It is not good to be glib about even hypothetical situations if you ae not fully appraised of all the contributing factors. And please, do not bring up the gluttony angle again, because YES, my mother over ate, and it probably saved my life.
The part bolded in black above is completely untrue. I know SEVERAL poor people, and homeless people, and NONE of them are overweight or even remotely fat.. And MOST women eat extra anyway, while pregnant, not only to give the baby nutrients, but because their constantly hungry and now eating for two, or more.. So eating extra while pregnant really has nothing to do with gluttony, as much as it has to do with NECESSITY.
There are a number of people here who copy and paste posts/blogs from other sources, and it is true they do not get a lot of attention, probably in part because the sources are sometimes seen as heretical. One or two people used to get attention because they never gave the sources they were plagiarizing from, until they started giving the source. Now they are largely ignored.

How can I know we believe the same unless I ask. I have been asking for sometime now. I could just ASSUME, But people seem to get mad when they assume, and I have found that most the time when we assume we are wrong anyway.
see there you go. You can not just stop at the gospel. to make sure we are on the right page or not. You have to put in all those works.
Are you a child, or do you have a psychological problem? When did you last have your counselling session.
