Loony religidiots battled for the passage of Prop 8

The Ferreiras did what they could in their eastern San Diego suburb to ensure the ban on gay marriage prevailed. Their fight continues as its passage is contested.

Abel Ferreira and his wife, Robbie, never considered themselves political activists.

But when Proposition 8 landed on November's ballot, the Spring Valley couple did everything they could to ensure that the constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage got passed. They made phone calls. They attended prayer rallies. They fasted for 40 days.

For the Ferreiras, as for so many other people motivated to action by Proposition 8, the measure wasn't just a matter of politics. It was about family, faith and the future of the country.

"I saw it as a crossroads in our country," said Abel, 55. "I feel like for the sake of our country and our family I had to stand up and be heard."

I bet if they were really committed they could do a complete fast and fast the gay away in a few weeks.

Baby Jesus demands them to eat cookies and fudge!

hating and persecuting others is easy 'faith'

Serious personal physical sacrifice, not so much.
