There's nothing like giving up something you love or think you can't live without to prove that your faith is in good shape.

Technically, you're supposed to start your self-imposed deprivation at the onset Lent, which is on Ash Wednesday (February 15 this year) and keep it up until Easter Sunday (April 4 this year). Alas, many Catholics (obviously not subjected to catechism) think that they're only supposed to suffer on Good Friday and Black Saturday–the days when Jesus is allegedly indisposed.

Still, we're giving you a list of things that you may give up for your 48-hour Holy Week Challenge. Two days is a hell of a lot easier than 40 days. You better be able to do it–or God's going to turn you into a pillar of salt.

Cool transfiguration. When you're already delirious from the heat, you may consider crafting your own aircon. If you can't be holy, get creative.

1. Aircon. Unrepentant souls burn in hell. But don't despair. We've got good news for you. You can start atoning for your sins in installments by doing without the glorious coolness of your aircon. The punishing El Niño heat is nothing compared to eternal damnation.

State of disgrace. When you look and act like this when you're wasted, go see a priest. You may be possessed. If not, that's 1,000 Our Fathers a day for you for the rest of your life. Warning: The video is not safe for work, kids, cute furry animals, and other sensitive creatures.

2. Alcohol. Jesus Christ only approves of liquor when it's his mom asking him for it and if it's going to be served at a wedding. So, if you're just going to chug some alcohol to celebrate the milestones of your life or drown your sorrows, you're committing a sin. Substance-induced happiness is not the path to righteousness. (Unless, of course, you're just sniffing Pentel Pen fumes or rugby. We don't think the Vatican has classified those as sins yet. Enjoy without guilt while you can.)
