Gluttony equals fat? Ones lack of exercise, hormonal issues and metabolism has nothing to do with fat?
Your humanistic / government indoctrination is clouding your ever dimming point of view.
Your belief that since everyone sins at some point nothing is actually sinful is of Satan.

You hardly apply this attitude to yourself.
Watch!
Could you [b] plainly explain how many verses in John chapter one are authentic teaching of Jesus an ...[text shortened]... many are wrapped around mythology added latter ?
That's only 51 verses to deal with.[/b]

If you have no way to demonstrate how you separate wrapped around myth from authentic teachings of Jesus then you're asking everyone just to take your word for it, that you know what is authentic and what is not in the NT.
I don't just take your word for it.

The closest thing to gluttony that I see are Thanksgiving. Christmas and Easter dinner.
Other than that, I would say people are over weight due to lack of exercise and poor food choices, not food volume.

And I can tell when someone wants to adopt it to add dignity to their God unbelieving, God rejecting philosophical worldview.
No ThinkOfOne, your twistings of Scripture can't hide behind "Improve your reading skills!"

I thought the discussion was gluttony, which means eating and eating and eating every day as a lifestyle choice.
Originally posted by EladarTheir lifestyle choice is to overeat. They eat more than they need and that excess is stored as fat. They are gluttons.
Now you give your society's values.

What "society's values" are you referring to? I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.
