I grew up in a staunchly Roman Catholic home where Lent, Good Friday etc were observed as a rule of respect towards that religion and leniency and good thanks were guilted upon us.
Now that I'm grown up I have redefined those rules to suit me and others. So we endorse debauchery of sorts to the opposite of giving something up. Tonight it is Alaskan King Crab legs. Good Friday may be a rib roast or something fishy like lobster.
This is a good post Charlatan and I'm not trying to ruin it by being adverse or ignorant. I give up alot of my time volunteering for several organizations in the name of ME and well, giving something up in the name of religion,...been there done that,...when I had to. OK, I'll give up one!!! Sex. NOT
