For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.
But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

Are you being honest about your experience here or was your church so incredibly farfrom the rest of the faith that ypu did notcelebrate Lent? That’s really uncommon.
Uh, well, I am being completely honest, and I also think that American Protestants not celebrating Lent is actually quite common.

That is to say, a supermajority of American Protestants do not seriously celebrate Lent with actual fasting.
My particular upbringing?
Yeah, also in line with this study, we had an Easter themed special service, with particular verses for reading, but we did not call it Lent, we just called it Easter Service, we did not fast.
So, yeah, I am assuming you are either Catholic or European, as… you’d have to be out of touch with American Protestants to think its ‘really uncommon’ for them to not celebrate Lent… when the reverse is true, its actually really common for that to happen.
Leaning also toward Catholic given that you’re really concerned about Lent, and your user name is, as best I can tell, a play a common Catholic phrase, in Latin.
Roughly: ‘Where are you going, mankind?’, right?
As juxtaposed against I think Peter’s ‘Quo Vadis Domine?’ or ‘Domine, Quo Vadis?’
This is a bit more informative regarding your statistic
“Those who rarely or never attend a religious service are the most likely to ignore Lent (89%).”
So it’s really non-devout people who arent doing it.
