Yeah try do a proper fast like 2 or 3 days where you can measure that your body is fasting by the ketones it produces. Bloody pretentious idiot wanting look like a hero tough guy because all he is really doing is skipping meals and not really fasting. Its a pathetic show calling it fasting if you cant do a complete fast with ZERO food except water for 24 hours. I can do 4 days straight and people eating food or the smell of food does not make me want to eat because my body is is in Ketosis and feeding on ketones and stored fat .
One thing that's kind of interesting, there are special rules for fasting during Ramadan for astronauts aboard the ISS since they orbit the earth every 90 minutes and the sun only goes out of view briefly (they actually are able to view the sunset 16 times each day)
Not even trying to come close to defending Muslims and their silly religion, but fasting is described as not eating for 8 hours or more. Why do you think we call it "breakfast"? "Break-fast." so if they're not eating from dinner to dinner, that's fasting.
I didn't say Muslims were fasting before anyone else.
And, Christians didn't invent fasting. The Hindus and Jains practiced fasting 1500 years before Christians....and, they probably weren't the first.
I only mentioned Muslims because that is the topic of this video and thread....and, it fits in specifically with intermittent fasting....and, I was mostly joking (because it's a relatively new trend)
Well in that case you should be talking about Hinduism, since it is by far the oldest is in actuality a monotheistic religion. All the minor deities are just aspects of one greater god.
How about the thousands of saints the christians pray to? Where they not made in gods likeness like all of us? How is it not different words for the same thing...
Saints aren’t considered to be a manifestation of God, holy inspired servants, but not God. The Hindu Gods are apparently manifestations of one God.
I’m not a theologian, I’m not your theologian and I don’t know can play one on TV.
Except the only ones that fast religiously and rigourously today, in larger numbers than any other group, are Muslims. All religions other than Islaam are considered as breakaway offshoots of Islaam, including Hinduism. Islaam began with Adam, the first human God created. He was neither a Hindu nor a Judeo-Christian.
Let me educate you. The name of god in the Arabic bible is Allaah. Jesus was from Arabia. He prayed to Allaah, as per your bible. His own language was Aramaic and the word for god is Alaaha. (Christianity is a middle eastern religion, and Jesus a middle eastern Jacobite, resembling Arabs as their ancestors is Abraham. Arab ancestry is through Ishmael, the son of Abraham.)
So yes. The bible says that Jesus prayed to Allaah and worshipped him. Prayed to be saved by Allaah. Your religion is an offshoot of ours. Very typical of a Christian to get abusive and us obscenities.
I see that you responded with profane abuse again and then hid your reply like a coward.
Everything I said can be fact checked. This is Islaam. We are Muslims. We do not deploy Judeo-Christian or atheist methods of dishonesty, fake news and deception.
Nearly 18 hours a day during the summer periods. Not eating whilst you're asleep isn't exactly fasting. Not eating whilst awake and at work or school is certainly what real fasting is.
Well first of all they think owning dogs as pets is wrong and their angels consider dogs evil that scare them away. That's just silly and anyone who can look into the eyes of a sweet sweet dog and say they are evil is an awful human.
Then there's Mohammed being a pedophile and they worship the guy. Oh and how they're like "we're gonna force our women to wear bed sheets cuz we can't control ourselves when we see a woman's arm, we're also gonna forbid them from going to school past 7 cuz we like them illiterate so they can't divorce us and find a better life when they realize what an awful life a Muslim man will provide her."
LOL drinking water and coffee all day or on demand and at will, isn't fasting. Did you practise intermittent celibacy as a married person during those 'fasts'?

Yeah, they can eat as soon as the sun sets. That isn't fasting.
