There is no significant organized secular anti-Gay movement.
You might be happy with your weight. Or you are not happy, but managing weight is difficult.
What this post is about is weaponizing Evangelical Biblical literalism and this new Christian anti-obesity movement to bring down anti-Gay Christianity.
It isn’t about you.
Christians are always trying to be holier than thou and the Jesus business is very competitive.
Christian Post, Aug. 19, 2026, “Mark Driscoll discusses whether obese pastors should be disqualified from ministry.”
Citing Titus 1 and 1 Timothy 3, Pastor Mark Driscoll, who leads Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, recently addressed whether obesity should disqualify pastors from ministry.
The question was supposed to be light and funny, but in a recent episode of his eponymous podcast, when asked, “Are obese pastors disqualified?,” Driscoll suggested that obesity among pastors — which he claimed was especially endemic among some Baptist pastors — is the result of a tolerated vice.

For the Gospel, Jun. 23, 2026, “We Need to Address Pastoral Obesity.”
We preach against sexual immorality. We warn against greed. We confront pride, gossip, drunkenness, and false doctrine. Yet there is one glaring issue sitting in plain sight in countless churches that rarely receives serious attention: pastoral obesity. [Boldface added.]

The Gospel Coalition, Nov. 17, 2010, “What’s the Big Deal about being a Fat Pastor?
Gays are less likely than straights to be obese.
At the 2010 Southern Baptist Convention (annual meeting) free health screenings were administered. Of those screened 73 percent were found to be overweight or obese.

Pentacostal African American denominations are often anti-Gay.
Denominational Differences in Obesity Among Black Christian Adults: Why Gender and Life Stage Matter. Oct. 24, 2021.
Results suggest that for middle-aged Pentecostal women, and men and women who attend church most frequently, the odds of having obesity were comparably higher than their respective counterparts.

Titus 1:11-13 Revised Standard Version
11 they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have no right to teach. 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith [Boldface added.]
Proverbs 23:20-21 Revised Standard Version
20 Be not among winebibbers, or among gluttonous eaters of meat;
21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags. [Boldface added.]
Proverbs 28:7 Revised Standard Version
7 He who keeps the law is a wise son, but a companion of gluttons shames his father. [Boldface added.]
Deuteronomy 21:20 Revised Standard Version
20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ [Boldface added.]
Proverbs 23:2 Revised Standard Version
2 and put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite.
Philippians 3:19 Revised Standard Version
19 Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
We can demoralize and psychologically disable anti-Gay Christians.
We can make their anti-Gay campaigns look hypocritical.
We can subject the anti-Gay Christians to public ridicule and demoralize them.
Evangelicals, in particular pastors, are obese. When some obese anti-Gay Christian is attacking Gays, we should ask why they are sinners and given to gluttony and why don’t they “Pray the lard way” or some equivalent.
We can suggest prayers and slogans for them such as:
A third helping is Satan’s temptation.
Love the sinner, hate the lard.
Lord give me the strength to push away from the table.
Lord lead me not to Taco Bell.
Pray the cookies away.
On social media when obese anti-Gay Christians post, we can post memes with Biblical statements against gluttony or a link to Driscolls or other YouTubes.
It might be argued that we could lead to anti-Gay Christians to deal with gluttony, and live longer to plague us. However, I argue two things. Stress tends to cause people to eat. We are getting them to think about food.
There are a lot of pastors who are getting burned out and might drop out with a little more stress.
Anti-Gay obese Christians might stop going to church.
We can teach a lesson to the anti-Gay Christians that if they attack Gays there might be consequences.
