull, boring....RAGH!

    I'll be all like I WANT IT! And God will point and smile, and say "That's the idea!" I can start praying for my soul as I set out to the streets, I'll start burning them down and God will say, let me save you, let me give you strength to give up life's few joys...and I'll come together in the end and be like JESUS SAVES!!!

    If I don't give something up, God is going to kill kittens...and this simply won't do...

    Seriously though, whatever floats your fisherman's boat...

    I didn't know it was tradition to give something up for Lent until I was an atheist. They probably taught me at Catholic school, but eight year olds don't pay attention to that stuff

    I've given up caring.

    Not my job, I mean in general.
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    I used to give up candy. This year by sheer coincidence I am giving up on unhealthy foods for lent!

    I already gave something up, not for religious reasons and I can't seem to think about anything else...
