Wacky Wednesday--It's A Sin To Be Fat

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~That’s no way to treat the temple of the Holy Spirit.
~Being unhealthy is a form of suicide.
~It’s bad stewardship of the body gift you’ve been given.
~It makes you less able to do things because you get winded so easily.
~Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit.
~Gluttony and sloth are both deadly sins.
~In this culture, it offends people and prevents them from hearing the good news you have to give them.
~Women should be attractive for their husbands.
~How can you be fat when people are starving?
~Our treasure is supposed to be Christ, not succulent food.
