Talk:Atheism and obesity (view source)

I just find it interesting that we would concern ourselves with the incidence of obesity in atheists, as this seems rather non-sequitor. Why not look at things that are more related to faith and morality such as crime rates (http://current.com/community/92831935_atheists-supply-less-than-1-of-prison-populations-while-christians-make-up-75.htm) (http://www.pitzer.edu/academics/faculty/zuckerman/Zuckerman_on_Atheism.pdf) or sexual morality (http://spq.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/73/1/33) or racism and ethnocentrism (http://www.pitzer.edu/academics/faculty/zuckerman/Zuckerman_on_Atheism.pdf) even intelligence would be more telling than obesity (http://spq.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/73/1/33) [[User:CatholicBill]]

:As I understand it, the argument is that obesity is itself linked to most of these factors. For sexual morality, see [[Homosexuality and obesity]]. For intelligence, see the oft-made point that obese individuals may be ignoring scientific research into diet and exercise. For ethnocentricity, one might perhaps suggest that obese atheists are ignoring healthy ethnic foods such as brown rice and mung beans (should this be added to the article?). So you see, its not that those issues are excluded, it's that effort is made to cover as many issues as possible, as amply as possible. The expansive obsesity writings enable anti-atheist fingers to be dipped into many pies.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 11:41, 21 December 2011 (EST)
