Passing out of hunger for god.
Quote:Air Force Academy's Muslim cadets denied accommodation during Ramadan
As Muslims around the world mark the month of Ramadan, some cadets at the Air Force Academy may need to push through rigorous physical training without food or water or forgo a few days of the holy fast.
In recent years, Muslim cadets have been excused from physical training to allow them to participate in Ramadan.
The cadet said he planned to fast, forgoing food and water from sun-up to sundown, during the physical training event following the academy’s decision.
“I would rather pass out than not participate,” he said of the importance of Ramadan.
The academy’s decision marks the first denial of a Ramadan accommodation in the last few years, the cadet said, while at the same time the school changed a major spring training event.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
