" so what are you giving up for Lent??"
"Eating babies......"
Tis the season that I get asked this question almost everyday.... I'm going to need some more snarky come backs as I'm running out of new ones.
Laughing at "eating babies."
"I'm giving up chocolate for lent."
"I'm giving up beer -- but not whiskey -- for lent."
"I'm giving up soda for lent."
Nauseating.
None of them (any Catholic I know) mentions the volunteer service or "good works" they'll be doing in addition. Just that they are so pious for giving up some treat that goes in their stomach.
Ugh......
How about I give up religion for lent!!
I do not celebrate eating crackers nor drinking grape juice calling it skin&blood of an alleged baby god who KNEW in advance he would be tortured nailed to a tree one alleged Palestinian weekend and escape from an alleged tomb "alive ??? " ....I will not give up my sanity for this insane belief
