Okay, for all you non-christians today (Wednesday the ninth of Februrary) is Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Lent is a season of the liturgical calendar which starts 40 days before easter. It is written in the bible that that Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert, so people developed a tradition of not eating meat for the 40 days before easter. Then, people decided to change it so that you could give up whatever you wanted for the 40 days, and only abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

Now, I'm not the greatest Christian there is (I've already eaten meat today, and last year I didn't give up anything for lent), but I was wondering whether I could hold out without doing *that* for 40 days. I'm not doing to 'renew my devotion to the church' or anything like that, just to see how long I would survive. It'd be fun, like a little experiment.
Do you reckon I can make it?
Does anyone else wanna do it? You don't have to be Christian.

depends on your self control and your will. One thing is for sure though, you will end up with sticky sheets.

It's like that shitty movie I made a point of not seeing, all over again.

Dont forget.

You only said "YOU" couldn't whack you off.

If you have a omghawt girlfriend who doesnt mind spanking your chimp, then well.......need I say more?

I'm giving up being an idiot.

Oh shit school starts in 10 minutes.

i bet u will be wacking off dreaming of hardcore by tongiht

That's what Morgan Spurlock said as well. He almost died.

All I can say is good luck. I know people who've tried this, needless to say they didn't last long. Anyway, I guess try your best and good luck.

Wasen't this a josh hartnett movie? Except in the movie he was someone who had the option to get real sex, unlike you

Yeah, except that if Josh Hartnett wasn't famous, he wouldn't get any anyway. And seriously, regular masturbation helps prevent prostate cancer. And, you won't have to change your sheets on a 2-3 day schedule.

Yeah, any kind of sex is okay, even if it's a hand job.

40 days, huh? Hope you have plenty of extra sheets handy just in case of a night time accident and good luck to you.

He was not playing a movie star in the movie. You went and got the wrong context. Plus mass media tells me he's a handsome man.

Nope.
40 days? No way will you make it.

It's not a general Christian practice, just Catholic. I'll go ahead and pass that up, as well as painting eggs to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and praying to people other than God.

No, I know. I saw the movie. But if he were just an average joe, he wouldn't get any, IMO. He's not very good looking. Too skinny and weak. Although, he does have a great voice.

Ok I'm sorry. I wasn't totally sure if it was Christian or Catholic. Sorry if I offended any non-catholic christians.
BTW I've never heard of that movie.

WOOHOO! I am the win! I must warn you, though, I used to be a pitcher. :D

i don't think jesus would care less if you not eat meat for 40 days...

or masturbate for that matter.

that's good for you, now you have time to do more useful stuff.

sx2b jesus...

if you're either below the age of 14 or above the age of 25, quite possibly.
but i seriously doubt it.
i personally couldnt last 3 days dude... i fucking try so hard... but its a daily thing for me :)

Does anyone else wanna do it? You don't have to be Christian.

I SIMPLY COULDN'T....
i have no idea what i could give up...
pretty much everything i do is essential for my well-being :)

i gave it up for 2 weeks once....

i dont care! and yet for some reason i have responded?

Personally if i could id throw a brick between the eyes of God and anyone who worships his dumb shitass.

I'll give up giving up stuff for lent.
This should be easy but also impossible.

Instead of giving up a decent-ish habit, why not give up a bad one, or, take up a good one?
"I won't eat meat". Who cares. Stop smoking instead.
