It is Ash Wednesday tomorrow... that means the start of Lent. Today, Tuesday, is "Mardi Gras" or in English "Fat Tuesday", the day of massive feasting before the start of Lent and Ash Wednesday.
What are you giving up for Lent? I gave up Facebook. lolol... 40 days. Let's go!
So first celebrate wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. Then feel bad for doing it. So like every week before Sunday service.
Thats quite a doctrine.
I will quit porn for 40 days.

I'm not Catholic, but Anglican. Virtually the same except for divorce and marriage for priests. lol....Quote:

Thanks Iaminut. Didn't realize you knew the origins of Christianity, as a byproduct of the Nicean conference in 325 AD, which is now the byproduct of Catholicism. Pretty slick ruler who instituted the old religion Mithras-a dude who was celebrated on December 25th, into the Catholic Mass...of Christos aka Hee-suus I mean Jesus .
But to those who don't preach, but practice what is right. Keep on Keepin' on.:cool:
True Christianity didnt start with Yeshua, it started with Paul.Quote:

Plus the myth of Mithras is mis interpreted. Many times over. Plus they came after the beginning of Christianity.Quote:
