        Sometimes, being an asshole has its advantages and can be useful. If you fat shame a person, it could bring motivation to become healthier.

          If you fat shame a person, it could bring motivation to become healthier.

          https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6565398/

          “exposure to weight bias triggers physiological and behavioural changes linked to poor metabolic health and increased weight gain.”

          “The more people are exposed to weight bias and discrimination, the more likely they are to gain weight and become obese, even if they were thin to begin with”

          “Fat shaming is also linked to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and exercise avoidance”

          What you are advocating for directly leads to higher rates of obesity.

          Being fat is objectively bad for your health. Sure. But being sexually active is objectively good for your health.

          Shaming anyone though, rarely leads to any positive change. Probably the opposite.

      What I don’t get is why you automatically assume that just because she doesn’t agree with what’s in the Bible that she’s promiscuous. Where does she mention sexuality?

      Everything you ranted about was predicated on your assumption that she’s a slut and it all falls apart when you realize that your assumption is could be wrong.

        Yes, I assumed it was about sexuality.

        Marriages and religions have been optional for many generations. Most of the time that I hear about religions, it’s always related to some sin.

        I don’t see much what else could it be.

          It has been explained repeatedly why someone might oppose the teachings of the Bible. They have nothing to do with sexuality. You just choose to ignore it because it doesn’t fit your agenda.

            Maybe it is. By curiosity, I studied the Bible for many months, maybe years, without identifying myself as a Christian.

            It probably shaped many of my worldviews.
