Well, for the next three days, a lot of Christians fast because of the fact that its the Christian holiday of Fast Water.
Do you fast (if your a christian)? |

Fast? is that where you don't eat food? I thought that was for Islamics?
Do you mean lent? Where you give up a food? I don't know.... But I'm not Christian.. so I wouldn't know. |

"Fast Water"---i've never herd of that holiday....
but i've fasted before... the true fasting, where u really mean it. And it doesn’t mean that u can’t eat, fasting really means giving up something that u usually do during the day (like tv /computer) and spend time with God (like read the bible and praying)..... |

i don't do it for that holiday [never even heard of it..maybe it's a catholic holiday or something..hmm..] but i do it every year with my youth group for 30 hours..we make it a sleepover/activity etc so we forget about our stomachs =D and we get to drink juice every so often. it's fun. we have shaving cream fights!

o.O I dont really see how it should be in food considering that the defination for the food forum is share your recipes and favorite foods and how this is not really about food but about the spirtuality of christianity o.O
haha, i shall move it back mr. silly. I put it in the lounge on purpose. I was thinking about it at first but I didnt think it should be in food :P. |
