Thy Geekdom Come Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 As directed by King Aloysius of Athanasia the Future State, I am leading the division of Operation: Night Force which will be fasting during the Friday of the prayer night and throughout the session as well. I prefer an all out fast-water only-in accordance with Irish Tradition, but we can discuss this. Do I have any volunteers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do want to conserve food for the poor and practice moderation, but we also don't want any food to go to waste, so I would say that if there is food which you know isn't going to go anywhere but the dumpster, either find a way to get it to the poor or eat it yourself, because waste is bad, too. Besides, no one needs wine (except for the Church, lol), but the Bible says that we should drink it and be merry, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 if everyone just ate what they needed to survive people who sell food would go poor and the hungry througout the world would remain hungry because it's not a problem of food supply but rather a problem of distribution, people who are starving are starving because charities can't get food to them because of evil governments. There's enough food for everyone in the world to eat as much as they want so long as they are doing it for the purpose of receiving the sustinance and not the purpose of taste, the taste is just to be an added bonus not the reason you eat. remember, farmers and hunters and supermarket bag boys all need to eat too.
