An ex-muslim fasting ramadan

[Brian37]

I still sneak in some water and food.  And I live in Lebanon, so it is now hot.  
Ramadan is the 9th month and considered special, where Muslims have to fast from dusk till sunset, they abstain from food, water, tobacco, and sex. And 

Dusk is technically "sunset".
See this topic:

Fasting takes place from "Sunrise" until "Sunset".
In other words; from "Dawn" until "Dusk".
See this verse:

Sura 2, Page 29, The Quran:
( 187 )   It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allah, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah make clear His ordinances to the people that they may become righteous.

So it begins at dawn, and ends at sunset.

In 2014 or 2012 Northen Lebanon, islamists threw a grenade at a restaurant or cafe during ramadan.

At iftar (when Muslims break their fast) they gorge on multiple platters in starvation quickly, which is harmful to the digestive system, and they wake up in the dusk to eat before engaging their fast, causing morning heartburn and weight gain. 

?
America just dropped a MOAB and fired cruise missiles at Syria?
There was an explosion yesterday in Afghanistan that dropped more than 90 civilians dead?


Lebanon biggest problem is the drug cartels controlling its ghettos?
Gas in Lebanon is so expensive, I don't think it's affordable by the mainstream worker?


And you whine about a grenade thrown at a cafe? 
So is the whining you spread, any more authentic than the imaginary dusk to sunset Ramadan you go through?

What a waste of time..whining and whining.

Secularism and atheism are nothing but freedom to drink whiskey, shag women on public and fart on the nearest hand grenade toss to you; I bet ><

Secularism merely means "neutral" as in "neither for or against any label, but treat everyone equally under the law"

I don't see how atheism has anything to do with booze, or orgies in public, atheists are a MINORITY in America, Christians are the majority.

FYI in most locations outside your own house, or outside a bar, in most places in America drinking in public is ILLEGAL. And while there are nudist camps and even swingers clubs, not even sex in public is legal. 

I love how some people work up this childish delusional "lawlessness" of the west.

I have a local gas station I walk to frequently to buy beer. Even if I had that beer in a paper bag, and was drinking it in public walking home, that would give a police officer probable cause to stop me, and if I was drunk, even without driving, arrest me. If I was not drunk, could still make me poor it out give me a warning, or write me a ticket for drinking in public. 

The reality is I only have the right to buy the beer, NO DRINKING AND DRIVING, or even walking drunk, take my beer home and at best drink it in my back yard or on my porch or in my house.
