[DS1]

3. They'll starve eventually

[KitchenWitch]

2. Begs the following question...

:wtf:

[DS1]

4. You can't beg a :wtf:

It's just not right! :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. ...

:loveya:

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Good - more food for the rest of us.

[madinmaryland]

6. Huh? Why?

:wtf:

I am speechless.

[LynneSin]

7. The FAQ has to be a joke section!!!

http://www.heartlight.org/fast/questions.html

What do you mean by fasting?
The original idea of the fast was no food, liquids only. A lot of people asked about that.

What if I can't fast like that?
If you have health problems (a lot of diabetics wanted to fast but said they couldn't) you could fast partial foods. How about fruit only? How about vegetables only? How about salads and fruit only? You can also think beyond fasting for food. Think of anything that you would want throughout the day, and then deny yourself it. It could be sweets, it could be TV, it could be the Web, it could be traveling by car, it could be sports, it could be shopping... whatever, anything that you will be sacrificing. God will know and will hear it.


<<<<<<btw - if Kerry had won>>>>>>>

Would this fasting effort be here if Kerry had won?
Absolutely. This is not a "Republican thing." This is fasting for the reputation of our Lord among the nations. Whoever is in the oval office will be prayed and fasted for whether they want it or not!

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. Well...that explains a lot! It's all about DENIAL!

..and I ain't talkin' about a river in Egypt!

[RevCheesehead]

23. They're utterly confused.

"This is fasting for the reputation of our Lord among the nations. Whoever is in the oval office will be prayed and fasted for whether they want it or not!"

Which one is it? Our Lord, or who(m)ever is in the oval office??

My atheist professor was right: there really *IS* sin everywhere. :eyes:

[realisticphish]

30. frankly

i don't think god needs us to be his PR company :shrug:

[calico1]

8. How bizarre. n/t

[tjwmason]

9. Good for them.

I strongly believe that we are obliged to fast and pray for those in positions of authority - like him or not he is.

[crispini]

22. I agree.

Fasting is a well known spiritual tool which is not exclusive to the Judeo Christian tradition. Anything which turns people's minds to the spiritual is a good thing in my book, even though I am not a Christian.

[EstimatedProphet]

10. I knew he'd eventually cause hunger.

[StaggerLee]

12. Right here

I hunger for liberty.

Never thought I'd live to see that day but here it is.

[bmbmd]

13. Millions more are fasting

because of GWB. They have no choice in the matter.

[RevCheesehead]

24. exactly.

I question this whole charade. Too much like idolatry to me, with very little introspection.

Perhaps they could fast for Osama bin Laden, too??

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. so true and sad

[rucky]

14. what's the deal? My fundie brother-in-law just finished a month fast

to get his prayers answered about his autistic son whom they are in complete denial about.

every time somebody mentions something about him, he and the mom get crazy mad and say "by the stripes of Jesus, he's healed!"

somebody please shed some light on this. I can't figure out where they get these ideas.

[samplegirl]

17. maybe you can call the

Pat Robertson Hotline.

[Radical Activist]

43. fasting is common to most all world religions

and to a number of non-religious traditions as well. I think it can be a good thing.

[rucky]

47. how many autistic people have been cured from it?

[donheld]

15. Maybe we should fast for W's Impeachment

Along with his cabal.

[Momgonepostal]

16. There are probably more than that who can't afford to eat...

today because of George Bush.

[Shine]

18. well, whatever.

to each, their own.

I can see both sides to the issue, truthfully.

[Initech]

19. Excuse me while I go...

:puke:

[Rob H.]

20. "Now that George W. Bush is in...

...I can only hope and pray that the scandals that happened to President Clinton will not happen to him."

Well, there haven't been any sex scandals--there have been scandals relating to pretty much everything else the pResident has had a hand in, but no sex scandals. Wait a second... scandals involving male prostitutes masquerading as reporters still count as sex scandals, don't they? Yeah. That's what I thought.

Thanks a lot. The fasting has been a big help so far. :eyes:

[samplegirl]

21. Maybe they need

a lick ass day!!!!!!

[ET Awful]

25. Non-partisan? . . .

LMAO . . . so tell me what kind of Democrat would fast for Dubya.

[LynneSin]

28. I think Joe Lieberman has a day each month scheduled

:P

[ET Awful]

32. Then there's Zell who is probably the fastinest mofo around.

:P

[Benfea]

34. He said "DEMOCRATS"

Lieberman doesn't count.

[jmowreader]

38. A LOT of Democrats would do that

It's just when a Democrat doesn't eat because of Bush, most people call it a hunger strike.

[ET Awful]

45. Or maybe he just makes 'em so nauseous they're afraid they won't

be able to keep anything down if they do eat :P

[samplegirl]

26. Make that 49

My girlfriends serving up a hearty dish of this
to her Repuke hubby this evening. LOL

[REDKING]

27. Fast for Bush.....

there is something wrong with those people.Bush is evil and if there is justice in this world,He and all his cronies are going straight to their christian hell....only place for them.

[Call Me Wesley]

29. I could think of a nice

copycat for this one. :evilgrin: But I won't.

[Lisa]

31. does not being able to look at him without throwing up, also count?

I'm sure there are more than 48 people who feel that way. (I caught part of the SOTU and I still feel kind of queasy.)

[izzie]

37. You have got it

and it has been so scary. Every time I turn on a news station their he is.

[Nikia]

33. How about fasting for him for another reason?

Praying and fasting that either he gets a clue and stops being so self serving or is removed from office.

[thefool_wa]

35. One can only hope

That this means a whole bunch of neo-cons are going to drop dead of self inflicted starvation.

A guy's gotta dream.

[Orsino]

39. Big deal. Millions more are starving for him...

...and his policies.

[SKKY]

40. As the Spanish say...

..."Cada loco con su tema"

[AtomicKitten]

42. If only we could encourage them to keep fasting til the rapture ... (nt)

[DarienComp]

44. maybe they'll start taking a "Vow of Silence for George W."

i'd certainly be a lot happier if fundamentalists decided to fulfill their Christian duty by shutting the fuck up for once.

But I am certainly happy to see them starve themselves to death too. Either or.

[Left Is Write]

46. Why?

[liontamer]

48. well they don't seem to be pro bush

So what's the big deal?

[liberaltrucker]

49. Hopefully the fundies will starve themselves to death

A few less we'll have to contend with:patriot:

[ChoralScholar]

51. yeah.. it's kinda like that old email

If you support Kerry, drive with your lights on during the day.

If you support Bush, drive with your lights off at night.

[NMMNG]

50. There's only one thing I'd do for Dumbya

It isn't fasting, and I can't say as we aren't allowed to talk about bodily functions. :evilgrin:
