[QUOTE="BossPerson"]

[QUOTE="GazaAli"] I'm curious why do you still fast in Ramadan?GazaAli

mainly because my parents do it. Also, i like the values that go with it; patience, humility, etc. But when sunset starts at 9:15 pm here in Canada, I wont be doing it. There are limits. And I dont think mohamed would have thought the sun could set that late, because I know that the sun sets earlier in the middle east.

This is in no way an attack on you, but I really don't like when people that do not believe in a faith or a tradition anymore but keep doing it in order not to clash with their surrounding. I may be wrong though and it may be the wise thing to do, but I often find myself vocal about things I do not believe in and refuse any pressure to force to it, but yea there are limits because I can think of certain events when I couldn't say NO in everyone's face.

Well my parents know I dont really believe in Islam. They think Im deist, which is close enough imo. But I only fast because the rest of my family does.

If you were an atheist, would you tell everyone in Gaza you were?

My parents were convinced Pokemon and Yugioh were demon monsters and did away with all my cards and games when I was young, forbid me from watching the shows. Wasn't allowed to read Harry Potter as well.

Of course I still read/watched/played all of those things I just had to be careful about it :P
