"I have always admired the self discipline of Ramadan. When I was a student, one of my house mates practised fasting and to help him we would not cook and eat durring daylight hours in the house. So we would go to other students digs and eat there. Most faiths have or have some form of fasting, but overtime we don't follow the tradition anymore.

"A philosophy I understand is taoism Dates about 3 thousand years predating Buddhism Hinduism judahism christianity and Islam My reading leads me to think fasting rituals came from there also the kindness introduced to Judaism has taoist flavours | |||

Taoism comes from China
It's not abrahamic it does predate and is the for father of Hinduism and buddhism
It's also a predecessor of tantra and the karma sutra "Yes Taoism does come from China. Yes it is not Abrahamic. I did a quick Google... However, according to some, Taoism formed into a religious system within the lands of China sometime around the 4th or 3rd century BCE. Being the first to receive the inspiration of the Tao, some site Lao-tzu as the firstTaoist philosopher and the author of the Taoist texts known as the Tao-te Ching. First, scholars now agree that the term Chaldeans is almost assuredly an anachronism, as it refers to a Semitic people who didn't show up in Ur until the 7thcentury B.C Abraham, by contrast, would have lived 1,300 years earlier, closer to 2,000 B.C Most scholars believe Hinduism startedsomewhere between 2300 B.C. and 1500 B.C. in the Indus Valley, near modern-day Pakistan. So you're right it seems to predate these. | |||

Taoism is older but far more eastern
There are of course many religions God myths that predate the abrahamic ones
"Islam is based upon judiasm hmm they come from the same source as does Christianity so thats true in one way sure. Yes true many god myths out there. | |||

As some may say happy xmas or Easter
We would not say happy lent ?
Again let me take nothing away from the good intentions ment by happy Ramadan
But "happy" kind of detracts from its purpose
Eid however now there is a celebration and something to wish happiness and merriment
I maybe an atheist yet the philosophical side of Ramadan is something I advocate and is reflected in many humanist philosophies
Focus self control reflection on humanity and ones roll to pass on positivity and kindness
And a damn good celebration at the end
So those participants
Hold strong and may you find the inner peace and understanding you quest
That’s fine but a lovely gentleman I used to work with enjoyed the time enormously, he enjoyed the praying and the fasting, it enforced his faith which he was very proud of, and most certainly enjoyed the find after it had ended when all the family had a huge meal together and he could give me a hug n kiss again "Your right ! | |||
