More Post-Christian Martyrdom

Again with this?  This just means you're fasting, and only half as much as my family and friends do annually on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.  Mormons do so even more often.  By this measure, we go on hunger strikes before colonoscopies.  My point is that this isn't an onerous or unusual thing to do, so please take it down a notch, willya?

By the way, it's just a fast, not a "hunger strike".
