Lent
Yet another man made ‘tradition’ not found in the bible.

There is nothing wrong with Lent. It's part of the church year. Sheesh.
There would be a problem if you are mandating behavior or treating Lent as a means of grace, but there is nothing wrong with observing Lent.
The church is allowed to create traditions and celebrations and observances. The problem comes when these traditions are given equal weight (or more) to scripture.
The knee jerk rejection of Lent is just as bad as all of the other instant rejections of anything perceived as Catholic.
Lent is the Christian time of preparation prior to Easter...How could it possibly be mentioned in the Bible??
Christians were not preparing for the Resurrection 40 days before it happened.
