yeah, ok i take that no problem. but isnt it better to do good to others during the lenten period than simply to give up meat or not smoke 20 joints a day etc etc. the material things in life are pointless compared to the good will shown to others. i have, in the past, worked with underpriviledged kids, helped out elderly neighbours, etc etc for lent (shit that sounds crap as i didnt go and beat em up on easter, i began it during lent and carried it on after easter.... the helping not the beatings). maybe rcatholicism is taught wrongly in irish schools, it was when i was in school, it was rammed down your neck!
