The Family Foundation has announced that it intends to embark on a hunger strike against marriage equality from Aug. 27 through Oct. 5.

For those counting, that's 40 days.

The Virginia-based conservative Christian organization is calling the fast "40 Days of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance for Marriage."

According to a statement released on the group's website:

Our state and nation are mired in a morass of confusion and post-modern thinking that does not believe in absolutes nor that any truth can even be known. Nowhere is this more evident than in the current debate raging about what constitutes marriage. Pagan philosophies, a secular humanist education establishment and an entertainment industry that is absolutely determined in 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.

1. Good

But they're full of crap...if they want to emulate Christ, then they need to spend those 40 days out in the wilderness!

I understand that the Shenandoah Valley has miles of wilderness...drop them off with a helicopter and tell them to be back at the same location in 40 days!!!

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

Because the only thing that's changed since the founding is marriage equality...

Our forefathers would shit their pants at the sight of an airplane.

Or a skyscraper.

And they would ask "what happened to all the slaves?"


Do these people even think before they open their mouths?

3. Yet the states with highest divorce and teen pregnancy rates

are religious red states. And in a hilarious twist, they're also the biggest consumers of online gay porn.

8. Does this mean they're boycotting Chik Fil-a?

9. Am I supposed to feel sorry for these bigots or something?

When the women's right movement took up this tactic it was to protest something personally affecting them and harming coutless women.

These bigots are not in anyway being affected by gay-marriage and no one is being harmed by it. They are threatening to harm themselves so that the government can continue to discriminate against homosexuals. Sorry, they can starve for what I care.

Not that I think a moment that these dumb asses have the guts to do a real hunger strike. They will go for a few days and break down and have a sandwich or something.

10. I guess the pizza guy

will just have to sneak around to the back door.

18 days is a long time to fast. Wouldn't it be nice to have hundreds of pizzas delivered in the middle of the rally?

12. LOL

Jesus said to feed the hungry, after all.

13. Now, that's a hilarious idea!
