A Baptist preacher (and good friend) once told me, “Don’t preach against drinking wine in California; don’t preach against smoking tobacco in the Carolinas; don’t preach against overeating ANYWHERE in the USA!”
He was joking. Sort of.
ANYONE can preach against gay marriage. If you want to see folks waddle for the exits, try preaching about gluttony...
;>)
Good point. Gluttony is a sin. Have you ever read CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters? He makes a very interesting observation about what true gluttony entails. :)
