A status message on facebook about lent from a friend of mine:

"Dear fellow Christians: This Lent, how about giving up prejudice? Stand up against church-supported homophobia this holy season."

He was catholic, till he came out.

6. Nice Sentiment, But Doomed to Failure.

Being prejudiced against other is BEING christian to a great many christians.

8. I stole it for my status

sorry I didn't ask first. If it is a problem let me know I will take it down.

10. Lent is a person?

Sorry, but the brilliant point of this remark eludes me. Please help me understand.

(And I am standing up against church-supported homophobia; of course.)

11. Lent is the period before Easter when many Christians

especially Catholics, give up something pleasurable such as smoking or chocolate.

[Betty Karlson]

13. Oww, that explains a lot.

But as a Calvinist, I rather believe in giving things up altogether. Either use in modesty or not at all, that's the idea.

Thanks for the explanation, though. Much appreciated.

12. Many years ago, I gave up god for Lent. It has worked wonders.

[jgraz]

14. This would make a great billboard

I'm gonna send a suggestion to FFRF.

[Raster]

15. I gave up sobriety. I'm trying to drink more every day!

[TexasObserver]

16. Lent should be called the Annual Hypocrisy Celebration.

1. Get drunk, act a fool, puke your guts up

2. While still not sober yet, go have a priest put a cigarette out on your forehead

3. Stop eating M&Ms for 40 days

4. Hide some eggs. Find them.

5. Wear new clothes to church.

6. Keep your same homophobic dogma throughout.
