All Is Well


I think I fixed my blog problem! (Just lucky!)

Hey, I found something to blame my overweight on! This from the national media! (As Dave Barry says, I am NOT making this up!)

Almost two weeks ago, the Chicago Sun-Times looked at a study in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion that suggests religion makes people fat. This week, The Indianapolis Star followed up with an important nuance: It's not really religion that makes people fat. In fact, churchgoers are less likely to be obese. But consuming religious media does have a high correlation factor with obesity. Fortunately, the study only seems to have asked about religious television, radio, and books, so you'll probably be safe reading this blog.

    Sorry, your not going to get out of it that easy. It's not religion that makes us get fat, that's just hilarious! Really, who come sup with this stuff?

    Hey, it came from a scholarly journal, so it has to be true!

    Maybe it's driving two hours a day while listening to Christian radio with detours through fast food joints!

    Guilty!!
