Lent is not harmless religion

Over church history, the institution we know as the Roman Church sought to "Christianize" many pagan, destrutive pratices. Lent is one of those seasonal practices. Lent as we know it today did not exist before the fourth century, and the church leaders in league with Constantine brought the many differing forms of fastings and practices into one conforming practice. But we discover in this lessson that God is not indifferent to these observances, nor should we be.
