Anyway, Bob wants to be my friend. The only problem is that Bob is overweight. While it might not be within my right to judge anyone, I've always seen being overweight as a form of sinful nature. Seeing overweight people (gluttons) in church tends to bother me. It bothers me like those people who smoke or drink, even get tattoos or piercings. In fact, the Bible associates gluttons with drunkards - "And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard" (Deut 21:20). What they do is mostly bad for them. There's no way it pleases God to treat our bodies that way. He made us in His perfect image. We weren't made gluttons.

Randy pretty much knows that the post is really about him. His reply "Before you confront Bob, you seriously need to check your own attitude" also applies to himself, whether he realizes it or not. Who is Randy to lecture us about our sins when he's clearly a glutton and a sloth? What's worse, his whole family is overweight, which implies that he's not taking his duties as Head of Household seriously. A godly husband and father would insist his family not overindulge in food.
Randy continues to backpedal: "Second, you do not know the cause of his physical problems. There may be more there that you know. Perhaps he is slothful and perhaps he does overeat. Perhaps he has one of the many well documented physical conditions that cause him to be overweight. Perhaps he cannot exercise. Perhaps he takes a medication that causes weight gain." Ah, but like Randy constantly lectures his cultists that you're supposed to avoid all appearances of evil. Bullshit excuses aren't good enough if it appears you're a glutton. By being as obese as Randy is and presenting himself as a role model for his cultists, he may lead others to stumble if they overindulge to be as fat as he is.
In summary: Randy is a hypocrite and a fatass.
Wow.
If this isn't a troll, it's taking "holier-than-thou" to a whole new ugly level.
If it is, it's fucking hilarious and Romans15 deserves much acknowledgement for baiting Bro. Randy so (despite the words it took to do it)!
Yes. Let's overlook the fact that some people have serious hormone problems, some are diabetic and some have eating disorders. We all need to be just like you, Romans, you fucking retard. If god made me in his perfect image then he really shot himself in the foot, didn't he?
That's the funniest thread on T4C. Randy knows for sure what Romans is up to - he makes a reference to 'trolling forums one intends to mock' in one of his replies. Thing is, he can't take Romans to task without saying "yeah I know! I'm fat!" Randy doesn't once identify himself with these obese people that he has so much sympathy for. But gee, look at the tolerance and understanding from Randy! Talking about genetics and about how consequences of sins are different to the actual sins. "Gay Plague" anyone?
Priceless.
The fact that you are such an asshole that you can't see that many people suffer from weight problems through no fault of their own is just sad. You are a judgmental little prick who needs to buy a clue.
My aunt has hypothyroidism and she struggles to maintain a reasonable weight with a drug and diet regimine that would curl your hair. And she is still a long way from thin. And despite her Herculean efforts, people like you still make her feel like shit on a daily basis.
He can't even comprehend a simple sentence. Saying that one person happens to be both a "glutton, and a drunkard" doesn't mean that those things have a causal relationship. If I say, my dog is white with brown ears, that doesn't mean that white dogs have brown ears as a rule.
See, the thing is, a lot of fat people have a genetic disposition that makes it extremely difficult for them to be built how you want them to be, no matter how good their diet or how often they excercise.
This is awesome. Whoever you are, Romans15, I salute you! Of course, if s/he isn't a troll... then damn, that's some scary fundie.
Ok, next time be unchristian and hypocritical enough not to befriend supermodels or typical blondes.As usual, a Biblical way to find a justification for prejudice and bad feelings. And by the way, what do you think about Bro. Randy?
I'm Overweight.
I NEVER asked to be like that.
I eat half what normal people eat and I still gain weight.
Most overweight people are like me, it's due to an imbalance in metabolism that make our body store more that yours.
So if I follow you your god made us this way and because we are like this we're sinners?
Go fuck yourself Mr "I'm hollier than you because I'm fit"
And by the way. God can also fuck himself for giving us a non perfect body
Just when you think a person can't possibly be any more of an asshole, they come out with something like this. I try to refrain from being too mean to the t4C kiddies, because they *are* kids, but this just makes me sick. That forum should be closed down; Bro Randy is creating a legion of mindless imbeciles.
Bob has the option to go on a diet and exercise a little more whereas you will probably remain a twat for the whole of your life, Romans15.
Not that he needs friends like you, of course.
And what happened to judging not "lest ye be judged"? Eh?
Unless you're a troll. In which case this particular 20-stone 6' 3" ex-Rugby League forward would like a quiet word with you about the bounds of good taste........ ;0)
Part of being fat is genetics, part of it unhealthy (physical) lifestyle, and part of it mental (such as getting depressed, being bored, etc). There's more to things than meets the eye.
Oh God!
Wouldn't that be the best trolling ever!
Someone with a T-4-C account needs to complain about their preacher. (make it look like they're talking about a real life one.
- Complain that he's a complete hypocrite who says one thing and does another.
- Complain that he's abusing his position of trust.
- Complain that he's woefully ignorant and either lying outright, or making things up to fit into his narrow minded view of the world.
- Complain that he refuses to debate such things and takes a holier than thou attitude and attmepts to shut any discourse down.
Wait for brother Randy to pass judgement on such an abomination before pointing out he was the preacher in question. (maybe string him along for a few posts. Maybe even debate one or two point where Randy's going to come down on the preacher's side a little)
And I bet this guy is not Brad Pitt or Kim Basinger, surely. I mean, why not not befriending sick people, or does who do bad in school?, or wait, what will you do when you become old and ugly and fat?, what will you do, judging people as you do?, didn´t you notice Bro. Randy is overweight too?
In his perfect image? Okay, brains, where did he dream up females then?
MY Goddess religion was there EONS before your goatherding camelfuckers showed their ugly faces with the bible. My Goddess gave birth to your "god". Go look at the provable historical record.
Oh, wait--that would require thinking on your part. Too bad.
but...aren't Christians supposed to be accepting of everyone, esp. those whom others would bully and mistreat? Or am I just not righteous enough to see the good in--okay, never mind. this is making me sick.
My troll senses, they tingle!
At least, I'd hope it's a troll, because if not, damn. O_o
Romans15:
We, who are about to troll, salute you. Rock on.
Unless you're the real thing, in which case...justwow.
I'm "overweight" (about 10 or 15 pounds overweight by body-fat estimates, obese by BMI standards) -- and I eat less and exercise more than most of my skinny friends.
Then again, there isn't all that much difference between the attitude of fast-metabolism skinny people who just know that everyone with a bit of padding does nothing but sit around eating junk food and fundies who just know that everyone who isn't part of their church is either hopelessly empty or a moustache-twirling villain.
Well, to be fair, it's in the Bible, and it's the perfect response to people who complain about drinking or getting tattoos.
Treat others as you want to be treated, remember. If you want to be cast away for being stupid, then you may cast him away for being fat.
Isn’t the next verse after that, something about stoning him with stones until he is dead? Lovely
I usually choose my friends based on their personalities, but I'm an immoral atheist heathen.
I'm overweight, I smoke, and I sometimes drink.
But don't worry. You'll see a zebra on Mars before you see me in church.
Not that I gave a shit about what you think or what it says in Deuteronomy, and the number of obese people in God fearing America suggests that a hell of a lot of others don't give a flying fuck, either.
"And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard" (Deut 21:20)"
I'm going to guess that you don't have any clue as to what the next verse in Deuteronomy says you are to do with sons like that...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
