There is no point in torturing your body and mind by fasting or
denying yourself the pleasure of alcohol in the name of religion.
Life is too short, enjoy while you can.Comment

Nah, it's the same as teasing anyone who's fasting, dieting or who has just become vegetarian. If you're hungry, bacon sandwiches always smell great.Originally posted by SandyDown View PostI find it strange that Muslims are teased about the bacon thing, Jews don't eat bacon too and no one seems to tease them about it.
One of my Jewish colleagues was asked if he was orthodox, he replied "Well, it's funny you should ask, because the saturday afternoon, as I walked down the highstreet to the diy store, eating a bacon sarnie and drinking a glass of milk..."Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Yeah, but if you do it right, then after you die, you get 70 virgins, or something. Mind you, if they stay virgins, I guess it isn't that much fun...Originally posted by Andy2 View PostThere is no point in torturing your body and mind by fasting or
