Hmm. Thanks but no thanks. I'm happy with my Christianity.

Plus, if I converted, wouldn't I need to leave too? That would defeat the purpose of the whole exercise :P

No there is no requirement to give up nationstates for Ramadan. Surprisingly enough, neither Christ or Mohammad ever mentioned nationstates. It’s a personal choice by that poster.

Again if you are trying to improve interfath cooperation you would both convert and change to be a liberal for the month.

I have no objection to you making a personal sacrifice to enhance your ramadan experience of daily fasting and introspection, by dropping nationstates for the period. I just think Izzy should pick up the ball as a showing of interfaith cooperatiom. :)

Sadly no, to be completely honest i can not claim any superiority in the matter as no Jewish scholars of the rabbinical period mentioned nationstates either.

You would think, and the rabbi’s freaking wrote about everything and then changed their mind and wrote more about it again, but max Barry was never mentioned by anyone.

I told myself that I wasn't gonna buy anything for about a month so that I could get some more money in my bank account... then I want and bought nearly $300 of Lego Star Wars sets, some of which are the new 20th anniversary sets at the LEGO Store, and some old sets off eBay. Along with the Star Wars game collection on Steam...


I'm such a pushover when it comes to these things...

Alright guys. I'm gonna wrap this up with 15 minutes of sunlight left, and I'll be on for like another 5-10 minutes to see just in case if anyone wants to send me a goodbye telegram. I hope and pray you all are doing well, and may God bless you all, especially to those who believe in him of any faith.
