I really love having the tag feature. It'll help me remember in the future when I've met someone that slut shames people to defend Christianity
Right?
Like maybe she wants to be able to dress comfortably without the rules of some goat herder's book of fairytale and moral values.
Or the right to speak without a man to speak for her.
Or to open a bank account without her husband or father being on the account too.
Or one of the other thousands of things women have had to deal with, outside of fucking sexual freedom, or still deal with thanks to this holy book.
Also, she should be able to have sex freely with other consenting adults without shame too.
What I don't get is why you automatically assume that just because she doesn't agree with what's in the Bible that she's promiscuous. Where does she mention sexuality?
Everything you ranted about was predicated on your assumption that she's a slut and it all falls apart when you realize that your assumption ~~is~~ could be wrong.
It has been explained repeatedly why someone might oppose the teachings of the Bible. They have nothing to do with sexuality. You just choose to ignore it because it doesn't fit your agenda.
Maybe it is. By curiosity, I studied the Bible for many months, maybe years, without identifying myself as a Christian.
It probably shaped many of my worldviews.

"exposure to weight bias triggers physiological and behavioural changes linked to poor metabolic health and increased weight gain."
"The more people are exposed to weight bias and discrimination, the more likely they are to gain weight and become obese, even if they were thin to begin with"
"Fat shaming is also linked to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and exercise avoidance"
What you are advocating for directly leads to higher rates of obesity.
Being fat is objectively bad for your health. Sure. But being sexually active is objectively good for your health.
Shaming anyone though, rarely leads to any positive change. Probably the opposite.
