LOL - CELEBRATING?
I think you misunderstand the purpose of Lent and Ramadan... this is a time of fasting and sacrifice. Not really a celebration.... :)
I do appreciate your intent.
I guess I could have used "observed" instead of celebrate but thanks for mansplaining my own religion to me.
My sincere apology if I don't fully understand Islam. I was speaking mostly from a Catholic perspective and the Muslim folks that I have known. Of course the Muslims that I have known skew to mostly Arab (Saudi, Jordanian). Attitudes probably are different for different regions just as Catholics vary somewhat across the globe.
Thank you Doug - as you say I was not trying to offend anyone. I was just noting something that seemed funny as a Catholic being told to 'celebrate' Lent. And surprisingly I did not immediately think someone was trying to 'explain' my religion to me. Just that they misunderstood it a little. :)
