Quote# 60735

[In response to someone going on a juice fast for 40 days.]

You should NEVER go on such a votive fast without the blessing of your spiritual father.

Otherwise, you expose yourself to great spiritual danger. Our fasting should not be self-willed, but obedient.

Otherwise, it can bring us close to the demons, who never eat at all.

If demons never eat, does that mean they violate the second law of thermodynamics?

Juice fast? I rarely drink juice.

Well, that's not true. I recently discovered cranberry juice...

However, self-flagellation is an excellent method for keeping demons away whilst fasting.

No, no! Juice fasting is a great idea. The rest of us appreciate your efforts to remove yourself from the planet.

I thought the Bible made it pretty clear that the Juice is the Lord's Chosen Beverage?

That's right little fundies. Only by starving yourself in a dark room can you keep the demons out of your head. Better yet you shouldn't eat anything at all, and whatever you do! Don't leave the room!

Just stay inside until you all die. The world will be better off without you.

A juice fast? What kind of candy-assed, weak-kneed, bullshit devotion is that?

Smokers going cold turkey suffer worse, pissant.

I'm so glad Catholics didn't make Doom. Combating demons with fasting instead of shotguns would have been pretty lame.

Or it could bring us closer to the Ethiopians, who also don't eat.

Never mind your "spiritual father"; you should discuss such things with your physician first.

"You should NEVER go on such a votive fast without the blessing of your spiritual father."

You should NEVER go on such a fast without the blessing of your physician.


"it can bring us close to the demons, who never eat at all."

As fictional characters, demons can get by quite well without eating. You, as a mostly real being, need to eat a balanced diet.

What do you mean demons never eat? I just had Abaddon over for Sunday brunch last weekend. He told me the most amuseing story about Ken Ham and Dr. Behe. It seems that they were shareing a room at a....(cont. on P. 43)

During college I likely went on near 40-day beer fasts ... and never gained a pound.
It's a miracle!
But the only time I saw anything demon-like was when I got that liquid acid from my chemistry major friends at Georgia Tech.

Why do many of the pictures of demons show them as being fat then? You never heard of a big fat festering goblin? But I digress...

Oh really? Joke's over, Beezlebub! Stop eating all my freakin' food! Some fundie on the Internet told me you don't need to eat!

Stupid demons. You get one to help you do your chores and he eats you out of house and home, and then I find out they don't eat?

I must say, I've never heard of something like this before. Fasting is spiritual, except when we say it's not, then it's demonic. WTH?

Wow, first time I've ever heard a fundie say doing something pointless, painful, stupid and potentially dangerous might be a BAD idea. For the wrong reasons, of course, but it's a step.

Seems like you have been on a diet of Jesus-juice for some time and without it resulting in the desired effect, how come?
