Utah man fasting to stop same sex marriages - 4Utah.com

I am going to preface my comments by saying I completely believe in fasting. i believe that fasting, like Gandhi engaged it can change things. I also believe there is power in fasting for our daily struggles.

With that said, I find this incredibly foolish. Nullification has never been considered a legitimate state policy in the history of the United States. Fasting for nullification to be used for the first time in US history is not a prudent.

Gandhi's use of fasting was not to change laws. He fasted to get people to stop being violent. He fasted to change people's hearts. Moreover, Gandhi was already a well beloved person. A random stranger doing a fast to change people would never have the same effect.

Also, Christ taught those of us with Christian backgrounds not to fast publically. We are supposed to fast in secret not to be praised in the world. I could see a small group of people fasting for change, but public fasting just isn't something Christians should be doing in most situations. (Obviously, inspiration of the Spirit is the general rule).

I think perhaps we should pray for this young man to see that other methods would be more prudent if he wants to accomplish a goal.

It's a pretty sick and disturbed mind that would prefer starvation over the government keeping its nose out of people's private lives.

What are you talking about? Gay marriage is about government getting involved in the private lives of people. Right now, homosexuals can enter into any relationship they want to for as long as they want without any interference with the government. Gay marriage gives the government power to regulate same sex relationships. It creates more regulation for same sex relationships. It gives the government power to determine when it sanctions the relationship and when the relationship is disolved.

No, it is keeping everyone else out of everyone else's marriage lives.

Your civil and religious liberties are unabridged by the ruling.
 
Let him die of starvation for all I care. One less asshole in the world doesn't matter to me.

Clearly you do or you wouldn't have said something.

And no matter what position you take it's absolutely true that demanding the government regulates same sex relationships gets the government more involved in same sex relationships. Meanwhile, right now gay couples can determine how long the relationship is, what they call it, when and if it will end.

So please, stop pretending gay marriage is about getting government out of the relationship.

Fights not over.

If you are getting married for benefits given to you from the government then your marriage is doomed to failure.

I don't understand how that could be.

The government used to say:
Heterosexual marriage is ok.

Now it says:
Heterosexual marriage is ok.
Homosexual marriage is ok.

There is no difference in the amount of regulation. :dunno:

And that right there is why people like you should be kept from power. Because you can't help but abuse it.

Are you serious? How can you not see that empowering the government to license (and by doing so charge a license fee) to more people regulates people and relationships they didn't previously regulate? How exactly is the government saying people end relationships without their approval not the government regulating more people?

If you truly want the government not to say you can or can't do something, then don't demand that they approve and regulate it.
