Thread: Non-Muslims, tried Fasting?

  1. #1

    Default Non-Muslims, tried Fasting?

    Alright, let Hazzard explain the situation; Comet, an eyesonff member and my close friend offered to do fasting this year, considering it's his religion. This is his first day, and mine, because I agreed to go on this 30-day spiritual fast with him.

    And, hey, the rules are hard - No Swearing, no drinking or eating until the evening (7.23 pm) no violence, and worst of all, no sexual contact - that's right, I can't even do much with a girl...

    The question is, do you think this Non-Muslim boy will survive this treacherous experience, or will I crack?

    I'll post frequently, and feel free to post opinions on the subject!

    I've fasted before, but never to the point of omitting my daily lifestyle (language, sexual contact, etc).

    You'll crack.

    The only fasting I've done was the "I'm depressed about my weight so let's not eat for 3 days" fast. D: I wouldn't do it for anything other than that.

    You could do it if you really wanted to, but why would you want to?

    Wait, I'm confused. Is it this evening, or the evening of 30 days time?

    I suspect that's why he's doing it. That, or he's trying to support his religious friend in this whole fasting business.

    I did a 24 hour fast once. My dad sponsored me £10. But... I forgot to give the money into the school, and the £10 mysteriously vanished.

    Good luck.

    Im not Muslim, but I have loads of Muslim friends who are all struggling at school. The trick is to eat loads at breakfast and loads at dinner. I cba to do that though.

    Well, fasting has its own advantages like, for people who like to do a diet and people who have problems with stomach. For me fasting is a problem cause I get huangry. The time that you shouldn't eat is too long.

    But other than not eating I continue all my other things. Some girls in my cauntry wear these things on their heads to hide their hair, how ridiculous! cause after the month is over they take it off and that's so forbidden in Islamic religion. Anyway, I don't wear it wheather fasting or no, and it's better that way.

    I think fasting is fun.... sometimes...

    I think only eating in the morning and evening for a month or so is insane, religion or not

    The only fasting I have done is not eating for a while. I wouldn't do anything else.

    Good luck.
