Local Provo Resident Tommy Robinson has reportedly been very critical of people around the world choosing to fast today, arguing that it is “completely useless and unhelpful.” Robinson took a short break from recreating the entire BYU campus in the world of Minecraft to share his thoughts.
“It is a complete waste of time and energy to not eat or drink for 24 hours. We all need to stay in peak physical condition right now if we’re going to beat this thing.” says Robinson, downing a can of Monster before turning back to the computer he has been sitting in front of for 2 days straight.
Although gathering the diamond ore required to make stronger armor in Minecraft is Robinson’s top priority at the moment, he recognizes how important it is to take the time to regularly discourage someone on the internet from living their faith: “Every 4 hours or so I take a break from exploring dungeons to hop on Facebook and own someone who is fasting. What a waste of time.”
Robinson was initially surprised to hear that fasting includes a donation of money to care for the poor, but quickly retorted that ordering pizza would be more beneficial to the local economy.
