Kind of like not eating meat on Friday?

Many religions have ridiculous culinary customs.

I can not like them for being bloodthirsty a-holes. But picking on them for the details of their “customs” is not much fun. Some of our “customs” are stupid too. (Turkey for Thanksgiving, etc)

I read up on this the other day in a doctor’s office:

If you break you fast during Ramadan you can re-fast the day at the end of the month, or you can select days throughout the year to make it up.

My Bacon, 'tis of thee

Sweet smoked succulency,

My teeth I bring.

To chew your crispity,

Savor you endlessly

Wipe my mouth, greasily

Let free bacon ring:

Ahhhhhh---Meeeeeenn......

They should always brush their teeth before sex, especially if their breath is worse than the goat’s. It’s the courteous thing to do.

This is so because, due to change of taste in the mouth, if saliva is swallowed, then the fasting will be invalid. Therefore, be cautious.

Does this brilliant theologian of the religion of pieces not know you swallow saliva everyday hundreds of times....

Fasting or not...

“Using perfume is acceptable during fasting.

Those observing fast should be careful that the smell does not reach the throat, in which case they should re-fast.


Unbelievable!

Instead of swallowing your saliva, you should spit it on an infidel. If he complains, repeat, then call CAIR and the media to report his Islamaphobia. /Sharia

all though not mentioned in this article, part of Islamic fasting includes refrain from a bowel movement during Ramadan. No wonder muslims are so murderously mean and nasty. /s

The arctic circle was unknown to allahh at the time of moehammed.
Allahh is most perfect and knows everything in time and can change his mind to abrogate anything he may have said earlier.

Therefore it is permissible for the modern arctic moehammedan to observe the fast during time of daylight in mecca.

Straining at gnats; swallowing camels.

What is wrong with eating turkey on Thanksgiving?

I hate turkey.

Yes, I know it’s a personal thing. But I have been waging a family jihad against Turkey. Every year I get another convert. I think this is the year for us!

But seriously, telling someone in Africa that we sit down every year and eat this huge bird...they would probably look at you as if you were insane.

I wonder if you can do it by the hour. 2 hours on Tuesday, 3 hours on Thursday, etc.

So a huge ham makes more sense?

They probably have rules for that. It seems they spent the last 700 years figuring out how to make you miserable.
