Obesity and religion. With the recent post about the eat beast dying in a fire, who was apparently religious, can it be said that any religious person at all has an excuse to be fat?  This isn't meant to draw praise or criticism about faith in general. Rather, my point is that no religious person, ever, should be significantly overweight. But they're some of the fattest that I see. Maybe they should take the fork out of their mouth before they point out the beer in my hand.
