What is this!? The only religion is that of the holy God Emperor!

Accept the Tau'va!
Let there be an end to this bloodshed!

Does smoking crack count as Breathitarian?

[Desiderium]

I don't know, but I sure as hell know smoking pot isn't.

[eerr]

Yes, these people are completely fucked in the head, and come in two flavors.  Idiotic people who make shit up to feel/appear special, and even more idiotic people who believe them and try to emulate their magic powers.  There are a lot fewer of either than even mentioning them might make it appear.

And if you're going to invent fantastic abilities, not needing to eat is the best they could come up with?  I mean, I've gotten as far as osmosis, but Breatharianism is simultaneously ridiculous and really lame.

So Aquizzar, which breatharian did you talk to.

Personally, I find this extremely cruel to those who are actually starving. "Just stare at the sun! You can get all your nourishment from it!" Seriously, seriously messed up.

[JoshuaFH]

You laugh now! but just you wait until genetics advances enough to make human/plant hybrids, and humans can photosynthesize all the nourishment they need just from sitting in the sun for an hour or so!

THEN WHO'LL BE LAUGHING?!

Still us, you giant rutabaga.

[Siquo]

THEN WHO'LL BE LAUGHING?!

Not the sunbathers who've become obese by sitting in the sun too much.

I wonder if a sunset would taste different from a pale winter sun, for example.


Anyhow, breatharians are helping evolution. Spread the word!

Eh, if we photosynthesized we'd still need vitamins and minerals from somewhere.

[Creaca]

We replace our toes with nutrition absorbing Root-Tentacles.

Que the creepy foot tentacle porn.

[G-Flex]

Eh, if we photosynthesized we'd still need vitamins and minerals from somewhere.

Besides, if we got our energy from photosynthesis, we probably couldn't even be able to afford being warm-blooded anymore, or to move very much or do much of anything.

[Creaca]

Perhaps if we became powered solely by magma?

We have the luxury of fat reserves, a sun to warm us and a stomach that can digest things if things get dicey or cold.

 Also, please don't confuse these people for people who fast. Fasting is actually a rather good way to train ones mind and willpower, so long as you know it is like exercise and not unlocking magic powers.

Or you could be like that monk who recharged his batteries by publicly setting himself on fire.  That caused a big stir.

EDIT:  It has come to my attention that he was, in fact, not gaining any energy from doing that.

I just assumed by "Recharging his Batteries" you where hinting at a weird sexual fetish.
