Gluttony is eating to excess. Many fat people might eat more than others, but it’s hardly gluttony. Never mind the MANY people who just are fat (or thin) by nature. Don’t believe it? Look at different races/ethnicities who tend to have fatness or thinness.
This very day I am dealing with this immorality issue, or at least I hoped to if my relative would not stand me up. I am very sensitive about it both personally touching me, and because we have become a society obsessed with sex above all else - and look what it has wrought. We are fractured and it’s all because everyone just HAS to pleasure themselves.
Sorry, but I don’t fall for that “self-righteous” berating. Amazing how that term shows up immediately when some people DARE to shame people who SINNED, to try to STOP IT, because it is sick and not healthy. “Positive reinforcement” without “negative reinforcement” does not work, does not help things get better. It’s about time people start speaking up about it and we get some shame back in society.

First, it did not show up “immediately”. I read through a lot of self righteous posts before I posted mine. It might also be that I see those posts as stating the obvious. I mean, yeah, if you are not married, don’t have sex. Duh.
My problem was with “the way” it was being said in some posts. It’s like a chain smoking Baptist condemning someone for getting drunk.
In this thread, it's more an issue of some people thinking that only the MAN should bear any penalties for non-marital sex, with no thought to subjecting the single mom to any penalties.
