um...i'm pagan...or

um...i'm pagan...or jewish...or agnostic...or just, nothing (when pressed to term myself in terms of faith/religion...Agnositc, Jewish Pagan Dyke). i don't follow any one thing...just pick and choose what i believe, and to hell what other people think.

so, to answer your question, none of the above. i find huge fault in a religion that forces anyone to give up something, only for a month (or however long it is).

*deep breath* i will NOT attack, i will NOT attack. okay, i'm sorry. i don't mean to be rude to your religion...even though i know i sound like it. and i certainly don't mean to be rude to you. forgive me?

40 days

There are 40 days in lent and it's ok. You didn't insult me. In fact, I'm not even religious, I just like giving things up. I like to see what I can live without.

Go into the sand, and the dust, and the sky
Go now, there's no better plan, than to do or to die
Free me, pray to the fayth in the face of the light
Feed me, fill me with sin, and get ready to fight

I'm an atheist, but should I

I'm an atheist, but should I be forced to abstain from something, it'd be either soda or candy. I don't really like either

My favorite...

... is when they give up meat on Fridays. I'm like 'Damn, I give up meat 365 days a year. If heaven were real, I'd be in the express lane.'

Dude...

Are you serious? Do they do that?

That's amazing.

I don't think I'd want to be in an express lane to heaven though... Think about it. XD
