What to give up for Lent? (quote, song)

The Catholic religion is full of these type of things-you always have to give up something or do more of something. I can't see what the point of it all is to be honest. The good thing about it is though it forces people to lay off fatty foods and whatever for about a month. So it's a good way to diet, but that's the only thing it is. I think the only time I have ever given up something for Lent was chocolate. And that lasted all of 2 days.

EDIT: I just read explosions' post and I also feel that the whole Jesus birthday thing is stupid. It has been proved that Jesus' birthday is Jan 6th, yet Christmas stays on December 25th obviously because it would be 'bad for business'. That shows you just how important the Catholic religion is these days.
