A few years back I gave up a particular food for Lent. A friend of mine (an atheist) saw me eating that food on a Sunday and indicated that she thought I was “cheating.” I explained that Sundays aren’t part of Lent and so don’t “count,” but she asked, “Doesn’t that defeat the point?”

How should I have responded?
