have you ever been to a Protestant service? Looking around you can almost guarantee most don't even know what fasting means

I didn’t say all priest are bad, just that it’s accepted fact that it happens world wide in Catholicisms
In which country or field doesn't it happen?

No giving up here! How about just being a better person all around! Have to start somewhere. Maybe others will see it and do the same.

Protestantism is not a religion and also, there’s your answer

To be fair - some Lutherans, Anglicans and Methodists do

Nobody cares what anyone is giving up. The whole point is to do it for yourself. Not for clout to brag to others about how good of a Christian you are

Self sacrifice is great.

Having a support system helps

I'm not a Democrat either, but what does that have to do with Lent?

I'm sure you could find one in a full Protestant church. Probably the same ratio of Catholics that actually know what salvation really means.

I'm not Catholic but I work with a ton of people who are. The 70 year old receptionist about had a heart attack when I was eating a hamburger on a Friday. I had to explain to her that I wasn't Catholic and didn't follow that.

Many of us do. I know of non-denominational churches that do a 21 day fast. It may be everything except liquids or it may be just certain things.

Could be your own private fast.

no, i mean the Biblical definition. The only definition. The only way to be saved. What I think, or you think, is irrelevant. What the Bible says is all that matters.
