Family Research Council to begin fast against marriage equality

Story here

The Family Research Council is urging its supporters to take part in a three-week fast to defeat marriage equality.

From the article:

Ahead of the hearings on April 28, listed anti-gay group the Family Research Council appears to be out of tangible ways to protest the move, and is encouraging people to “pray and fast."

The group’s ‘Prayer Targets’ state: “(President) Tony Perkins is asking praying believers everywhere to pray and fast from April 7th till April 28th that God will intervene to guide our Supreme Court to protect, not destroy, natural marriage as the legal standard for our nation."

I find it hard to wrap my head around this kind of hatred. And yes, I really hope the SC rules the right way on this and the ACA. I am hopeful for a positive ruling on marriage equality- more concerned about the other case- they'll likely both come down to Roberts and Kennedy.

Zero nutrition.

Fat burns off to feed the body. Hopefully they're fat enough for two weeks.

They won't make it past 72 hours without energy.

It's a weight loss solution not medically supported.
