Lent is the time in the Christian faith where you await the crucifiction of Jesus. Catholics give of meat, they fast, etc. In the church I used to go to (Episcopal), and many others (Baptist, Methodist, and most other denominations), the priests go on a sales pitch for Lent and urge the congregation to give up something they love to symbolize Jesus's sacrifice. It's usually somethin trite and meaningless such as giving up chocolate or soda, but what if....
(Now for the cool thought.....)
...If the congragation loved Jesus the most, why didn't they give Jesus up for Lent? Seriously. Why didn't they give up God for Lent....
