I started this post as a humerous look at what people might think about giving up for lent, as the comments by FK and others  show - not so that you could use it to ridicule others beliefs.

It was just a joke.

So Luddite do have definite proof or evidence that there is no God/Supreme being?   I am certain you don't as many great minds have been trying to prove  this unsucessfully one way or the other for millenia.

Thus your own anti faith stance is your own personal belief or faith ie  you have a "Strong or unshakeable belief in something,without proof or evidence"

I joined in to be part of the fun, but I have to go on record as expressing my own contempt for the arrogant self-importance that calls itself faith, and for the PC drivel that ends up forced to grant the possibility of the flying spaghetti monster because it can't be disproved.

What they really believe is that if they turn a pretty face toward their English teacher and say "This four time I repeat this course you help me" he'll cook the exam results and ignore their failure to open a book since leaving high school.

Sorry, a bit late joining this one.

I'm not giving up anything for Lent either. I tend to take something up instead.

BTW my understanding is that Jesus is quite used to jokes and mockery. He got a fair bit of it while he walked this earth and just took it on the chin.
I tend to take a leaf out of his book and not get worked up about it.

Flying Spagetti Monster!!   ;D

Of course!   :D

All Hail His noodly goodness.   >:<

I suppose in honour of the great noodle, I should give up spagetti for lent. 
But He made it so tasty for us all to enjoy and i'm sure he'd get upset if i failed to partake of His holy body. 

I shall consult the next  :ar!  I encounter for meatball-based ecumenical guidance on the matter.

What about a new range of pirates?  The FSM is really keen on pirates!

Then a range of modern US civilians...

Pirates Vs Republicans a whole new gaming experience.
