Are fat people discriminated against? Do they miss out on jobs and ministry opportunities because of their weight?

Are fat people paid less?

I think people are discriminated against because of their looks. Good-looking trim people are usually given better jobs than less attractive overweight people.
If all things were equal between the pastors except for the weight I'd pick the trim stud muffin. I'd be afraid for the fat guy that when he was preaching and turning red he'd have a heart attack any minute. Oh yeah, and trim guys tend not to break through to the levels below when shockamooing (the trim guys may even spit less -- espeically if the pastor was grossly overweight enough to have fat lips)....
