Food: Pathway to the Soul?
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I myself have never been one to repeat such a statement as i know this phrase to be anotomically incorrect. The heart is in no way directly connected to the stomach. I felt it a useful starting point though for a topic i fear affects us all, dear reader.
Now, while the way to a man’s heart may not be through his stomach, i can assure you the way to a man’s soul is. Like most living things on this wonderful planet, you consume food on a daily basis. This food, at some point in it’s life, was part of the world the Lord has created. By consuming this nourishment God has provided, we are also taking in a little of him, as with every creation you can find a little of the creator within.
This, dear reader, is also the problem and the Dark Lord, Satan himself, knows it. He knows it well and has capitalized on the premise that we, like most living creatures, require some form sustinance to survive. He has taken the wholesome nutrients that God has provided and turned them to a thing most evil. His moves have been swift and well organised. He has rolled out his 666 year plan to devastating effect with the inception of ‘Fast Food’.
But, as always, we have the means to counteract his terrible scheme. Our first and main weapon in this fight for our living souls is FAITH. Not many people know, but faith has been a substantial food source for generations. I personally survive on Faith and water. Water is the essence of life, therefore can never be tainted by the Dark Lord (no matter how hard he may try).
Food on the otherhand is in a constant state of unrest. Every day the Dark Lord seeks to change it, to mould it, to make it do his bidding. Ask yourself, how many McDonalds can you think of in your local area? I can count at least 37 in my area alone. That, coupled with the KFC’s, Red Rooster’s and Burger King’s of the world is enough to make my soul feel sick and bloated with despair. Fortunetly for me my body is my temple, so i have never yielded to such blasphemous ways and although you may be reading this now, feeling like your holy soul of souls has been violated with these items of Satan, it is never too late to reverse Satan’s work. As always, we must be vigilant in our continued effort to eradicate the Devil and all his evil doings from our once magnificant planet. Together, we can remould this world into one of peace with a healthy side of god fearing.
Start with your diet. The less food you eat, the better you will feel spiritually. Eventually you shall become like me and never eat food again. Once you discover the miracle of eating the lord’s prayer with some tasty, dessert hymns, you too shall become a true believer.
God Bless. Pastor River

Really not even close to any source of food…
“. I personally survive on Faith and water”
“Eventually you shall become like me and never eat food again.”
You NEED food to survive. Thus I call nonsense on you.

I have known men
that have survived 60 days on faith alone,
each day at dinnertime, they prayed when they shuld have ate
and faith in jesus alone kept them alive and healthy
if your faith is strong enough you can do anything
walk trough fire, lift a truck, fly, anything is possible
we are only limeted by our faith in god
thats why jesus culd do all those things he did
his faith was absolute

There are just some things that shouldn’t be said. This is one of them.
“. I personally survive on Faith and water”
“Eventually you shall become like me and never eat food again.”
Really?

True, faith can keep you alive but it can’t sustain you forever. You still need food to get the required nutrients.
All the stories I can think of where faith kept someone alive, it was a life or death situation where a strong faith and will to live kept them alive.
So yes, you can survive on faith and water, but not long term.

The great thing about Christians in America is that we welcome debate. One person may disagree with Pastor River while another celebrates his insights. The positive thing to take away from all this is that we live in a nation where freedom of speech still exists. If you support Obama, you have to understand that the sort of socialism he represents does not allow such freedoms. In fact, he has worked aggresively to make Christian speech illegal. A pastor can be imprisoned for reading the Bible aloud in our most liberal states. How sad is that!

Celestial Deth: Firstly death has an A in it. Secondly, have you never heard the term ‘You dont make friends with Salad’? How can the army expect to have an air of comradery when they are eating salad?
You know what DOES make you friends though. Faith. Friends with the Lord.

I realize that death has an A in it. However, considering I have mortalphope, I wanted to make it clear that I didn’t like death and I was willing to not spell it correctly to get my dislike across.
Second, no. I have never heard the term. Ever. As it stands I don’t eat much salad. I prefer a good steak next to the next guy, but Salad is good for you. Doesn’t mean I can’t eat it with a slice of chicken.
Third, I am friends with the Lord. I visit him every Sunday. I pray to him before I go to sleep. Don’t talk to me about Faith.
Bless your soul.

I think my life is living proof that fast food is good for the soul, though I may be wrong… It is a uniquely AMerican invention that helps fuel our fast-paced society and keeps our working men well fed. It’s family food and the kids love it! It also is a major industry keeping millions happily employed when they would otherwise be out on the streets dealing drugs or getting into prostitution. Have you seen most of the people that work in these places? They already look like hookers… Well anyway, thank you Pastor River and I look forward to the fascinating discussion your work encourages. Our faith is a giant umbrella, with many different fellows standing beneath it, humbly and earnestly.

1. If you are living proof of fastfood than no one in their right mind would ever want to eat fast food.
2. People at those places are not happily employed, their lives suck as do their jobs.

Their lives do not “suck.” Many are good Christian children helping to support their families. Communists may worship Hitler, but at least they support the working man. You need to rethink your picture.

Mr Billings: Thank you for your kind words, however i thought i would let you know that Fast Food is actually originally from Europe. Much fast food is European in origin, with a considerable history. For example, John Stow’s 1598 survey of London mentions fast-food-like items, as does Henry Mayhew in his social history of London in the 1840s and 1850s. The hamburger derived from the Baltic provinces of Russia in the Middle Ages, where various tribes ate steak tartare. These Tartars, or Tatars, introduced the delicacy to their German trading partners from the port of Hamburg. The Germans fried the meat and seasoned it with onions. When German immigrants arrived in the United States, they brought this steak dish with them.
Have faith. Pastor River.
