It must be great to be in a religion where the Bible is just for decoration. Making stuff up as you go is way easier than reading.
So why not pray, fast, and give your time in almsgiving by taking part in the 40 Days for Life, February 17 -- March 29, 2010, Come and Pray to Stop Abortion in the World??
You can do this by finding a Planned Parenthood (killing house) Center in your area and going and standing in front of it to pray -- thus giving your time to the unborn who are about to be aborted. It will strengthen one's observance of Lent, not weaken it! BTW -- you can do this virtually, too, by going to that thread each day -- posted both in the Religion and the News Forums -- and pray virtually. Get on either Faith's or my ping list.
