One aspect of the atheist influence is gluttony. Look around you next time you go to the store, especially if you live in the South, everybody has a big fat ass or a gut that hangs over like an apron. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Jesus said in his great discourse on faith:

"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"

Gluttony is a lack of faith. A lack of faith is part and parcel of the atheistic influence. Show me an obese person, and I’ll show you a slave to this world, a slave who’s only comforts are the indulgence of his or her bodily pleasures, a hedonist, an atheist.

But let me also say this, even if a person is obese, if they are losing weight in the name of Christ, though they are currently overweight, they are not the person I’m talking about, for those people have repented. They are perfect and it doesn’t matter what they’re body looks like.
