I read that some non-catholics are...can't remember who.
I was raised Catholic but I can't give anything up...I barely eat as it is and I'm not gonna quit drinking or smokin', sorry. I don't think not giving up something for lent makes me a bad person, does it? I'm trying to give up the b/f but that doesn't count, but sure don't need to quit my vices at the same time lol.
I'm giving up free music and movie downloading. No more limewire or any free downloading programs. I download too much free stuff. About 95% on the music and video on my computer and my iPod was downloaded illegally and there's alo more that I want so not being able to get on limewire and just get it will be hard. I'll be buying anything I want from now on.

Mel you are right Lent doesn't have to be about giving up something. You can do something like pray the rosary every day (for Catholics) or read the bible every day.

I'm giving up cussing and sodas.
But today on the show, the lady who said she wasnt gonna smoke except on sundays and they didnt understand why she would be able to on sunday well here's the reason she came to that decision:
The six Sundays in Lent are not counted among the forty days because each Sunday represents a "mini-Easter", a celebration of Jesus' victory over sin and death. But thats mostly western christianity.
