I should add that the best argument I've seen in favour of fasting is that you're showing solidarity with those who are starving. Still, that doesn't mean you should stop drinking water like the Muhammadans do. I find it hard to accept that a deity would want you to harm yourself and I don't understand how it brings one "closer to a deity". Is that something that can be quantified?
