Just Jack Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Why Going to Church Can Make You Fat Maybe it's all the church socials, but a new study finds that those who attend religious activities are more likely to gain weight than those who don't go to church as often. Religious involvement is linked to many positive health outcomes, such as happiness, lower rates of smoking and alcohol use, and even a longer life. But research has also suggested that middle-aged adults who are more religious are more likely to be obese.

Especially the ones about intelligence and religion; church people have lower IQ's then those who do not go to church...and now they're fatter?! I think this is crap. Church cannot be "blamed" for this.
H2o Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 It's the trips to the local buffet after service that adds to the weight gain. Have you ever gone to The Golden Corral on a Sunday?
BuffaloBill Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Pole dancing for Jesus anyone? what's next - get naked and run around for religion? I guess we would kind of return to the Greece of ancient history.

Church does make you fat.....there is the breakfast before and all of the pot lucks afterwards.
