Bah. I am of the opinion that Lent is just another uptight tradition carried over by a too uptight Catholic church. If you want to fast (fasting does not necessarily mean food), then fast. Don't fast because it's a certain day or month or whatever. To me, Lent is just another sign of people being Sunday Christians. People who do whatever the hell they want during the week, but then act like Saints on Sunday's when they go to church.
EDIT: No offense to anyone on here who practices Lent though.. My opinion is just based off of my own personal experiences. Not trying to attack anyone.
