Yep starving yourself all day for a while because someone 4000 years ago told you to.

No, this festival is about where one of their religious people was going to sacrifice his son to God to prove his loyalty, but God gave him a sheep instead.

Incorrect. Last eid was after after fasting. This eid Muslims celebrate the festival of Eid -Ul –Adha in remembrance of prophet Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his son Ishmael to God.

Get your facts right nobhead.

Sorry I often get confused when there is so many idiotic quirks contained within a single religion. I'm glad you pointed out that it wasn't the un-healthy fasting side of things and more celebrating a prophet with such poor morals that he was prepared to sacrifice his own son to a possibility of god.

Read the rules aswell as calling someone a nob-head isn't allowed, though I will let you off for being a bit of a noob.

Lol I completely misread this thread,

I thought Eid Mubarak was a dude, and he was going to die today

Fasting can be very healthy in fact, as any dietician will attest.

Jay794 · 6 Nov 2011 at 13:11

How can not eating be healthy? it pretty much stops your metabolism

Nitefly · 6 Nov 2011 at 13:11

Have a good one.

Im not an atheist though, where have I ever said that I am. And it's people like you with your reactions to anyone who even slightly opposes a religion that makes me wonder about what religion stands for and creates, I mean just take a step back and look at yourself, oh and calm down. :cool:

Happy Eid everyone.

Billythekid: please calm down with the insults and remember this is meant to be a celebration, it's not worth getting irate because someone asks what you think is a silly question.
