My philosophy is that I very strongly believe that it is not moral to freely and consciously allow people do this to themselves, and that at a certain point an intervention must be made. They live in preventable agony & anguish. By force, against their will, for their own good.
I'm in a similar position as an extremely healthy 33 year old. Flawless skin, excellent stamina & strength (though the cardio can always use work, I'm not one for endurance training, though I regularly power through 3-hour workouts with minimal fatigue), excellent form. Zero physical agony. I achieved this of my own volition which took alot of sacrifice & simple grit and discipline of bearing through the very difficult initial stages of going from a largely sedentary gamer & school nerd to a high performing strength athlete. But most people simply will not do this of their own free will and need direction, which is why I support fat camps for instance, as the reward is worth the sacrifice. It's also motivated by the public good - a fat, lazy society will degenerate incredibly fast and be conquered by foreign adversaries. It's not moral to allow this to happen, to freely allow anguish and suffering on a catastrophic scale of half a billion people. We must intervene before it's too late.
The reason why Christianity is the supreme religion & way of life is because we actually care about others. More primitive belief systems remain in the stone/iron age because they are incredibly selfish and don't understand the value of strength through unity. Hindus are a weak & conquered people, as are Buddhists. They let their weak and poor suffer while they fiddle. Muslims have historically mowed these people down like grass because Muslims understand strength through unity. I mean Sikhism was literally formed because they were too weak to defend themselves with primitive belief systems and had to adapt.
I mean we already do this with hard drugs like heroin and meth and rightly so. The consequences of allowing people to procure and consume this stuff freely will destroy everyone.
Good for you that you are in great shape. We are not that "50%" and in America when you see a fat person you should run a mile for them in solidarity with their terrible lifestyle choices lol
I agree with you that Christianity is the superior religion and that's because it created a patriarchal structure and a system of rules that lead to the most moral amongst us. Some say the "fear of God" causes you to change your behavior and at least "try and do good" which is the goal of most religions. "Try to do good to others". Islam is the only religion that is intolerant of others and that's why I gave it the least amount of study.
Swami Vivekananda whom is 2nd only to Jesus Christ in my life really put this well when he came to the West by steamboat/train in the late 1800's early 1900's he was the first "Indian" to actually talk at the "Parliament of Reilgions" and absolutely shattered people of Abrahamic faith. Not because Hinduism/Buddhism is "superior" but because guys like Rockefeller never knew such philosophies existed. Rockefeller actually gave the Vedanta Soceity one of the largest "donations" ever and basically said, "I bought the US education system and I'm churning out obedient workers not fiery preachers" but here's a few billion dollars good luck with your "Yoga".
Swami Vivekananda praised Christianity because of the fact they had cohesive structure. In India everyone believes they are "God" already or that "there is no God" so people don't act right. Swami Vivekananda saw how well the Abrahamic faith instilled great faith in their believers where as Hindus/Buddhist/Sikhs were kinda like "meh".
Swami Vivekananda's goal was to strengthen your bond with whatever God/teacher you believe in. To a Vedantist the religion you are born into is more then enough. Swami Vivekananda would say are not the two great teachers, "Jesus Christ and Buddha" enough??? Was not their sacrifice enough??
I am a Catholic but I use Vedanta to strengthen my relationship with Jesus Christ. Never once did my "Swami" ask me to even read a single Hindu scripture/Buddhist scripture. He said, "Oh Jesus Christ is your Lord....good...how can you get closer to him".
