Ramadan ... what's that all about??

Well now, let me see. One was an honours degree from London University and the other was a four year Masters at one of this country's leading universities (not many subjects take four years to complete a Masters - that's full time mind you, with intensive summer courses thrown in as an extra.) Not too bad for someone with only half a brain.
Out of interest, have you ever opened a book on hermeneutic spirals or systematic theology? I wouldn't if I were you, you might find the words a bit long. . .
But maybe you are right. Maybe it really is a piece of cake. So how come you have to start a thread entitled "What's that all about"? Where exactly does that place YOU on the evolutionary ladder then?
Anyway, I'm still waiting for your understanding of the significance of Lent. I mean, you do know, don't you? After all, you've declared it to be almost as stupid as Ramadan. Hang on a minute, though, you have already told us you don't understand what Ramadan is all about, so how can you compare Lent to it? Has someone else maybe borrowed the brain cell for a couple of days?
Still, thanks muchly for illustrating once again that it is some of the irreligious on here who are the real ignorant bigots. That's not a judgement on you, though, merely a opinion, so I hope that's okay.

It is indisputably true, and it's indefensible to imply otherwise -that is my insincere and ill-considered input.

I suppose it would be a shock for some people here to realise that Brighton has Muslim supporters....
I'm in my second week of fasting for Ramadan. I've been to work every day and worked a full day every day. I have not worked less nor have I felt ill enough to need a rest. In fact my colleagues notice absolutely no difference in my behaviour... except that I don't have a huge sandwich at my desk at lunchtime
You cannot eat big meals in the morning or the evening because your stomach shrinks when you're afsting. If people are eating big meals it means that
a) they always eat big meals
or b) they are doing themselves some serious harm.
The point of ramadhan is that for thirty days and nights all humans are equal. No matter from where you come from you remember what it is like to feel hungry and thirsty... just like so many people have to feel throughout the year. the idea is that as we remember we will then be more sympathetic to those who are less well off us than us. Which is why at the end of Ramadhan all Muslims also pay a tax which goes directly to looking after the poor and needy.
Please don't judge the book by the cover and do not judge all Muslims by the lazy fat ones. There are bad people in all religions.

As a man from Muslim origins, I couldn't have put it better myself. Spot on.

Not all atheists are bigots though, there are people who understand religion, but choose not to believe in it. I'm an atheist, and dont subject anyone else to "dogma, abuse and bigotry" just because they believe in something that i dont.
No, I didn't say you, personally, did. However Atheists outnumber Believers on here and it doesn't take long for any religious thread to bring out all the "simpletons believing in imaginary friends" type posts - and they're the polite ones!ben andrews' girlfriend said:

There's another attempt to generalise people by their belief. Now it's atheists who are bigoted racists!
I'm glad I'm not an atheist, or a member of any religious group, so I can avoid being generalized.

This thread is disgusting.
Everyone should know by now that only Juan Albion is allowed to comment on Religion on account of his extensive study of middle eastern myths. I mean 4 years on a masters degree you can't argue with that.

Its his vocation, not just his job, you might not agree with him but he speaks far more knowledgeably than most on the subject.
Don't knock his beliefs just because they aren't yours, there's plenty of things I don't agree with but far be it from me to make some of the asinine remarks made on this thread. I thank all religion is questionable but that's just my opinion and I don't speak for anybody else.
