It doesn't have to be food that you give up...any pleasurable item, activity or object.

My Mom was born in Schulenburg Tx to parents who came from Austria, were Catholic, and became dairy farmers and sold milk to the Carnation company...My dad was born in east Texas poverty and was Southern Baptist...

Edit: Until quite recently when there were no outsiders around, when townspeople were with other locals, the language of day to day conversation was not English...It was German.

My dad was born in Columbus, parents were Lithuanian.

Lots of Europeans in that area.

I believe in God but have never read the Bible and never will,I don`t go to church,I don`t preach my beliefs to others,and I don`t trust or believe in any organized religion.

I don`t do Lent either.

I committed to my mother that I would listen to Father Mikes “Bible in a Year” podcast. I was pretty devote as a youngster (spent summers at St.Anthony’s seminary in fact, as I thought I had a calling) then found the P and went deep into a life of debauchery. I am agnostic now, but I have to admit that I have enjoyed the BiaY podcast. Mike seems like a legit dude. All in all, I do believe that religion helps many people navigate life. I am open to a “creator/creative force” I just do not believe that the Bible is the definitive full word of god. Far too many gospels and books were simply left out as they didn’t fit the papal narrative. My mother is still devote and attends mass each day. I’m sure she is praying and squeezing beads for my “return” 🙂

You’re kinda preaching  your beliefs here Wes.

Side note is your issue with the Bible due to inaccuracies recorded compared to your real life experiences? There is not many alive who remember spending 40 years in the desert with Moses.

You could definitely say that Dave,in fact you did  :D....what I meant was that I don`t preach it to try to convert others to believe in God or to force my beliefs on others.

Hey Moses was a real good dude.....he was as cool as the other side of my pillow !!   :D

But Ill be tapping some ass in the AM, then its bench day...
And giving up absolutely nothing for a fake sky-wizard and his cult.

Today is Fat Tuesday. Wife and I went to lunch. Tomorrow 9am Ash Wednesday Mass, Confession and fast. Fridays stations of the cross. Fish Friday has been fish Friday for a few years now so no big deal. Usual Saturday 5pm Mass or 8am Sunday depending on when my wife or both of us are scheduled

Have you wiped off the ash cross from your forehead yet?
