Does this mean the Homosexuals and Lesbians are "going straight" by giving up that lifestyle they wilfully chose or just going to Hell?

It means that your ignorance will be with you until the day you die. How does it feel, having such a closed mind? |

Pancakes? What's up with that? Is it some kind of cult intitiation?

Pancakes and doughnuts are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. The liturgical fasting emphasized eating plainer food and refraining from food that would give pleasure: In many cultures, this means no meat, dairy, or eggs. |
