Only the lower orders have fasting as part of their religion.

Ahhh, I agree. I also encourage you to read my response to the thread
entitled "An Ahimsa ThanXgiving - Fast 2003" in alt.food.vegan. A brief
example of my exchange with a pseudo-Hindu "convert" on the subject of
fasting (which is her preference along with shunning her parents and
family on a day of celebration and feasting):

OP> Spiritually, it also cleanses the soul.

us: Spiritually, we're also told to respect our elders (e.g.,
family), and to feast at times of feast. If one is going to
fast, one should do it before or following such feasts.

OP> Originally, fasting was used to 'get closer to the higher being.'

us: No, you misread the scriptures to suit your sanctimony and
impiety.
....

OP> My fasting tradition has came about when I could no longer go to
OP> family gatherings for this 'holiday' and sit around a table infested
OP> with dead carcass and by-products.

us:Just as I noted above. It's a self-righteous act of
self-alienation.

OP> Even the 'religious' holidays were laughable

us: So you also disrespect tradition. This not surprising given
your neo-nihilism masquerading as some form of Hinduism. Real
Hindus respect Christ even if you don't.

I doubt she'll be considerate enough to respond. She seemed more
interested in promoting her perverse "religious" views and her Yahoo!
discussion lists than anything else.

Where did you learn to read, hippy? I said I *couldn't* eat an entire
polar bear.
