Before I begin, let me clarify a few things.
I am not Catholic.
My father was raised that way, but I was never dunked in water or ate crackers given to me by a priest.
I don't believe that I can fully classify myself as a Christian because I don't believe that a man built an arc to rescue all the world's creatures from a flood. If that's the case though, tell me what happened to the unicorns or those dinosaurs!!!! Seriously the world could have used a mythical creature like the unicorn to brighten up the lives of it's inhabitants.
As Polly Poppins puts it, "ENFP's do things the way that they want to. It may not make sense to others, but it sure does to them."
I am participating in Lent. But by no means am I Catholic. I looked at Lent as more a stamina builder. If I could go 40 days without candy and Starbucks, I could do anything. However, being ENFP, I made some modifications. As I am not allowed to have candy until Easter, baked goods are perfectly fine. I mean I don't consume them on a daily basis anyways. Some might classify ice cream as candy. I say "nay." My best friend is a Christian and she reminded me that Lent is practiced more so as a sacrifice to God then an excuse to start eating healthy. But honestly, I don't think that I'm being selfish. I drink those Starbucks Fraps without an once of guilt. It was high time that I try to kick the habit.
Only 34 more days to go......
yeah, i pretty much had to stop being catholic because i just couldn't buy it. i'm not one to take a whole lot on faith, i guess. i tend to have a lot more faith in people than in what i consider something that people dreamed up. that's just me, i know christianity works for some people. and there is something very comforting in all the ritual of the catholic church--i still find a lot of it to be so, even though i'm not a believer.
ReplyDeletei do love me an enfp. y'all are fun, happy, friendly people who are a lot more spontaneous than i am.
