overheard something that made me smile today. . .

So I heard some people talking about how they're not eating meat during lent, or something like that and I got to thinking, why is this? I know the bible doesn't say give up meat so why do catholics take it upon themselves to not eat meat? What are they trying to prove? This just goes to show that religion is mind control and not only mind control, but I guess also diet controlling. Throw whatever facts you want at me, it's still crazy. It makes absolutely no sense, but then again, what else do you expect from religion? Is it supposed to make sense? Of course not. So I guess if you do believe in that stuff then you shouldn't eat meat anyways. Leave the steaks and burgers to me and I'll give the coals I used to cook my steak with to you to go draw some more pagan symbols.
