Does Atheism Lead to Weight Gain?

[firedragon]

Who in their right minds would change avatars often?!

Hey. You do too. MM, I will send you a ticket.

 

[firedragon]

Have we decided whether we're (well, us atheists) are going to gain weight yet?

My roommates made lettuce wraps tonight with shredded meat (I forget the name, it's Peruvian) and I might have had two.

Have you tried Tapir meat?

I live in Texas where there's an abundance of overweight christians....so I don't think it has anything to do with being christian or atheist, I think it has more to do with the culture. People in Texas love to eat...plain and simple. Although Austin, TX is sort of a liberal bastion, as well as a college town and there seems to be quite a few atheists there and most of them vegan and skinny, but again, I think that's more the culture of Austin and not a reflection on atheists.

From what i have seen of America it seems to me the bible belt tends to be obese... Take from that whatever you want

Obesity:

Close enough.

You could overlay a map of the bedrock and wind direction/acid rain. Limestone and acid cause co2 which can cause hallucination. They too will closely fit the bible belt...

And tooth decay. Also teenage pregnancy.

1) Atheists don't eat kosher or halal.

Actually I do. Just not all the time.

Besides, whilst I love me a HSP, I'm not sure anyone can claim eating them is actually going to help me lose weight.

Would be rather odd seeing an aussie fly the confederate flag.

You see the Confederate flag a surprising amount in rural Quebec.

Good old Tx. Where you here when bluebell was closed for listeria? When they re-opened, everyone rushed to get their bluebell - our grocery had someone stationed at the frozen food section enforcing "2 gallons per customer" in the chaos. Where else would people jump to buy and support an unsanitary food company?

Houston is religiously and in every way diverse - Hindu, Muslim, Jews, all variety of Christians, there is Houston Oasis | Secular Community etc. It is not like the Bible belt, it seems to be a good sort of southern hospitality going on down here. but yes. overweight

As an underweight atheist I can say from a personal standpoint, no

Disbelieve harder!!!

Why in the world are you changing your avatar so often. I liked your previous one. I mean previous to the previous.

I preferred your orange alligator avatar.

I preferred your orange alligator avatar.

Lol. Yeah I remember that one. I cant believe you remembered.

I can remember your former avatar from months ago.

I can't, however, remember why I walked into another room.

Psst. I have the same problem. Dont tell anyone.

It depends on the type of conservatism.

Most of the time people don’t respond strongly against things like “I think states should have more power” or “I think there should be fewer taxes.”

It’s the sad fact that post-80’s conservatism (in America at least) has gotten in the business of making a culture out of disenfranchising and marginalizing people (for being homosexual, or trans, or a woman, or foreign, or…)

I was talking about the type of conservatism that most conservatives believe in. Most conservatives do not oppose the rights of gays or transgender people. But we believe the transgender thing and all the sexual labels has going to far.

There are other countries that have higher taxes than the U.S, but a lot of those countries give back a lot of things free for the taxes they charge from the citizens.

You did, but you hid it in your eye socket.

Don't think I didn't notice.
