Thank you, Antwan and Sarah. I had somehow got confused about how Ramadan really works. So Ramadan fasters get to eat every night, huh? No wonder the Ramadan-fasting laborers managed to work all right on a construction site under intense heat in Iraq, where I was working.

I tried to fast Ramadan once with some Muslims. I couldn't do it. I'm weak. The Shaitan's got a hold on me. I got no iman. I am destined for the jahannam. Antwan the Damned.

Alhamdulillah, Sister Sarah. I have forgotten a lot. It's been many years. And I have not been keeping up my deen. I don't remember. Ramadan came up & they asked me if I was gonna fast & I tried but it didn't last long. I remember goin to an Arabic restaurant

...and to break the fast, they would give everyone dates. I enjoyed that, mashallah.

I liked them. Some lived in the same building where I lived. They got me into it. It was back in the 90's. Islam is like a subculture. It was different. I started studying & learning about it. I just never had any faith. I've tried other religions. Same thing

I just can't believe. I don't have any faith. I think when you're dead, you're dead and that's the end. When the synapses stop firing in the brain, it's lights out.

I don't think I'm on a path to salvation... at all. I think I'm on a path to destruction and total annihilation. I'm pretty sure I am. Aint nobody gettin salvaged, from the looks of it, when this thing is all over and said and done.

(1) Most atheists haven't tried anything and just jump to conclusions. It's because today it's more convenient and easier to be an atheist. Being an atheist is fashionable today. On the other hand, having faith is very difficult nowadays. You, Antwan, is different.

(2) You tried everything and still opt for atheism. You're the very first decent non-believer I've ever met.
