Ash Wednesday & Meat

[Tender Branson]

Discuss.

I will eat a Schnitzel today, so yes (it seems I´m a bad Christian then, but I don't care).

[dead0man]

As it's just like every other day, I'll eat like it's every other day thankyouverymuch.

[Franzl]

I don't go out of my way to avoid meat.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Yes... I don't give up anything for lent (but that doesn't mean I can't have a few paczki on Tuesday ).

[Hash]

Ah, I'll go out of my way to eat meat then.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

no meat today (or any other day)

[Franzl]

Ah, I'll go out of my way to eat meat then.

Which is just as stupid (or perhaps slightly more stupid) than abstaining from meat...but if it makes you happy...

People love to make a point.  Mrs. M3 is like Shua.....she doesn't eat meat (well, rarely she'll eat some chicken).  Me?  I just choose not to follow any lenten tradition but I'm not making a point.

The meat thing comes from the Church helping local fishermen back in the day. (The more you know, cue rainbow)

And no, I have not eaten meat and do not plan on it.

No, I was just fooling around. I'll eat meat today no matter what, though.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

I'll probably forget and eat some anyways.  Not that I care that much.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Of course. I'm not Catholic.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Of course. I'm not Catholic.

They're not the only ones who have a lent.

[Oakvale]

I rarely eat meat, so I guess I'm observing by default.

[Boris]

goddammit i forgot

[The Mikado]

Have a holy, solemn etc. Ash Wednesday, you guys. 

[Хahar 🤔]

I haven't actually eaten meat today, although I'm sure that that will change at dinner.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

It was odd seeing Tony Reali with ash on his face during Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption today - I didn't know he was religious.

In other words, no.

[Platypus]

I thought it was just no oil, or is that just a Greek thing? On Ash Wednesday at the fish and chip shop we'd only cook grilled fish, without oil.

I actually had a priest explain that if your seafood is better than your non-seafood / meat (like it is in Louisiana), then it defeats the purpose of abstaining from meat.
