abstaining from chocalate really is this fasting ?? i left church for islam 2002
Did you fast as a Christian? Now that you also have experience of Ramadan, how does the fasting compare? How do the feasts at the end of fasting compare? Was there some kind of recognition looking back, about any similarities? Or did anything feel familiar during your first fast in Ramadan?
Fasting is interesting.
When someone fasts for lent...giving up chocolate or something specific.that they like for 30 days that is one aspect.
When someone fasts during Ramadan, they feast after the sun sets everyday.
When someone is on a dietary fast, food, or a particular food is eliminated for days...no breaks...
Me? I fast from the time I fall asleep...everyday...once a day...till I break the fast...at breakfast. And then I fast again...till lunch, lol.
Fasts are what you make of them...and looking down your nose in session at what others do or call fasting...that speaks more about you than them.
