Thanks, but I don't celebrate the Prophet's birthday (Mawlid). We are not supposed to do anything special on his birthday.

Funny that the "Birthday of your Prophet" coincides with an agricultural process involving sheep & goats.

But have a great day anyway Angel

Your religion sounds more and more boring the more I learn about it. So you don't celebrate the birth of the person who bought you the word of god? And when you do celebrate you just starve yourselves for a month. It's a non stop party being a muslim aint it?!

Exactly. Religious holidays only aid the brainwashing.

Actually,Islam has some great holidays/celebrations:

The end of Ramadan is a beaut, PLUS, some countries remember 9/11 with almost as much relish as the original event,when there was actually dancing in the streets.I shit you not.Devil

Who said my religion is all party and games?

Also, it's not that hard to fast for 12 hours. We don't really starve ourselves. If we have the intention and the determination to do it, and remember that we will be rewarded for the fasting, then it becomes easier for us make it through the whole month without feeling too much hungry. After the fasting month is over, the Muslims become both spiritually and physically more energized than before.

Do YOU celebrate Mawlid? If so, then why do celebrate it if you're an atheist? Is it similar to how some atheists like to celebrate Christmas?
