Fasting.
This is ridiculous. Kids at my school are fasting for 40 days for their church. They can only consume liquids. Isn't this dangerous? What if someone is already malnourished and doesn't know how to properly nourish themselves with liquids only. I know a lot of dull people at my school attempting this and I won't be surprised when one of them really hurts themselves during this.

"JUST" liquids? or just liquids between hour X to X (6am to 8pm i think, if its muslim)
Just consuming liquids can be "dangerous" if you have no idea what your doing... and even if you do, theres still potential risks
And i really hope all of them do hurt themselves... for being such blatant idiots...
What Would Kharn Do?
"Lol, you can only drink water, protein drinks, vitamin water, or organic juices.. its for my church.."
My reply to this nice but silly girl.
"Isn't this like.. dangerous?"
Some other chick gives me a blank "?" as if what I'm saying is absurd.
I'm scared for these people Lmao. Oh well, worst case they'll eat something out of necessity and feel like shit.
Stupid? Yes. Deadly? Probably not. It would be interesting to know how many of them last 40 days given the attention span of today's youth.
Nobody I know was brainwashed into being an atheist.
Why Believe?
i remember way back in my campus crusade days when bill bright did a liquids-only for 40 days. it was well-publicized of course, which according to jesus kind of defeats the whole purpose. also, he had a personal physician with him every step of the way. somehow i don't think the prophets had that either. of course, that could explain their visions...
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

I think we have just stumbled upon another theory as to why these people are/were hallucinating!
yeah man, malnutrition and dehydration can work wonders. many people when they get a monster hangover (which is basically just dehydration) see explosions of light anytime they close their eyes. i remember recently after a company retreat, coming off a 2-day drunk, i couldn't sleep because everytime i closed my eyes i saw hideous, leering faces. i know a guy who claims to see ghosts when he's badly hungover.
