What is Lent?

"The word lent comes from a Saxon word that originally meant 'length' and was used to denote springtime (lencton, in Old English). So in the northern hemisphere, at least, we observe Lent during a time of year when the days are lengthening and signs of new life are appearing." --- from Living the Christian Year by Bobby Gross.

@erikpkoskela Scum bag!!

The 40 days of Lent are days of weeping for Tammuz, who, at age 40, was gored to death by a wild boar. The forty-first day of this fast falls on the celebration of the reincarnation of Semiramis, Tammuz' mother, as Ishtar, the Queen of Heaven. Her reincarnation is celebrated after the vernal equinox, on the first Sunday named in her honor: Easter. Ishtar, Isis, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Oestre, all mean star, & this star we now call "Sirius," the Dog Star. Ishtar & her infant son are often portrayed.

@CarlosMarti123 You still make a lot of blablabla. Answer my question . but YOU CAN`T.

[CarlosMarti123]

@tallliza Do I need to make myself clearer? Free will: The ability to make a decision between two or more viable options independently of any other entity making such a decision. It doesn't MATTER what the outcome of such a decision is, the question is whether the PERSON is MAKING the decision.

Your question: Can you "force" another decision than that forseen by God?

My answer: No, you cannot.

Your question: Does that mean free will doesn't exist?

My answer: No, it does not.

@CarlosMarti123 Master of diversion. Answer my question, or admit you can`t. If there ia anything that doesn`t make sense, it`s your comment.

[CarlosMarti123]

@tallliza You can't read at all, can you? T-H-E A-N-S-W-E-R: YOU CANNOT "FORCE" A DECISION, SUCH A STATEMENT IS MEANINGLESS. Such question would be like asking: What color does blue smell like? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Got it?

[tallliza]

@CarlosMarti123 Yes, indeed, its over, until you have the maturity to answer a question, or until you admit that you have no answer

[CarlosMarti123]

@tallliza Well, seeing as you didn't address my response, I don't see why you would bother to reply at all. This conversation's now over until you have the maturity to read what I wrote.

Kudos :)
