The collective act of piety, starting Wednesday and culminating three days before the election in a revival for as many as 100,000 people at the San Diego Chargers' stadium, comes as church leaders across California put people, money and powerful words behind Proposition 8.
Some pastors around the state and nation are encouraging their flocks to forgo solid food for up to 40 days in the biblical tradition.
Jim Garlow, the pastor of the evangelical Skyline Church in San Diego County, said he expects up to 100 young adults to spend five-plus weeks on his campus, subsisting on soup, juice and the promise of societal salvation.
"This is not political to us. We see it as very spiritual," said Garlow, a leader of an interfaith coalition that has held monthly teleconferences, shared sermons and solicited donations for the ballot measure.

"Societal salvation"?
How are gay people threatening their spirituality? Do you see gay people going door-to-door to peddle their sexuality? No.
These people are delusional fanatics with absolutely no grasp on reality or logic. They should worry more about themselves and their mental illness.
How arrogant of them to think they have the right to dictate someone else's life.People like that make me glad to be agnostic.

They can pray all they want. According to their scripture, it's the best thing for them to do anyway.
This is worlds better than actively pursuing their ignorant, bull-fecal agenda in the political/ legal arena, where their religious ideas have no place (according to American scripture).

Pay Caesar's things to Caesar and God's things to God.
God requires, based on the Bible, for those who are part of his thinking not to partake in the political process. Jesus rejected the constant request to become king. If one was to partake in political affairs would not Jesus have become king?
They can pray and these will be the prayers that God does not hear. He doesn't hear prayers of hate.

Well, Christians are not the ones commiting suicide, we have the right to believe same sex relationships is a Sin and is not right, just like the separation of Church and State, there should be separation peoples ideas in schools and in public areas...

Christians certainly have the right to feel and believe anything they like but that doesn't give them or any other faith the right to impose those beliefs on others.
How would you feel, Apostolic4Life, if the collective masses voted to abolish Christianity? I'm sure you wouldn't agree or think it just.
Live and let live.

Pray they find real Love and acceptance. After all that is their primary belief - is it not?

ok you guys have your beliefs and others have theres. and im not saying anything to disregard your beliefs but wasnt the bible,well God, all about accepting people and not being judgemental and hateful to other kinds of people? and i know that the bible states that marriage should be between only a man and a women and even if gay people get married how does it affect you in any way? im quite positive you wont wake up one morning with a gay couple having relations on your yard
