LENT

LENT

Their lunch consumed,
the waitress served them cake.

The woman left hers untouched.

“You’re not eating
your cake?” he asked.

“I gave sweets up
for Lent,” she said.

He thought for a moment.

“I gave up religion for lent,”
he replied.

That was easy

Sounds like the words of a newbie Atheist. Can't let go of subtle tradition. ;-b

Oldie Atheist

Longtime atheist, actually. Mom had me baptized five times in my first 12 years, all different forms of Christianity. None stuck. Also dabbled in Buddhism, hated people jumping up and down and claiming they got a raise or a new car because they chanted for it. Kinda liked Shintoism and Okinawa animism. But, mostly, I believe in me.
