Listen i Know it's origins lie in religion but still, i think alot of secular society enjoys the challenge of lent.
Mine is hobby related: Giving Up unpainted Models. I dont currently see a point in giving up smoking, so i will inevitably fail if i try. Might give up chocolate.
So what are you giving up for lent? Assuming you are open minded enough just to enjoy the challenge of abstaning from something.

Just kidding, I'm giving up caring about things I was told to care about as a boy if they make no sense.
This is due to me replacing good Friday with Bacon Friday and finding it to be an enormous success.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels. |

I've already decided to give up weed to open my career opportunities a bit in the future (til they legalize it anyway). It's a bit like a break up.

Most of Frazzled's posts are threadlok based so it's probabaly for the best! Again anybody deciding this is the thread to bash christianity has come to the wrong place, Lent is just a bitof fun like Christmas in my opinion....
