A few years ago, I got put into the same room as an extremely Catholic colleague and the kind of jackass who'd start discussions about everything.

And yeah, my only luck was that I was a 'better' Christian than him in every discipline. Well, you know, apart from being a heretic.

Not eating meat on some Fridays isn't fasting...

And that's not even something all Christians do, pretty sure it's just Catholics

Not eating meat on some Fridays are a Jewish thing that continued into Christianity; Catholics observe it more than other types of Christians, but they are not the only ones that observe it.

But that's still not fasting...

I did not refute that point, only who abstains from eating meat on Fridays.
