Comments on: How to give up Facebook for Lent and keep your friends

One Facebook addict's self-improvement project is another's snub. A sudden break from your social network--virtual or otherwise--can create some social minefields. Here's how to avoid them.

Lindsey - Seeing as you make it clear you are not a Catholic and you don't celebrate lent (Even though it's not just Catholics who celebrate lent). Do you also make it clear that you don't celebrate Christmas and Easter? Or are you one of those people who make it clear they aren't religious but enjoy all the religious festivals when it suits you?

Better yet, set your status as "I've quit Facebook forever, if you want to get in touch with me... call me or email me."

I did that 14 months ago and I haven't looked back.

after giving up fb for a week, i took my Lent one step further and closed my account to spend more time finding God in my life....it's refreshing!

why not give up RELIGION for lent instead? Religion is the ultimate POISON and ADDICTION. all of human will be doing us ALL a favor if people just gave up religion permanently. If religion never existed or all people gave up religion for the rest of their lives, humanity will finally reach its utopia. no crime, education and health would skyrocket, there would be tons of jobs available, relationships would be deeper, stronger and more meaningful. we would have world peace and TRUE community. do us all a favor and just give up god and religion. you dont need such poisons to live. atheists are happier than you ^_~ why not see what makes their lives so great :)
