1. Let them starve. n/t

[kardonb]

49. starve

the fewer bigots and haters the better .

[awoke_in_2003]

70. +1 million...

I am so tired of these fuck heads (excuse my French). Why the hell do they care what other people do? If you don't agree with gay marriage, don't get gay married. How f'ing simple is that?

[Louisiana1976]

77. Well said.

[JoePhilly]

2. "Stop being gay or I WILL kill myself!!!"

[Amaril]

18. BWAHAAAA!

[sofa king]

38. Hell if I'd jump in front of that solution.

[christx30]

58. At least they're just holding themselves

hostage. They're not spraying firehoses and lynching people that are demanding civil rights like in the 60's. That's progress, I guess. Maybe we can get this movement to spread among that group so we can ignore all of them.

[Bosonic]

3. The biggest losers

Maybe it will detoxify their views...

[AtheistCrusader]

4. This problem will solve itself, I see.

[closeupready]

15. LOL, yup.

[trusty elf]

5. Not good!

Soon they'll be too thin to feed to the lions.

[broadcaster75201]

7. Damn you!!

I had what I thought was a great pithy comment but you win. Dammit. ; )

*bows grandly*

[Brigid]

14. If this doesn't make next week's DUzys . . .

[Lochloosa]

51. It had better or we'll be feeding someone to the lions. And I'll bet there a little more plump.

[awoke_in_2003]

71. DUzy alert. nt

[groundloop]

6. I hope they know what Jesus had to say about homosexuality.....

As far as I've ever been able to discern, on the matter of homosexuality he said......






edit to add: And if they really want to follow Jesus' teachings whatever food they'd have normally consumed for those 40 days should be donated to a food bank or homeless shelter.

[trusty elf]

9. .............

[Scuba]

40. Love me some Roy. Thanks.

[trusty elf]

41. I had the chance to hear him in Houston recently.

A very good time was had by all!

[derby378]

8. Why wait? Why not start now if they're so offended? (n/t)

[politicaljunkie41910]

63. To give someone time to talk them out of it, perhaps?????

Certainly not so they can see the error of their ways. My guess is that they want some stupid followers to do their dirty work for them; build a following, perhaps to get some stoop to do something crazy in the meantime. Then they call it off.

It they had the courage of your convictions, why are they waiting? Because they have no courage.

[AlbertCat]

10. Go for it!

I'll get some take out and eat while I watch.

[VWolf]

11. Virginia welcomes the Judean People's Front,

Crack Suicide Squad!

[IveWornAHundredPants]

24. I believe you're referring to the People's Front of Judea.

[VWolf]

30. Are you sure? I'm always getting the two confused.

On edit - it IS the JPF:

[OutNow]

60. All Glory to the Judean Popular Liberation Committee ( 700 Club )

Both the JPF and the PFJ are sellouts that betray the teachings of Pat Robertson. Long live the JPLC(700 Club).

[awoke_in_2003]

72. SPLINTER...

[amuse bouche]

12. Ahhh religion

It's where the crazies fill up on hatergade

[SoapBox]

13. Amazing how they make themselves look, even more stoopid!

They love to hate.

[DetlefK]

16. They don't believe in their absolutes and bemoan that we don't believe in their absolutes.

To paraphrase Garfunkel&Oates: They believe in the Bible, "except when it's outdated or inconvenient".

Truth is subjective, facts are objective.

And marriage has dozens of definitions. There are several definitions of marriage in the Bible. The native americans even had a form of marriage where it was purely about sharing work in a household and unconnected to gender.

Pagan = non-christian = evil.

The forefathers would immediately feel at home with mass-shootings, the lack of slavery and aristocrats running the country behind the scenes.

[TNNurse]

17. Why are they waiting??????

[wyldwolf]

19. "did someone order 12 deep dish pizzas?"

Right here dude.

[Hestia]

20. Buh Bye

[cvoogt]

21. I hope it works

har har

[rtracey]

22. well

Good Luck to them.....

[Amaril]

23. :::Yawn::: So not impressed

If they want to impress, they should drag their righteous, pampered, entitled asses to the Judean desert for those 40 days/nights, AND take no food OR water along for the trip. If any of them make it out of that alive, well, that would be somewhat impressive.

[Iliyah]

25. Saint Peter will ask y'all

"why commit such a sin? Reply "because GAWD hates fags and it was his will"

Wrong said Saint Peter.

[jberryhill]

26. Those poor lions

For the sake of the lions, the Christians should fatten up a bit.

[awoke_in_2003]

73. If there is one thing America doesn't have a problem with...

it is people being too skinny.

[theHandpuppet]

27. They have to think up new ways to collect money...

... since they are fast becoming irrelevant. But boy howdy, they sure have enough folks on the payroll!

I visited the web site of this "Family Foundation" and it's exactly what I expected it to be. The fact that it claims to be a non-profit, non-partisan group -- while asking for even more contributions -- is a damn joke. This is a rabid anti-Obama, anti-choice, anti-gay organization that does nothing but political lobbying. Here's an article on its president, Victoria Cobb: http://www.styleweekly.com/richmond/cobbs-web/Content?oid=1365121

[yurbud]

28. gays should tell them they don't have to lose any weight, they can come as they are to the wedding

[IveWornAHundredPants]

29. "...a country that our forefathers could not even begin to recognize."

Which reminds me of what David Letterman's Top Ten list once posited Ben Franklin would say if he could see America today:

"Yiiiiiiii, iron bird!"

[jberryhill]

31. Yeah... no slaves, women voting... I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!

[packman]

52. Damn it-

You beat me to it:
"pushing the envelope on decency and morality have all combined to turn this great land into a country that our forefathers could not even begin to recognize."

I wonder if our forefathers would recognize the envelope we pushed on women's rights, freeing slaves, granting non-land owners rights to vote, etc. etc.

I can't wrap my mind around the circular reasoning of that last statement. What we need to do on DU is find out where they are starving themselves to death and send them pizza and hamburgers, maybe even have a cook-out. I can just visualize the grills cooking with the aroma of hot dogs and steak wafting over to the starving group.

[Turbineguy]

32. It would be nice

if they ate at good steak houses. I'd like the see the price drop a little.

[Capt. Obvious]

33. Have these people set up shop yet?

[JoeyT]

84. That almost looks like they're trying to build

a shield tortoise of pure stupid. Your facts can't get us!

[Roland99]

34. Ah...the perils of that "post-modern" society

Weren't we "post-modern" in the 1950s at some point, too? And before that? And....

[Diclotican]

35. closeupready

closeupready

A fast have never harmed anyone - if it goes to excesses that is....

Diclotican

[closeupready]

42. +1 - and as someone else said upthread,

"the problem here solves itself."

[bearssoapbox]

36. Pagan philosophies?

Like Christmas?

Are they declaring war on Christmas?

Should somebody tell Faux Snooze about this?

Maybe they are waiting until Aug. because they are fattening themselves up like some animals do before they hibernate.

They do keep us entertained though.

[amuse bouche]

37. "Virginia Christians Starve Themselves"

Why stop at Virginia? Their brothers and sisters in every state should join in for solidarity.

Contemplating the benefits for the USA and humanity everywhere, is beyond delicious

[awoke_in_2003]

74. I must tell all the christians down here in Texas...

that Virginia is whipping their tales in this matter.

[atreides1]

39. They need to emulate Christ

If they're serious about this...then I say they need to be dropped off in the Shenandoah Valley, and left there for 40 days.

Still a lot of wilderness in the Shenandoah Valley...perfect for what they need to do.

[Rozlee]

43. Make it Death Valley.

[theHandpuppet]

50. And plenty of hungry bears, too.

[Arugula Latte]

44. In the uhh, sort of, lyrics of Billy Joel:

Come on, Virginians, don't make me wait
You nutty holy rollers are filled with hate
You think everybody should be straight
So don't eat that burger or that bun..
They showed you gay marriage and you blew a fuse
Steve marrying Steve conflicts with your views
From your pores poutrage is starting to ooze
So we say food is a thing you should shun --
Start your hunger strike and please git 'er done.

[olddad56]

45. I'll change my sexual orientation to gay if it will help others jump on this band wagon.

[CanonRay]

46. Hopefully, they'll be with Jeebus soon. Good.

[Arkana]

47. Good. Makes the species stronger.

[IronLionZion]

48. I hope this catches on nation-wide

all through the bible belt. Make them smell the barbecue and cornbread.

Then when they break their fast, offer them some of their favorite foods cooked by gay chefs. It will taste very good.

[bitchkitty]

53. Never happen.

Have you ever been in a Southern Baptist church on a Sunday? Have you ever waited tables at a "family-style" restaurant on a Sunday, when all the churchgoers come pouring in after church?

The majority of them will NOT give up their food. They might lie and say they're not eating but trust me, those folks are EATING.

[Arugula Latte]

55. Tater tot casserole, baby!

[awoke_in_2003]

75. The one thing I have learned in Texas...

if you go out to eat on Sunday, get there at 11AM.

[liberal N proud]

54. I will use my live and let live philosophy here - live and let die

If they want to die because they don't want to let others live as they want, I shall show them by example that I will not care what they do and if that means they starve to death, it is because they want to.

[Orsino]

56. They can't recruit, and they'll make sure they don't reproduce, either.

But no one will starve himself to death in this fake strike.

[neffernin]

57. How Gay Marriage could be worse than murder/sex trafficking of children is beyond me

Yet I don't see anyone from the christian conservatives starving themselves over tighter restriction on guns or until websites like backpage are raided and shutdown.

Or how about starving children? 1 in 4 are underfed in the US. Yes, the US, not Ghana or the Congo. I don't see them starving with them until our government, who really wouldn't have to spend THAT much to do so, feeds them. Instead we feed Wal-mart coffers.

God forbid two people, whose lives will likely never intersect theirs or cause any actual harm to anyone, get the same legal benefits that marriage has to offer in this country.

[phylny]

59. Well, there goes the business at the local Chik Fil A. n/t

[LibertyLover]

61. OK - go for it

I hope they remember to keep hydrated and have a qualified physician readily available in case problems arise. And let us know how that fasting against something works.

[armed_and_liberal]

62. On Day 30 I'll send them a case of Honey Maid Graham Crackers

What a bunch of maroons!

[NOLALady]

64. I see no problem here.

[tabasco]

67. The problem is that we have to live

with these dumb fucks.

[eringer]

65. LoL...Look for these Chick-fil-A Locations to be closing for good this summer

[merrily]

69. Laid an egg, I guess. Or ruffled a lot of feathers.

[Laffy Kat]

79. Yay! We are doing our part. nt

[Hoppy]

66. Stupid Bastards. Not much else to say.

[merrily]

68. I believe in absolutes!

Matthew 22

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets

.

Matthew 7

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

[Louisiana1976]

81. +1 million

[JI7]

76. i don't believe they will even give up one day without food

it will probably be some symbolic thing where they will be given some piece of bread and they will throw it out . and afterwards they will go to chick fila or more likely some dennys type of place .

[blkmusclmachine]

78. Buh-bye! You'll see Jeezus sooner, anyway! Win-win!

[paleotn]

80. knock yourselves out, folks.

when they start out with such an idiotic premise, I can't help but think a little gene pool cleansing is in order.

[yellowcanine]

82. Let them eat cake.

[Judi Lynn]

83. A crowd of witnesses should surround the group, to verify to the world their act of sacrifice

for their "values."

God would want the world to know these martyrs are on the level, and to cheer them on to spiritual victory over evildoers!

There should be a crowd on hand to wave "bye bye" to them when they rise to meet their lord.
