While I’m well aware that the varied many reading this here obscure local social blog are a patently irreligious and blasphemous lot, I think it’s easy to assume that, conversely, there are quite a few of us out there that still do reverently fear the good Lord God Almighty and fervently respect His questionably arbitrary rules of worshipful devotion, especially with the season of Lent casting its restrictive pallor upon the diets of said flock.
Yes, for many practicing Christians, the Lenten season is a chance to reflect on our sins and stand in awe of Jesus’s sacrifice, oftentimes by fasting from eating meals altogether, or, in the more popular, mostly Catholic variation, simply abstaining from meat and pounding down a couple of Filet-O-Fishes instead. You might ask how is that comparable to Christ’s pain and suffering, but then I have to ask you, have you ever had the Filet-O-Fish? Ugh.
