Many fundies say obese people have a "medical condition"...why can you believe that fat people are born that way...but, homosexuals aren't?
Gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins...if someone does not turn from their sin, they will not inherit the kingdom of God...according to fundies...therefore, someone who remains fat is going to hell...correct?
Or, are they born that way? Can't have it both ways folks...Again, obese people control what they put in their mouth...just like gay people do.

I have a Baptist friend who is overweight and she agrees that it is a sin (not taking care of the body which supposedly is the temple of God.)
It's awfully funny how Jerry Falwell and John Hagee don't preach about this sin, isn't it?

Well, what can I say? The fundamentalists enjoy their bake sales, but they can't keep their head off of what two people of the same sex might do in their bedroom. Sometimes I swear it is a sexual obsession on their part, rewritten in some strange religious way. Take Jerry Falwell died from a heart attack after chowing on a bacon and egg breakfast, even though he was very obese and prone to cardiac problems. Falwell called the separation of church and state a tool of "satan" and was one of the most irritating opponents of laws granting homosexuals equal rights. Not that I believe either homosexuals or fat people are going to hell. I'm not religious. But one group is statistically going to die before another group, and it's not the people most churches are focusing on...

Okay, James...God loves you. It's true. God loves YOU. God loves you so much he was willing to die for your sins.
Are you sinful? Do you have any sins to confess (in your heart)?
What are there?
What did Jesus die for you?
Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
-Matthew 9:12

Heaven is for repentant people who believe in God, and know they need him to live.
