What’s the point of railing at stuff we know is stupid. Just laugh at them and keep going. What a waste of time.

Philippians 3:17-19 says, “Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.”

Proverbs 23:1-2 says, “When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.”

Titus 2:11-12 says, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age”

I wouldn’t say that this Christian diet movement is “just one more way for the fundies to completely separate themselves from the rest of society.” It’s Biblically based, and I’m pretty sure that of the Christian society believes in the Bible, especially its passages regarding morality.

Likewise, the idea that weight gain is the result of a lack of faith has its roots in charismatic circles. If a lack of faith is to blame, then why is it that there are studies suggesting that clergy are the most overweight career group in the world? Could be stress? Could it be countless meetings with lots of junk food? A 60-hour workweek with highly irregular eating and exercising patterns?

The reality of this post makes me laugh – only because I know it’s really out there. I’m saddened by how many fall into trap of believing that a “Christian” diet is somehow better than a “non-Christian” diet. The principles are the same…the only thing that changes is the role of prayer – and prayer can be added and equally effective to any diet.

One last thing, since when did God become so superficial that he cares more about our outsides than what’s happening on the inside?

They make your prayers much more effective.
