LENT 2024 - DAY 17 - Isn't fasting "extreme"?

If only I had a dollar for every time someone has asked me? Isn't fasting something extreme? Isn't it dangerous? 

Have extremists throughout history used fasting? Yes. 

Haven't some cults been into lots of fasting? Yes.

Hasn't it been misused/abused by certain Christians/Christian groups? Yes.

BUT I'LL ADD ANOTHER QUESTION:

Haven't most Christians throughout history never fasted at all, ever? Yes.

Today, my blog post is a short response to a recent Christian leader who effectively was disparaging the practice of fasting, due to the way it can be misused.
