Yeah he probably refers to studies about Polynesians, where a selective pressure can be identified. This is not the case for Ramadan.

I am not against people enjoying their Ramadan, whatever makes you happy, but I am quite sure there is some social pressure involved, and I hate that idea. I am sure glad I got rid of any religious ties.

QFT, personally I would never do something potentially unhealthy for my body such as fasting, especially if it involves skipping out on liquids.

There is some social pressure involved in almost any activity people do, whether you are religious or not.

That doesn't mean we cannot reduce the amount of unnecessary social pressure. But I feel pressured now to stop derailing the thread, which is actually a healthy pressure for an internet forum. So happy Ramadan everyone!

on topic:
I fully support the idea of ramadan in the sense you take a month to try and rid yourself of habits you have accumilated by your daily routine, I think it's a healthy 'spell check' on your person, it does not have to include starvation however.

no, lamarckism would be if I implied these changes in metabolic rate were ingrained in the germline makeup, which I didn't, if you read my post...

changes in an indivuduals expression of DNA that is not part of the germline can be just as hereditary without being actually connected to the genes, in this case by hereditary culture (religious practice)

I realize I'm not helping this thread with this I just felt I should respond

The idea of Ramadan was developped much closer to the equator. This means the environment it was ment to be used in would not have 16 hour long days during the summer. Anyways what would a muslim do should he arrive to the north pole where the sun never sets for half a year?

I believe in such a scenario he should only fast for a limited amount of time(13 hours i think?). Well, fasting this year is easy anyway.. thanks to SC2. :D

Well that's maybe your way of fasting, but Muslims can't eat/drink/smoke/chew bubble gums nor do anything like that during Ramadan from sunrise to sunset.

During the summer it's a bit harder because of longer days, however if you truly are a believer it won't come as impossible. It's the matter of faith and it's also a good way to clean your body completely and put your digestive system to rest.

I don't think that ramadan is unhealthy in anyway, unless you have a medical condition, however claiming health benefits like 'clean your body completely' and 'putting your digestive system to rest' is pseudo-science, on par with 'detox' diets and nonsense like that.

Just enjoy it for the cultural celebration, and the 'makes me enjoy/appreciate food' (a poster above stated) aspects without trying to create some physical benefit crap.

Yeah, I find fasting to be pretty easy and sometimes end up fasting longer than needed - I already eat very little. It's just really difficult not being able to drink after you run or somehting, makes you regret it the whole day .

I wish I could somehow manage to "practice" every religion and get all the holidays

Cheers Muslims, I disagree with your beliefs but I agree with your celebrations. Partying is the most human thing there is. ^_^

It appears people cannot resist taking a thread about a religious festival that a large percentage of the population of Earth enjoy and using it to bash on a religion. That in turn compels people to respond which just further derails. Please remain on topic.

People are misinterpreting Ramadan here as a "party" or a "culture" When in actual Ramadan is the month when Muslims believe that the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual activities from dawn until sunset. Fasting is intended to teach Muslims about patience, humility, and spirituality. It is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of Allah and to offer more prayer than usual. During Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds. As compared to the solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving backwards about ten days each year depending on the moon.

So in other words I dont understand where the party comes in? The fast is intended to be an exacting act of deep personal worship in which Muslims seek a raised awareness of closeness to God.

Muslims also fast to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the inner soul and free it from harm. It also teaches Muslims to practice self-discipline, self-control,sacrifice, and empathy for those who are less fortunate; thus encouraging actions of generosity and charity.
