Will there be beer?

'Cause, ya know…I’m an atheist… And I like beer…

Not for the party…but do you guys ever adopt extra vices for Lent, since so many are available?

That actually wouldn’t be a bad idea for the party, actually. Particularly the AntiChick tracts would be fun to draw and hand out. I’m pretty sure the latter is always the point of any party.

Sorry, but according to the Rapturists us one billion Catholics will still be around. Magnificent art and evolution in the schools for everybody!

Seriously, serve Darwin fish and play operas from Catholic countries.

It may not match the music mix, but I’d like to request ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon.  
Imagine there’s no Heaven  
It’s easy if you try  
No hell below us  
Above us only sky  
Imagine all the people  
Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries  
It isn’t hard to do  
Nothing to kill or die for  
And no religion too  
Imagine all the people  
Living life in peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer  
But I’m not the only one  
I hope someday you’ll join us  
And the world will be as one

More serious than my last post - Collect religious (or not…) items that are no longer needed due to the rapture. Auction them off. Donate the proceeds to charity.

I never have before, but that’s only because I never thought of it. Now I need to dig up that “What do you give up for Lent?” thread and take some notes on sins that I could try out.
