Oh my God, what is wrong with you? Just because they may be genetically born obese or their eating habits are not educated enough does not mean that God will send them into hell. That is a bias statement from your own dirty opinion. I have friends who are obese, and they attend church every Sunday and Saturday night mass. They live a healthily despite their health problems. Do not blame their health with religion because it is no different than racism and religion. You should be ashamed of yourself to ask such biased question that pinpointed only a selected group of people. Gluttony is a deadly sin in the Christian religion, but you have the wrong idea. Gluttony meant in the Bible the indulgence of too much pleasure such as drugs, alcohol, and sex; not obesity or too much food, you can a lot of food, and still be holier than thou. There is nowhere in the Bible that says that gluttony (according to you: obesity) is one of the 7 deadly sins. There is proof. Proverbs 6:16-19 declares: “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: (1) haughty eyes, (2) a lying tongue, (3) hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked schemes, (5) feet that are quick to rush into evil, (6) a false witness who pours out lies, and (7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” However, this list is not what most people understand as the “seven deadly sins.”
There are sinners who are healthy and skinny, can they have the opportunity of hell for their sins. For your information, I do not mind helping them out because that would be the Christian thing to do. Your statement is the opposite of what God intended. Your hatred is just another unethical opinion that should not be motivated in the acts of religion. Besides, spell your words correctly because that makes you look like an idiot. Why would ask that question??? I cannot believe you would ask something that incredibly rude. God love all his creation, and some obese (politically correct term rather than fat people) people have done great thing in this country and all over the world. My friends did a lot of charity work for a local foster care service. She is the most nicest person and she is totally self-sufficient. Beside, if they do need help, have the common courtesy to actually help them. Being a good christian is about love and cleanliness to your SOUL! Not physical appearances. That is so ignorant of you to cast the sins on obese people. You should definitely be ashamed of yourself. Research and read more about it before making such an ignorant statement like that. You could of made 65% of the population angry at you. Learn to spell "because". Your exaggeration are just a bunch of assumptions and half-baked truths. Shame on you. :o

Yet another person who doesn't know what salvation is about. Lack of sin is not the ticket to heaven. WE are ALL sinners, we ALL deserve to burn in hell. No one really cares which sins you commit, the first one condemns you. Quit spreading this ridiculous notion and passing it off as Christian thinking.
Salvation is solely based on making Jesus Christ Lord in your life. Loving and obeying Him.

Honesty is important. Pretending to be what you are not does not help on here. Did the issue you presented really concern you or is it more like the movement in the 70's to get rid of all cattle because they are not naturally occurring but created by breeding, and there are millions of them, and they fart methane gas into the air, which leads to raised air pollution, which can cause all kinds of bad things.

The seven deadly sins aren't actually llike hellworthy stone this man to death sins..... They are sins that will kill you. Get it? That's why they are called deadly sins. They're not even in the bible.
Greek monastic theologian Evagrius of Pontus first drew up a list of eight offenses and wicked human passions:. They were, in order of increasing seriousness: gluttony, lust, avarice, sadness, anger, acedia, vainglory, and pride.

Hope not. I find fat people some of the nicest people I know. I almost wish everyone was fat just so we would all be nice.

If that's the case, where does that leave those of us who are not fat nor skinny, and who enjoy a little extra cream in our coffee but aren't lazy?
I'm in trouble. :-)
(BTW, no, you are not right. God judges our hearts, and if we accept his gift of salvation in Christ, the number of pounds we have isn't going to send us to hell)
