It's normal for Muslims during Ramadan, yes. It can indeed be very dangerous.

Not even allowed to be angry or getting injured iirc.

From what i know, ramadhan on muslim countries are pretty lenient. Cutting the work hours, less physical activities, more resting time etc.
And despite hatemongers said, there is no real punishment for failing the fast.

Eating in public tho, is a total different issue.

Question: Do you break fast if food and water accidentally falls into your mouth? Or what about when you accidentally slip and fall on someone's penis?

If you become ill during your fasting through lack of food/water, it's OK to break.

You're not supposed to be damaging your body or ruining your health. Just practising self-discipline.

If it happens by accident, that is a gift from God.

Ramadan is a struggle, but i feel like some people dont understand that people observing it are allowed to eat and drink after sunset and before the next dawn.

It is definitely very hard and requires discipline, but its not life endangering for the majority of people. And if it does become life endangering, you can break the fast if it is medically necessary.

Maybe if that rule was meant for daredevils, it would make sense, but most injuries are accidental. It's not like folks set out to stub their toes.

Bolded literally doesn't happen half the time. Atheists are distrusted and actually face discrimination even here in the west, to say nothing of more... devout countries.

Can you really not think why someone would question why someone would deprive themselves of the most basic of human needs? If one is ignorant of Islam (or any other reason to fast) then it's a rational question.

Ramadan is suppose to be a struggle. The funny part was I learned from my friend who is Muslim that you're not even suppose to get angry, but my Muslim coworker just always constantly complains and bitches about it while it's happening lol.

What the fuck are you going on about? Is it not okay for people to find things strange/weird and question about it? Even as an atheist I was told by other Christians that say "how does it feel like knowing you're going to burn in hell for all eternity by not believing that Jesus is our Lord and Savior? It's never too late to go back to him, YOU CAN BE SAVED!".

Thanks. Conversion says 5 is $6.50 USD. If it were an option, I think I would sooner pay the daily fine than go without water from sunup to sundown.

Yep, at lest that's what I got from the @_teep topic. The point is struggle so that you can relate to and understand those who are worse off and have very little. It's intended to create empathy and compassion.
Exactly.

The requirements that people are portraying in a negative or mocking way ('you're not even allowed to get angry'), are actually beneficial (working on kindness and understanding).

Ramadan is a struggle, but it is an experience which strengthens your relationships with God and your family.

Does anyone know a good English translation of the Quran? This Ramadan stuff has me curious to read it. I kind of always wanted to read the Quran, but these kinds of convos have me really thinking about it. I'm a Christian, I guess, I don't know anymore. Anyways, I believe the Torah, Bible, and Quran are parts do a greater whole. Heck I believe all religions are connected to GOD, even Buddhism. Getting way off topic, but I tried searching and the first thing that pops up on Google seems kind of iffy, I'll get it if I have to but if anyone here has a personal version they read or know others who read on, would be a big help.
