I gave up Lent for Lent. Raised Catholic but now an Atheist.

Lent is a season of the Christian Year where Christians focus on simple living, prayer, and fasting in order to grow closer to God. That works for me and for wondeful family.

I do not do Lent....I give up plenty all year long just because it is healthy to do so. No religion required.

Not all Christian groups observe Lent.

This should be a fairly innocuous discussion. What did you give up for Lent? I'm Jewish so I didn't give up anything. lol

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I gave up (or am still working on giving up...) the anger I have in my heart towards family that grievously wronged my beautiful mother shortly before she passed.

I figured that this is something I should, as a human being, let go of, since it only hurts me and not them.
