LMAO this is way too easy..QuoteI don't feel any "different" now, it's something you get used to when you do it for so many years. When I was younger, I fasted because it was part of my religion and my parents kind of expected me to. [...]It's harder at the beginning, but as time goes on, it gets easier and actually becomes ordinary. Personally, I don't find fasting physically challenging, but there are some who do. The only time I can remember it being difficult was when I would have football or soccer practice/games while fasting. [...]To answer your question of why muslims fast, it is basically a way to put yourself in the position of someone who is poor and doesn't have food. You basically feel their "pain" in a lesser extent. [...] So, basically I put myself in someone else's shoes to feel what they go through (not to the same degree), and then I do something to help someone who goes through it. I really don't see how people can make retarded, narrow-minded comments like "god doesn't want them to enjoy life", when in fact, you're doing something to help someone.LoL.. I dont even have to add anything.. why the fuck does your religion want you to FEEL PAIN for christ's sake? So a good muslim is supposed to FEEL PAIN? What more need I say? Anyways, good to know. Seriously, if you don't recognize your contradictions and your hypocrisy you can't be very smart. Oh... and with fasting, you don't help ANYONE. Poor muslims in the middle-east aren't helped the slightest little bit with dudes like you fasting. What a lame excuse.

Well then tell me what is the point in not drinking for instance. Why? Good it's your choice, lol, whatever makes you sleep at night. Yet I know Muslims who don't drink cause they want to be good muslims. They fuck though, which is contradicting as a motherfucker. So if religion isnt the reason why you've chosen to do or not to things, how come you're fasting? You aint got no money or what? - and there we are contradicting ourselves again..Great to act like I said it was created to prevent ppl from having fun because it isnt fun.. that's just twisting it all up in order to sound smart to the retards who won't realize it, just like pointing out typos is. You think I don't notice if someone types necaccaryly instead of necessarily? However, I won't bother making a post just to point it out and ridicule the respective person. You do though, and therefore you think you're so smart. Do you act in real life like that? Cause if you do, I have to assume you ask veterans in wheel-chairs for a race, and when they say no you feel like Maurice Green when he got the 60-metre world record...Certain rules of religion usually seem to be there in order to prevent people from doing something. Sometimes, it's sensible, like not killing somebody or not stealing or what the hell. Other times, however, I can't see any purpose except preventing people from leading a happy life. Like telling it's bad to have sex unless its only purpose is reproduction, what the hell..Your weak ass comparisons ... school, doctors, cops, courts ... all have their respective purposes. Like education & helping people. What the hell is the purpose of things like not ever drinking/trying alcohol, not having sex unless youre married, fasting etc if not sticking to principles your religion gave you? And why would your religion say you should do it? Why? I understand why you shouldnt kill dudes and shit, but why the fuck this? The reason is to limit your fun. Now don't come around with stupid shit like "I can have fun without drugs" or bullshit like this. Why won't jews eat pork? Why won't muslims eat certain meat? Why would buddhists not eat any kind of animals..we all know those animals dont have the souls of former humans or shit like this, Lol, so why? ... I could go on for years.
One funny thing is how you always have to rely on obvious typos like this to make yourself feel better. But anyway, LoL I must have really got to you with that religion stuff. Disillusioned? Just stay out of this thread, if you can't stand criticism on your religion, or in this case religion as such.HAHA... now you signed off? Already giving up for the moment, and trying to work something out for later?I'm sure so, since you're obviously not the type of poster who'd log off in such a moment for another reason, you know it, I know it, the whole board knows it.
You say I don't help anyone? I help myself.
Then I help poor Muslims in the Middle East by sharing some of my money.
The actual fasting doesn't help them
By the way, I'm not going to blame you for not understanding what it means to feel one's "pain" (especially when I made it clear with quotation marks), since you don't even know the difference between expression and impression. It's not your fault, English is not your native language, so it's all good. It's just dumb of you when you say shit like "I have the expression" and try to argue. Shutting up will work in your benefit.

A lot of people choose not to drink simply because there are no real benefits to it. Some find it fun, some don't. However, the fact is that the negative effects of drinking outweigh the positive ones. It inhibits you from thinking in the same that you would if you were sober. It causes some people to make wrong decisions.You ask why Jews and Muslims don't eat pork. This question has less to do with questioning religion than it does with your ignorance. If you knew anything about religion, the reason why things were outlined the way they are, etc then you wouldn't have to ask questions like this and bash religion. I'm Muslim, so I'll tell you why Muslims don't eat pork. When an animal is slaughtered, vital organs could be damaged, blood could spread throughout the flesh, etc. and Muslims are prohibited from consuming any blood, which is why Muslims consume Halal meat. Halal meat (very similar to Kosher for Jews) is clean because the when meat is Halal, it means the animal was cut across the neck (jugular vein), so this causes a total loss of blood from the animal's body and no organs are injured. Since you're an idiot, I'll inform you that blood contains uric acid which is bad for our health. A pig can't be slaughtered at the neck simply because it doesn't have one... natural anatomy. Also, a pig excretes only 2% of its uric acid, so most of it remains in the body, which is why so many people in the past got sick from eating pork. It has to be very well prepared and thoroughly cooked (as does all meat, but in comparison the uric acid in pigs is a lot higher). It's also a scientific fact that people who consume pork face a greater risk of Rheumatism than people who don't. Any other dumb, ignorant questions?
By the way, the Qu'ran and the teachings of most religions actually go hand in hand with science on a lot of things. Of course, you, being the ignorant person that you are, wouldn't know that. "Religious" people (I'm speaking on behalf of Muslims) knew about a lot of things that scientists barely discovered in the last few centuries..... written in the Qu'ran over 1400 years ago. It took people thousands of years to realize these things, so how is this information in the Qu'ran? One could argue that Muhammed just happened to be a genius, good at guessing, or perhaps they actually were the words of God. It is up to each individual to decide whether they want to BELIEVE it or not, which is why religion is referred to as a BELIEF and is described with the word FAITH. If one doesn't believe it, then he/she doesn't, and nobody forces them to.
You also said that I contradict myself because I don't eat pork, but I fuck hoes. How is that a contradiction? Just because I do/don't do everything my religion has outlined as Do's/Dont's? All that would mean is that I'm not a perfect Muslim, or not too good of a Muslim, which I'll admit. But, there is nothing contradicting about it. Nobody is perfect in any sense of the word. My religion states that, and I know that, nobody is perfect, and nobody is expecting me to be. Nobody can judge me, except.. yea you guessed it...since I believe in God, "Only God Can Judge Me".
Well, as you are pretty fast and aggressive with judgement on other people, projecting your insecurities on other people, you have to expect to get it back sometimes.
I see that you have nothing left to say except "are you seriously implying.." , "fatass....", "scientific facts are smart-ass, stupid alibis".... shows that your mind is boggling to come with a real reply but simply can't manage to do so.... Step Up Your Game

By the way, all you've done is quote me without actually refuting anything. You asked why Muslims don't eat pork, and I told you why we don't. The only thing you've proven is your lack of knowledge. Lack of knowledge is no excuse "homie". Come on, I've studied in Europe, the educational system is pretty good there, what happened to you?
Once again you make a wrong assumption. If you check my IP, or ask Overseer to, you will see that I'm not at the same location. I'm on a slow ass fuckin computer, with a 56k modem on Netscape internet, so if I tried to quote a bunch of quotes n shit... it would probably freeze my comp.. it's sad but true...
By the way, I said that's the reason why Muslims don't eat pork. It's part of the religion, and the Qu'ran was written over 1400 years ago. I'm sure our advancement has enabled people to consume pork without getting sick, but times change, religion doesn't. I never explicitly stated that "I don't eat pork because it's bad for you". I'll tell you, it's because my religion has outlined that it's not good for me, and I believe that. I can believe what I want. All I did is give you scientific reasoning behind why this is/was true. I gave you more than what you asked for because I was answering your question, not arguing a point. You asked why Muslims don't eat pork, and I answered. You reply with "oh please.. so you're tellin me that u don't eat pork cuz its bad for u... please.. thats bullshit"... read what's written, not what helps you make feel better about yourself by creating the illusion of an argument won
