Re: Happy Ramadhan!!

[dethtoll]

Back when I gave a damn about being Catholic my family did a lot of baking for Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent officially began and our family (and most Catholic families) forewent sweets until Easter. You're supposed to give up something for Lent and most people give up sweets.

Actually Lent was pretty much the final straw for me when I officially stopped observing and started moving towards atheism (with stops in deism, agnostic theism, and apatheism.) Back about 10 years ago my mom and I used to go out for dinner every Friday night. It was a place that had the best chicken sandwich ever (we're talking slabs of fried chicken breast as big as my head) and I loved it. But during Lent, you're not supposed to eat meat on Fridays. Mom gave me a bunch of shit about it, but because I loathe fish I just kept eating chicken. And I decided, you know what, any sort of religious rules that tell me I can't eat chicken on Friday isn't worth my time. So that year I gave up Catholicism for Lent. Come Easter, I figured I didn't really need it that bad.

Wait, sweets? I've heard of Hindus giving food during fasting and drink only water but sweets? (can't understand)

And about the fried chicken, I would love to see a head-sized chicken breast! Over here the city and kampung chickens are only about hand size and smaller.

The idea behind Lent is to give up something you enjoy, at least that's how it was with older Catholics. The standard in the US is candy, but it could be anything from TV to nights out. And if you go far enough back, meat was often forbidden for the entirety of Lent; at some point they changed the rules so you only had to not eat meat on Friday. Wendy's makes a lot of money off their fish menu during Lent, and they know it.

Ohh... okay, now I get it.

And big-budget food commercialism exists there too, huh? Kinda reminds me whenever a religious holiday comes around here and every fast-food store starts making foods that "celebrates the year". Never bought for it.

I think we invented it!
