Muslim: You Christians don’t fast. Your religion is weak. No prayer, no fasting, just sin everywhere: prostitution and clubs. Me: Let’s start with the fasting first. We’ll get to the other accusations later. Did you say Christians don’t fast? Muslim: Yes. Christians don’t fast. Look around, Muslims are fasting right now. Me: Oh, Christians fast. We just don’t make noise about it like you all do. Muslim: What do you mean “make noise”? Who told you Muslims make noise? Me: Literally the whole world knows Muslims are fasting. It’s on TV, radio, social media, newspapers, everyone knows. Muslim: Yes, we announce it so people won’t provoke us. Me: Provoke you how? Muslim: Like eating in public or eating in front of us. Me: Wait… so because you’re fasting, hungry people shouldn’t eat? Muslim: It’s about respect. When Christians fast, we wouldn’t eat in front of them either. Me: Hold on. I thought you just said Christians don’t fast. Muslim: Well… I’ve never seen any Christian fasting in my life. Me: Exactly. That’s because they don’t announce it. They don’t even tell their family or friends. Jesus taught us that, fasting should be done quietly. The only time people know is during a church-wide fast, and even then it’s just the church members, not the whole public. Muslim: Hmm… how can someone fast and not show it? Look at me, I’m fasting now. I’m weak. Anyone who sees me will know. Me: That’s the difference. And funny enough, many Christians don’t eat anything at all until the time they break their fast. Muslim: What do you mean? Me: You Muslims eat early in the morning and just skip lunch. To us, that’s not really fasting. In Christianity, someone might fast for a whole week, breaking each day at 6 p.m., no food all day, and you still wouldn’t know they were fasting. Muslim: Why are the authors of the Bible anonymous, and why didn’t Jesus write the gospel? Me: That’s not the topic. Please stay on the subject. Muslim: I knew you wouldn’t answer. You people don’t even have the original Bible. Sorry for you. Me: Hello… stay on topic. We were talking about fasting. Muslim: Christians don’t fast. You people like freedom too much. Me: Alright… take care. 😅
