few weeks of no sugar in the tea and you'll never go back.

I can back this up. Used to take a spoon, cut it to half a spoon and now gone altogether. Don't give sugar in tea a moments thought now. Coffee on the other hand...

...you have tea in one hand and coffee in the other? At the same time? Man, you're sick!  ;D

Agreed though. That's exactly how I cut out the sugar in the tay. Can't take coffee without the suicre though.

So, Easter is nearly here. How have you all done with your Lenten 'give-ups'? I managed to let go of the sugar in the tea by drinking milk anytime tea was served. At home and anywhere else too! Kept off sweets, cakes, chocolate, biscuits. But I sure can't wait to dunk a biscuit into tea with a half-spoon of sugar Sunday morning!!

I did alright - more of a cutting down and feel guilty after eating it - rather than abstinence..

Lent technically finished at Sun down on Thursday morning. Thursday is the beginning of the Triduum according to the Church and Easter is obviously Sunday. So you can stop observing your lent if you havent already

Tell me if God created everything as per Genesis in 7 days, why did he create the serpent?

If you believe as an atheist and naturalist that my thoughts and your thoughts are simply brain secretions of an evolved species with no purpose and we are all just existing then why do you even care.... I am not wrong and you are you not wrong, we just are, right?

You obviously don't care enough to formulate an argument.

If you truly believed in your own stance then there would be no need to argue......
