[Mod note. Below is a response to a post , sent to Hell, lacking in the spirit of the season.]
C'mon Azari! No torture here. It feels goood. Clean the body, lose some weight, put things into perspective.
How many people across the globe have to fast year round in conditions much worst than mine. And not by choice.
It makes me ever so thankful for the clean water I can afford for my kids!
Not sure about heaven, but the virgins here on earth are oh so much fun...
(Oh crap! Bad thoughts in a holy month. 10 more days of fast for me )

Re: Spirit of the Season
Azari,
This,
Fasting is not about torture, it is about getting to you in touch with the majority of the planet at their most desperate.
AND, hunger knows no religion.
That, is humanitate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Fitr
For Muslims, both the festivals of Eid al-fitr and Eid al-adha are occasions of showing gratitude to God and remembering him, and are an occasion of entertainment. ‘A’ishah narrates that when on an Eid day her father Abu Bakr stopped young girls from singing, Muhammad said: Abu Bakr! [Let them sing]; every nation has an ‘id and [this day] is our Eid. August 20, 2012

Canterbury Tales
Every year on September 19 (today), thousands of people assemble at the cathedral in Naples to witness the miracle of the blood of Saint Januarius. This miracle has occurred annually since AD 1389.*
Saint Januarius was the bishop of Naples and received the palm of martyrdom under Diocletian's persecution of the Catholic Church (ca. AD 303).
Somehow samples of the martyr's blood were acquired and stored in a small vial. Today, this vial contains a dark reddish dried residue.
On the feastday, the archbishop of Naples holds up the reliquary containing the blood and shows that the vials contain the dry and solid remains of blood. Next, the archbishop places the reliquary on top of the altar of Saint Clare along with the bones of the saint.
The people begin to pray and shout and then the blood begins to liquify. The archbishop then moves the reliquary around to show that the once solid contents are not liquid (see video below). The Neapolitans commemorate the miracle with a 21 gun salute. The liquified blood remains in the vial on the altar for 8 days.
Here's a video of the miracle:

Have you seen the black Halloween trees they have now? It's like a Christmas tree but it's black and you hang Halloween decorations on it. Guess there's a market for them

Re: Spirit of the Season
yeah....... but here's the rebuttal........
I'd have to go against snopes on this one, and the reason isn't people buying pricey gifts for Halloween so much as they are NOT buying them (or at least as much....) for Christmas........
