I've always like this tradition. The challenge of it is fun, seeing how much will power I really have. Also seeing the stupid poo poo people think is important enough to note giving up is really fun. This year I'm giving up meat. I figure it will be medium hard. One year I tried to give up speeding. I lasted less than a day. Driving down the interstate at the speed limit had to be the scariest experience of my life. People were zooming by inches from me in every direction and I thought for sure that I was going to die when I made a left exit. It was like standing still in a mosh pit full of sweaty 300 pound dudes. Giving up chocolate just felt lazy but at least I succeeded. Giving up video was actually kind of fun. It's unbelievable how much time we waste on that poo poo. What are you all giving up?

As an alcoholic, I don't understand this practice of giving up a self-determined vice in order to reach a place of spiritual purity, but I can respect it.

I thought about giving up plowing your mom but came to my senses (and all over you mom's face).

If you believe in Jesus and think you're going to heaven anyway then why would you even bother?

Bloodfart McCoy posted:If you believe in Jesus and are going to heaven anyway then why would you even bother? For Lutherans and a lot of other Christians, most things aren't about getting into heaven. To some extent it's about trying to become a better person through self denial. To some extent it's also about tradition for traditions sake.

Jerry Mumphrey posted:can someone plz explain lent? It's a period of repentance and penance in preparation for Easter. The exact form of the penance varies across cultures and time periods including things like fasting, alms giving, and prayer. The point of giving up a specific thing for lent is to make it a personal sacrifice, consistent with the more personal focus of modern Christianity. This is certainly related to the sacrifice of Jesus but it's not meant to be a direct mimicry, more a following of the same philosophy.
