Are you "religious" House?

I am always baffled by the number of non religious/Christian people who give up meat during Lent. I don't get it....not necessarily referring to you, but others I know.

It keeps us in the good graces IAG. I look at it as 7 Fridays so it's a small sacrifice. I have no problem eating tuna fish.

Right. But it revolves around Easterm and thus Christianity. Thus I don't get why some people (including you) would do it. I'm just curious. I am a protestant so no need to give it up anyway. I think maybe it's a lot of non practicing Catholics perhaps who just do it out of habit more than conviction.


And I just mention you specifically, as you have always said you were "spiritual." I am sure it is a family deal. I get that.

I dont regularly attend mass but i participate in lent.

Some may say thats odd.

But its one thing not to do what you are supposed to do.

Its another to do what you arent supposed to do.

Actually my family doesn't give up anything. Hard to explain but I do it to give up a pleasure (pop) in recognition of Jesus. He sacrificed water for 40 days, Catholics sacrifice something in lieu of water. Lent allows non-practicing Catholics to recognize Jesus Christ without going to church. Not sure it's the best answer.
