Are Fat People Discriminated Against?
I seem to recall a discussion about this a while back but I can't find it on AFF.
Are fat people discriminated against? Do they miss out on jobs and ministry opportunities because of their weight? If you had to choose between exact replicas of the same church - yet one church had a fat pastor and the other a stud muffin, would you choose the stud muffin solely based upon the other guy's obesity problem?
Are fat people paid less?

I'd choose the one with the fat pastor. His weight alone would let me know that this man enjoys good fellowship. And I love good fellowship.

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)....

I don't know why fat people would be paid less.
I would choose the stud muffin.

I preface my comments by telling you that I used to be overweight, but am now in excellent shape. .
Corporately, there is definite discrimination.
Within the context of the Apostolic sphere, there doesn't seem to be as much. Look at some of most respected speakers in the UPC. 
People, that includes sinners and saints, are definitely more attracted to people who have managed their lives well. Often, being overwieght is an indication of a lack of self-discipline/ self-control.

Maybe you can give insight to those of us trapped in the cubicle farms.
