Sacrifice for Lent 2013

[Walter]

Last year I gave up posting on CC for Lent. This year it's booze that will stay in the cupboard and/or fridge. And, as always, I will give up being a nice guy.

Fat Tuesday..decision making day.

My sacrifice this year is a toss up between giving up coffee or meat.

When the boredom sets in you'll be trading your soul for a doobie.

I am not giving up a damn thing for lent but I am cheering because the Pope is going
to go back to where ever he came from. All this sacrificing something for what?

 

[petros]

All this sacrificing something for what?

Personal gain, satisfaction, achievement, spiritual well being.

Walter, you have to start something afore you give it up.

Have a drink and smile instead.

You could always try giving up being a shill for the rightwing nutjobs.

Can't give up what you don't have. You would have had to be a nice guy to begin with, and we all know that all you right wing nut jobs have never been nice.

How about right wingers obeying Jesus by giving up on their hatred for Obama during Lent?

 

[Dexter Sinister]

Since I see no intrinsic virtue in self-denial and am not a member of the faith community that honours Lent, I plan to give up nothing and take no notice of it whatsoever except for this sentence.

Then why bother commenting if it's something you're not part of. Would you comment on a thread about menstruation for no apparent reason?

I don't hate nobody; I do hate the Bamster's policies, though.

 

[petros]

Hate is a strong word.

I'll pray that you find meaning.

Hate is a strong word.

It is.
