Lux Aeterna Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ah the joys of not being Catholic anymore. I don't have to give up anything since I'm not technically Catholic. I just need a somewhat good reason to give up M&Ms (it does awfully for my complexion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not Catholic, I don't see how it can mean anything to you. So it's a bullshit excuse that means nothing to you and you have no real reason to abide by it.

Make some sense please. >_> I could be atheist and still celebrate Lent. Well, see, I can't just give up M&Ms all willy-nilly. So when I stick it to a holy holiday it's a lot more motivation to stick to the giving up. I remember in eighth grade I used to call a kid fat all the time (in many ways). Then I used Lent to give that up and I ended up stopping the habit entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not Catholic, I don't see how it can mean anything to you. So it's a bullshit excuse that means nothing to you and you have no real reason to abide by it. "Give up something dear to you." Usually something that's not a good habit. Actually, you can look at it from a non-religious standpoint: test your mettle, see if you have the self-control to let go of something you indulge in often.

But don't use a religious holiday as an excuse to do it. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THAT RELIGION GODDAMMIT! Then just do that and don't attach it to a religious holiday. >_>.

So are you saying that atheists don't believe in the virtue of self-control? Because I don't see Lent religiously (ya know, desert, Jesus, demons), I see it from a different point of view, which I just explained.

Unless there's something else that I'm not aware of in the M&Ms that can cause acne... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being atheist by definition means you reject the existence of deities. It has NOTHING to do with self-control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't see where I said I didn't hold the Christian beliefs. Actually there is, which I've already explained. If I can give it some semblance of meaning (and give it a certain amount of time), then it becomes a lot easier, as I know when it'll end. Alternatively I could pick any 40 days, but really, I don't want to do the whole "crossing out the days on the calendar" thing. I'll just know when Lent is over.
