Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Uh, well, I am being completely honest, and I also think that American Protestants not celebrating Lent is actually quite common.

Catholics are more likely than Protestants to say fasting from a favorite food or beverage is part of their practice during Lent (55% vs. 38%).
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?'

Jared Leto, too bad he is in the Tron: Ares which I'm almost looking forward to watch simply because of nine inch nails...
That little fucker ruined Blade Runner for me. He can't act and his voice rubs against my colon and makes me want to shit my pants.
The ONLY good thing he did was get the shit beat out of him in Fight Club.
And to think we might have had David Bowie as Niander Wallace if they had just started filming earlier.

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.

Didn't like inception or shutter island?
Not as much as I would have liked them with someone else in the lead role. Especially Shutter Island. It's one of my favourite books and Dicaprio ruined it with his usual overly affected New York accent straight out of SNL.

I've heard this a lot but every time I look into it is always just him being religious.
he supports his alt-right brother who attends a fundie church as well, and he shares in his beliefs, although not as explicitily as his brother.

The original Benny Hill version was better (and shorter.)
The family message isn't very strong in this one, but it is very funny
