Against your will? How are you forced to fast. If you don't truly believe in fasting it does not really count. Sorry to go religious on you.
Then please help me explain it to my parents, especially the part of where I never was that religious and actually consider myself agnostic these days, maybe even atheist.
inb4 mibuchiha goes postal on my ass for using the term agnostic.
Though I come from an catholic family and was educated with catholic ideologies/perspectives/stuff... I consider myself agnostic too, seeing as how The Holy Bible is slowly changing it's "never changing always apliable" rules.
Also, c'mon, evolution? Like totally true
Also, OP I have no fucking idea what you are talking about, I've probably only have heard the word 'fasten' only once b4 and WTF is this... Ramadan?
People who are religious look to false deities in hopes of feeling secure that humans aren't the only sentient beings in the universe as well as explaining things that they feel are unexplainable but probably can with science.
Being an infidel is indeed sweet during this month. That being said, I do sincerely hope that none of you poor lot enduring this undertaking have anything happen to you due to poor nutrition and/or exhaustion. Should you reconsider your undertaking I would congratulate you for having forgone your servility for your bodily needs. Although you can eat at night and keep within the technicalities of your faith, don't overexert yourselves and wind up a casualty of your ideology. I would rather see a healthy Muslim than a half-starved human (which would lend credit to my claim that religion is harmful to the individual in more ways than one). In essence, be safe and don't get yourself in a bad spot for affirming your beliefs which, although I may disagree with, are your right to believe in.

With the exception of Freaky's type of Gnosticism, agnosticismis not a stance on the God hypothesis, I just want to get that out there, agnosticism runs perpendicular to theism, at least by the definition of the word. Gnostic means "knowing", but as theists haven't proven that a God can exist, and the idea of proving that something doesn't exist is preposterous, there is no "knowing". Both sides can say that there is a conclusion which can be drawn from the evidence given, but until evidence appears it is speculation at best. I can say with confidence that, given the information available to me that there probably isn't a God, and a deist can say that there might be a "God" (although probably the physicist's "God" which rules out an interventionary God) and the pantheist can say perhaps there are many Gods, as well as the theist who claims that there is a God, however with no actual evidence an act or profession of "knowing" is a mockery of the word. You can be a theist, pantheist, deist or an atheist and you are necessarily agnostic because you can never know with 100% certainty that there is no God, and outside of meeting the burden of proof and presenting a well thought out case for a God to exist, you cannot claim to be 100% certain of it either. Everyone alive is agnostic on the hypothesis necessarily and by definition (again, not the religious version of being gnostic). As for my conclusions I see the hypothesis cut away by Ockham's razor, a God isn't necessary for the phenomenon we observe to exist and adding unnecessary elements to the theory doesn't make sense.
Sorry, I just had to say... You can go back to not reading this...
