I totally agree. Is your commitment to Christ really not worth giving up a hotdog. Pretty sad.

I am a Catholic, and I don't think eating meat on Friday is a big deal. This is not a rule anywhere in the Bible. It's a "man-made" law by the church, the purpose being to do self-sacrifice. There are other ways to sacrifice: do volunteer work for a nursing home, donate money to a charity, read the bible every evening, etc., etc. My God is a loving God, and I don't believe that he would send anyone to hell for eating meat on a Friday! The way you live your whole life counts for a lot more in the final judgment. As far as I'm concerned, this is a trivial "church rule" and by the way, I am a Vegetarian!!

I'm not a Catholic. I AM a Christian tho. I was raised to believe that Jesus Christ gave up everything, including His life, so that we didn't have to. I've always known about Lent and what it was about, we just didn't practice it. I have never seen this rule written in the scriptures, I have seen written that Jesus Christ came to FULFILL the Law. We are saved by our acceptance of Jesus Christ into our hearts not by adherance to laws.

I understand there are MANY things available to eat at the stadium, and I know there are many people that attend the games that are not Catholic. They have to follow their own conscience, all of them. If it would make them feel guilty to eat a hot dog, then DON'T. It should not have to be dictated by the church.

im not one to discuss my religon but if its a sports game dont bring religon into people go there to have fun there it dosent matter wat religon or race u are everyone is having a good time so if your hungry go ahead and have a hot dog...whose is it hurttinng anyway?

very well said shikamaru. catholics think they are so saint. if so, then why are they hypocrytes? they can gamble in the church, smoke and drink, but don't have sex before marriage, unless your a presit who like to moleste little boys. catholics make me sick. They have their own bibles and add and take away whatever they want. Lent, come on what is that. Don't eat something because Jesus died for us. No one will ever be like Jesus in a lifetime. You are to follow and obey God's rules and the man made world has put so many laws that affect everyone. If you go to church you better not tell anyone. I am a christian and very proud that I am a member of church of christ. We follow the bible and read the same bible as most religions. New King James. Not our own. Like the catholics. Sad. They are so good that they have to put all the churches together,because they have to pay out so much money to the victims who were molested. Sad. So eat whatever you want. Just like communion on sunday's why and what are doing this? It says on the table "remember me when you do this?" a lot of people have no idea why you take communion. Wanna make a bet catholics?????

well said clevebtch I have said this all along about the catholics. They can drink, smoke and not have sex before marriage.????? Because having sex before marriage is a sin, yet they can drink and smoke and gamble at the church.??? I don't get it.

oh well that you feel that way ohio_gal. I talk about the people who do wrong. I am by no means a hypocrite. That is your thought and opinon and you know what they say every one has one just like a--holes. You I really do not care what you think of me. Catholics are the most ones who cause the problems in religion. Look at the presit. As long as your doing good for yourself and others then yes I do look for the good in people. I know I commet sins everyday if I did not I would not be human. Sorry you feel the way you do, yet I will pray for you because of your comment and plus your catholic. each and everyone of us will have to answer on judgement day!!!!
