Ramadan Kareem!! (33 Viewers)

[Fake Melo]

My family are all Christians, yet they never fast.

It probably is from person to person. Not all Muslims fast either, but I think some Christians do fast in easter.

Don't they fast on easter?

No, how so?

Among Polish catholics it's a custom that you don't eat meat on Fridays. But if you press people on that they'll tell you that it's more of a tradition than anything else. Still, eating fish instead is not fasting, is it?

The only type of fasting Christians do, if you want me to call it like that, is not to eat meat and/or sweets for 40 days around Easter. Don't ask me about the exact dates. It has got more to do with refraining from eating your preferable type of food than just necessarily those I specified, as some sort of sacrifice.

That's not exactly like what Muslims do, isn't it?

I see. I am not totally sure but I think I've heard something about Christians and fasting in easter.

Ahh, that's not what Muslims do

Well, I am not THAT hungry yet, but the hunger slowly dies with time

So far so good I say.

Are you saying that you get less and less hungry the longer you fast? Interesting finding. How long can you keep this going?

Till I collapse

But sometimes the hunger strikes like Amauri in the stands, eventually it eases down.

I know, that's why most of the non-Muslims find it meaningless.

But a serious question, is there some kind of penitence if a Muslim is caught eating\drinking\etc. during the day in Ramadan?

Its not like there's some special kind of police that monitors if you fast or not.

Anyone can eat/drink without getting caught if they wanted to. Thats not the point though, if you're a muslim then you believe that God is omnipotent and omniscient, which of course means that there is no way you can eat/drink without there being a penalty. Though not a worldly penalty if thats what you're asking.

What sort of penalty applies then?

 

[Fred]

Any penalty that would apply would be in the "hereafter"

Meh.

Hey you never know, maybe we're missing out.

I have to say that the feeling after you finally break your fast and have a nice meal is sensational, you never really appreciate food this much any other time. I'm tempted to be an asshole and put up pics of food to spite Melo, but because of the Ramadan spirit, i won't. Hang in there Fake Melo

So the real motive is gluttony? Abstain from food now so that you can get a bigger high later?

Is that why certain members ask to be banned these days, so that once the ban expires they'll enjoy the forums more?
