WEDNESDAY, March 23 (HealthDay News) -- New research finds that people who frequently attend religious services are significantly more likely to become obese by the time they reach middle age.

After adjusting their statistics to take into account factors such as race, the researchers found that 32 percent of those who attended services the most became obese by middle age, Feinstein said.

By contrast, only 22 percent of those who attended services the least became obese.

Well, I mean, why not be fat if you're religious?  I mean, you go to heaven with a bunch of gold and virgins when you die, right?  Why not speed up the process?  Listen, I think that when we die, we're just dead.  No golden gates.  No escalator to the top.  No seventy virgins.  None of that bull shit.  But if you're into that stuff, why not be fat while you're down here?  It's heaven man, you're not going to be fat in heaven.  You're going to look awesome and get to play PS3 and hook up with a zillion Mila Kunis's all day.  Fuck it, live it up while you're sacrificing the only good sex you'll ever have premarital sex, booze, and gambling and crap.  Ya know what isn't a sin?  Buffalo Wild Wings, that's what.  So live it up all ye faithful.  Expedite that heart attack.  Live the dream.
