Sure did.
Fuck those rules!

Nah, im not catholic, but my family is so i didnt eat meat.. had pizza and stale cake! If only i could eat that every day.

It's a mortal sin.

does chicken count?

Vatican II realigned the rules on that.....

Same as any other day...

Vatican II realigned the rules on that.....

Heresy!

If I remember correctly, you can't eat chicken. But you can eat beavers or otters, because according to the fasting rules of the Catholic church, they're fish

Crap...I did....maybe that is why I can stop running to the bathroom. GOD IS PISSED!

Its good friday and you are not supose to eat meat if your are Catholic or any other christian. So if you are christian, Did you eat meat?

I ate meat today, I don't see how not eating meat is supposed to get be closer to Jesus

Meat Rules OK.

You're fucking right I ate chicken and lots of it. As an athiest carnivore, nothing can satisfy my lust for blood. :sniper:

Meat Rules OK.
Sinner.

I ate meat today, I don't see how not eating meat is supposed to get be closer to Jesus

On good Friday Jesus was sacrificed. So we repay him with a sacrifice of not eating meat for one day. It use to be every Friday in lent.(A lot of people still follow the old rules.)

Nope. Then again I rarely eat red meat, and somebody said something which has had me eating very little Chicken.

What about Christians that didn't celebrate it today?

Sinner.
That's me.

If I remember correctly, you can't eat chicken. But you can eat beavers or otters, because according to the fasting rules of the Catholic church, they're fish

So I can eat beaver on Good Friday cause it's similar to fish?

What about Christians that didn't celebrate it today?

Thats a good question. What are u some type of eastern church?

Nominally. Baptized Romanian Orthodox.
Haven't been to church in 15 years or so. I have never taken full mass, and I have never confessed.

At least for Roman Catholics, it is still every Friday during Lent.
I do know some old schoolers though, that don't eat meat on any Friday.

does chicken count?

Yes, Chicken is meat.

The way is was explained to me was that fish was exempted because of the loaves & the fishes, but also because fish are cold blooded.

Presumably, snake would also be acceptable. And rattlesnake does taste like chicken. :)

So I can eat beaver on Good Friday cause it's similar to fish?

Used to be the rules... I don't know if they saw how ridiculous they were and changed them or not. It wasn't regarded as similar to fish, it was regarded as fish. On account of living in the water. I can't seem to find much online about it though...

I ate tuna fish, i was baptised a christion or catholic or whatever but i don't believe in any lord, i am my own ruler nuts to teh rest of them. A day wouldn't be complete without some meat.

You can eat fish during Lent and on Good Friday...

But tuna fish contains dolphins, and they're mamals... :eek:

Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.’”
Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”
“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean.’ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man ‘unclean’; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him ‘unclean.’”
—Matthew 15:10-20, NIV

Repent, oh meat-eating infidel! The christ child died for you!

ewwww id rather eat tofu!

not that i didnt eat meat, i dont see the sense of obeying minor rules when i dont obey the big ones.

Big fat juicy pork roast brimming with crackling....mmmmmmmm

The moral of which is: don't wash your hands.

But still, Jesus advised washing your hands - especially after going to the bathroom.

But only for kaka. Pipi is ok.

No you ding-bat!

The moral is don't put your hands in your mouth.

Yeah, I ate meat. Fast food.

Mmm.

And I'm definitely not any kind of christian.

I am not Christian but I did not eat meat today, by chance. It happened that a colleague of my wife got a load of shrimps cheap, so we ate those (or rather they did and I ate some fish as I am allergic to crustacea).
Good friday - who cares?

Of course. It is Friday. Hotdog. With bun.

Repent, oh meat-eating infidel! The christ child died for you!

Christ is soylent green? :eek:

Its good friday and you are not supose to eat meat if your are Catholic or any other christian. So if you are christian, Did you eat meat?
Absolutely, positively, and unequivocally without guilt or remorse, which is a state i'm not often in.

Christ is soylent green? :eek:

XD

"SOYLENT GREEN IS JESUS!!"

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man ‘unclean’; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him ‘unclean.’”
—Matthew 15:10-20, NIV
I'm pretty sure that some of the things I do with my hands (or at least one hand) make me unclean, so I think I'll wash them before I eat just to be on the safe side.




Oh, and I'd love to be eating some beaver today, but I'm afraid that that is not a very likely prospect.

I'm an athiest vegetarian, man. Don't even mention both religion and meat in the same paragraph.

Of course. It is Friday. Hotdog. With bun.

Same. That was one good hotdog. It IS junkfood friday after all. :D

I'd've had a hamburger, but there was only one left, and I didn't want to be selfish. I had shrimp instead.

Of course, there's still time to eat half of said hamburger, but if I don't, it's not like it matters.

I had TWO hotdogs on a double wide bun! ^____^

Even God itself would have enjoyed the bacon and cheese sandwich I had for breakast, the beef vindaloo I ate for lunch, and the gyros on a pita I just polished off for dinner.

Despite being semi-aquatic rodents, capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), is consumed during Lent in parts of Venezuela. "Its dried and salted meat," according to Emilio Herrera (biologist and capybara expert at Universidad Simon Bolivar, Caracas), "is highly appreciated and is a traditional Lenten dish."

(http://www.rebsig.com/capybara/)

"Capybara meat is white and has qualities and properties (such as high emulsification) that might allow it to compete with pork and other meats in the food industry. Spanish-style sausages, Italian-style mortadellas, frankfurters, and German-style smoked chops have been produced experimentally. However, at present, the meat is mainly consumed only in the dried and salted form. It is particularly popular in Venezuela, where more than 400 tons are sold every year, especially during Easter festivities."

Well I ate a chicken sandwich for lunch and some chicken soup later...

And I'm a Catholic...woops...:eek:

12 years of Catholic school wasn't enough to beat into me the Good Friday rule. I had three pieces of fried chicken for lunch. Oh well. And I'm not going to church on Sunday either, god dammit!

(I'm waiting for the lightning bolt!)

Yep.
22 once bloody Porterhouse.

I am Christian (although I am protestant) and we don't have the 'no meat on Good friday' rule. I am not quite sure where that came from or the point of it, but I had some bacon bits on my baked potato for dinner (it also had cheese, so I didn't even eat Kosher, not that those rules apply to me, but just so you know)

anyway, I ate a baked potato, 1 serving of chips and a rice cake (not in that order) and that was all I ate today...... no wonder I am hungry, oh well, no food after 10pm... gotta wait until tomorrow.

*dreams about rice cake for breakfast*

I don’t ever eat meat, so no.

Thanks for reminding me that I unintentionally honored a Catholic tradition. Now I’m going to be fucking nauseas.

Now I’m going to be fucking nauseas.
*points and laughs*

I'm not Christian...and....I had...chicken. Twice. Lunch and dinner.

No, I didn't eat any meat, but that was more due to my unsocial waking hour and a friend who was generous with his pastries and pies than any for any religious reason.

What did piss me off though was that the pubs were all closed. Damn remnants of the theocracy hanging around.

Yep.
22 once bloody Porterhouse.
If it weren't for your name, I'd probably ask you to marry me. It's just as well, I suppose, I think my girlfriend might have had a problem with it.

I'd actually completely forgotton about this rule, being a non-practising catholic (I got good enough) for 15 years, coincidentally though I had a tuna sandwich for lunch and Fish+Chips for dinner so I actually followed the rule without my knowledge.

Now I'm going to do the traditional atheistic activity on easter sunday, eat so much chocolate I feel ill, thats what it's all about.

Maybe it was Dolphin Safe Tuna...:eek:
No it wasn't... hey it adds extra flavour ;) I also had some sausages just after reading this thread last night... lol i couldn't resist.

As a matter of fact I had three cheese burgers today. This is strange because I usually don't eat that much meat. *inhales more Chinese food*

Yep. And Christian. Oh wait Good Friday... not Saturday ummm I don't remember.... wait... no. I didn't have meat yesterday but not for any reason except that I didn't feel like it yesterday...

Seeing as to how it was Saturday when this was posted, and early in the morning, no, I haven't eaten meat. Turkey is apparently not meat. I had it with breakfast.

Yesterday, I had lamb. Which is licking the thin line between actual meat and meat-like edibles, like poultry and fish, due to its blood being used to protect the Hebrews on Passover.

Dang traditions, always making no sense at all.

Nope, not a Christian. I had eight or so (maybe more) beers & a couple of pies at the footy. Jesus was going to parachute in at half time, but he cancelled at the last minute.

I didn't eat meat, but that was unintentional-I just couldn't be bothered to make any lunch.

of course i ate meat, it tastes so good.
that and i don't understand why we shouldn't eat meat on the day of some guys' death, considering he respawns in three days.

only 8 beers? you filthy sober git. how can you watch footy like that? boony would be pissed at you, if he wasn't so pissed.

Mental image of Jesus in an online deathmatch.

Cool :p

Waiting to respawn for 3 days is torture.

the worrying thing is that people say i look like him. this is a bad thing. if people think i am him, they won't worry so much about killing me, as i'll probably respawn in 3 days

Waiting to respawn for 3 days is torture.
especially when some people are in the habit of doing rather unpleasant things to corpses :p

Arrgh i attacked a Spanish Merchantman carrying a large supply of Pork and Sugar but i restrained myself and got on thew Rum instead.

Yes, I failed. However, I did have a good time. :)

Well actually me and my dad went up to the Army Meuseum at Waiouru and on the way we stopped at Bulls for a feed.
We stopped at the Bull Eye Cafe and ordered Scrambled Eggs and Salmon, they said it would be fifteen minutes...
It was actually 30 and instead of Salmon we got Bacon.:eek:
They said "Is this alright?"
I said no and killed the bitch.
Bloody Rurals, ya can't trust em.

Imagine if we had been Jewish or Muslim!
The place would have been Fire bombed within the hour.

Lucky for them.
I ate my Scrambled eggs and toast.

So no, i ate no meat on Good Friday.

Yes, I failed. However, I did have a good time. :)
as long as you did, otherwise i'd have to travel far too long to teach you the error of your ways.
then again, i don't know what boony thinks about drinking spirits

Imagine if we had been Jewish or Muslim!

actually, though i'm jewish, i wouldn't have firebombed them. unless i was bored...

Well, haven't eaten meat yet today... And probably not eating meat today, but that's not really because it's good friday...

as long as you did, otherwise i'd have to travel far too long to teach you the error of your ways.

Drinking any substance is commendable. Except for water. It makes you sober.

water is filthy disgusting stuff. all those bacteria floating around in it haveing sex. how can people drink that stuff? i know i don't.

It's not as though this is the actual day as which Good Friday was originally designated. If you take into account different time-zones around the world, it just makes such a rule pointless.

I apologise if somebody has already stated the obvious.

Damnit. Had I realized this, I would have made a point of eating meat. Oh well.

maybe, but i doubt we'll find out soon, despite what i have been known to do to myself, i have not died yet and i won't die in the next few hours, unless someone tries to kill me in my sleep.
in other words: if you want to try to kill me in my sleep then you'll have an opportunity in 20 minutes

i didn't even know you weren't supposed to eat meat on good friday when i was a christian. i had sausages for my dinner. they were yummy.

Not a Christian, but had fish instead of meat.

Are you sure that fish is banned??? I thought it was only the meat of animals, ie sheep, pigs and cows - or any other animal that you may wish to eat.

I haven't had meat, but I haven't eaten much yet. I did get up damn late, I've only been awake for about 2 hours. Might have some chicken for dinner, or a burger. Yum.

Oh wait, good friday was yesterday. Ooops.

Thomish Kingdom - you're wrong. There is no biblical authority for not eating meat on Good Friday; there may be a Catholic tradition not to eat meat, but that doesn't affect those Christians who don't follow the Catholic tradition.

You betcha!

mmmm... peporoni.....
I'm going to hell! :D
