Re: What should we do…
I get celebrating Eid or just sitting down for iftaar but I don’t starvation could be put in the same category. Take religion out of the equation and willfully depriving yourself of water doesn’t seem like the smartest thing to do. I guess people who grew up in religion optional households\countries think differently but to me religion causes more harm than good.
An American Citizenship is immaterial to the case of me not being able to rid myself of religion in the country I grew up in, the country I called home all these years. Besides, there are plenty of Pakistanis in Pakistan who have no option but to hide their kaafirness, their true selves, because of the country’s theocratic constitution.
There seems to be a special appeal to fasting even for nonmuslims and I don’t know why. We arent rational beings, most what we do in life is directed by emotions.
