I don't see anything biblical about a modem either. Best to just disconnect.
How hard can the question be? We are not discussing computers and modems, we are discussing religious activity - activity that is, if I am not mistaken, mandatory for all Roman Catholic believers (and a few Anglicans, as well) - So I am asking for Scriptural references for "Mardi Gras" and "Lent." - or is it that it is a "tradition" of the Church, without scripture justification? I don't care what your answer is, I would just like an answer. Again, how hard is that?
