How would someone break the 7 deadly sins? »

So, if gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins, what do you make of obese religious people?

We know, medically, that only a very, very small percentage of obese people have a glandular disorder. Shouldn’t the church start some kind of "let’s stop committing deadly sins" fitness movement or something?

Right! they may be weak.But you may have something there.

  9. The 7 deadly sins where invented by Dante, who was a drunken poet.

    However, there has been suggestion that Christianity and obesity are linked somewhat due to the fact that Christianity is the only major religion with no dietary restrictions.

  10. Obese Catholics. Not religious people, not Christian people, Catholics. Please be a little more specific when talking about people, it creates stereotypes.

    One needs to find the root cause of why a person may be obese….religious or not….

    What is causing the person to eat so much? Are they suffering from depression? What is the root cause? Some people are emotional eaters. Some people have a food addiction and need help. They do not need condemnation, judgment, sneers, mockery, or any other cruel act. They need help. Just like a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol.

    So if ya see someone who is a bit on the chubby side, do not just jump to conclusions and assume that this person is a fat slob. That person could very well be going through a very difficult time and uses food as comfort. So do not laugh or judge or condemn but rather…be a friend to this person.

    Tearing down an obese person by calling such fatty, fatso, slobby, blubberbutt, lardo, Garfield, tubby, Tons of Fat, McDonald’s worshipper, lazy, fat a**, etc is not going to make him or her lose weight any faster.

    Instead encourage the person and be a friend. Find out the root of the problem. Don’t just assume, "Well this person is a fat ass because he/she is lazy!"

    So if you see another fat person, remember:

    Be a friend not a jerk.

    and also think of what it would be like if you were in their shoes.
