I'd rather be fat
Seriously folks. I was born in Arizona. lived 8 years in Texas and 7 in Oregon. And I am always amazed at how the "fat people" are more discriminated against that even races. I think it is one of our greatest tragedies to underestimate or treat people badly because of race, color, creed or body type. I don't know if it's sinful anger or righteous anger, but it cannot be right to make fun of people around and in public where it will get back to them. someone always knows someone. or some unthinking slob walks past and says oh yeah isn't that the so so that she/he was talking about. It disturbing hurtful and so unchristian it makes my blood boil. I get so tired of people thinking that they are better than someone else because they are more fit, dress better, have a better job, is in society. I grew up with one of the most racist nastiest women as a mother and I guess if you don't grow up watching it tear people apart maybe you don't know how much your "little jokes" hurt and can actually get people to think lowly of themselves maybe even commit suicide. Now the actions they take may be their sin but you have sinned too. God does talk about us not going to excess about stuff, but he is even more firm about us loving each other. So I'm thinking a lot more love and a lot less humiliation (making fun of other, etc.) We are coming to a time in all our lives when things are getting tense and we will be judged by the world more and more. Heaven forbid they be right about us because of this. We are suppose to be the very imagine of God to unbelievers. and I don't think God makes fun of anyone. Do you?
