Gluttony is a sin in their bible Prov 23:21, Ecces 10:18, Rom 13:13, Phil 3:19 and 1 Pet 4:3 It is afterall the chief cause of obesity in America. It kills MILLIONS of people a year from heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer and more. It is probably highly responsible for our current rising cost of health care. Childhood obesity is an epidemic in our country.
What about Gossip. The Apostle Peter listed gossipers and busybodies among the same group as murderers and theives in 1 Peter 4:15, other passages condemning gossip as sinful are Prov 11:13, Jam 4:11, 1 Tim 3:11 and 5:13 and 14.
Some Christians believe that what is a sin for them is an ethical and social ill for everyone (as only they have the absolute moral authority on everything). But no gay person has ever hurt ME or my family and most are productive members of society. Perhaps it is a sin for Christians but for wider society, there is no socio/ethical harm.
Unlike gossip and gluttony.
