I am deeply sorry that I offended anyone by my remark about fasting.

What prompted me to even make the statement in the first place is by remembering some people I knew in college. They'd ever so piously fast on Wednesdays and Fridays, then go get stinking drunk and shack up for the night. I thought it was hypocritical at the time and still do. Unfortunately, I think that disgust somehow came out over the keyboard, but I certainly didn't want it to sound as if I was pointing fingers at anyone in particular (except those I was in school with, and if you're here, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!).

And PreciousJeni, I am in complete agreement with your statement: "And, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with high-liturgy or low-liturgy when one's heart is set for God." That's what being a Christian is all about to me.
