Obesity harms the body. It shortens one's lifespan. It not only harms the person, it can be shown that it harms others, and to many it is offensive, and therefore wrong.

I have no trouble preaching against obesity. In most cases it is lack of self-control, and as for me?

For example, I have an allergy to most perfumes. I am so sensitive to the smell of perfume that if my wife simply drives a woman wearing perfume home I may have a reaction because of their clothes. If a church does not take a stand against something so blatantly evil and wrong then what is wrong with the church?

Are you sure? Canadians are on the metrical system. Maybe you are actually 145 kilos, which would account for your weighty thoughts on the BB. ;-)

Would a new convert, who is struggling against his nicotine addiction, be denied membership? If so the church is legalistic.
