"Why I Don't Observe Lent"
Nobody is demanding you either read it OR agree with it. Got it?
Nobody - not even the author - denies the place and benefits of fasting in a Christian's life. So why the blasting and blustering just because someone discusses the history of the practice and why one chooses to observe it differently? We have some blatant, anti-anyone-but-Catholic-Christians here and it becomes pretty obvious when one dares post something like this. I wonder why the panic? What are they afraid of?
You are right. No one makes anyone read any thread on here. God bless.
