Reply to comment by dogsent in Mozambique pastor dies attempting 40-day Jesus fast - BBC News by UsernameEmanresu22

it's totally crazy though. I go that long without eating (still taking liquid) and I feel like a deadman walking 2 weeks...

According to the story, Jesus fasted until he had visions. I don't know what that means. I think he was trying to have visions. He was in the desert. So even with drinking water the body gets dehydrated.

Anyway, weird story. And a pretty dumb idea to try doing a fast like that.

not eating till you trip out in the desert sounds like a death sentence. unless you're Jesus

He had angels taking care of him. Snacks don't count when you're fasting if they came from angels.
