Americans judge behavior, find overeating okay, affairs wrong
I guess this would not be the time to discuss my relationship with chocolate, eh?

"The groups with a majority saying that eight or more of the behaviours are morally wrong include: conservatives, frequent church-goers, white evangelical Christians and those ages 65 and older," the survey said.


Obviously, these folks missed the verses about gluttony.

"The activity that drew the most widespread moral disapproval, 88 per cent, was 'married people having an affair', while the one that drew the least (32 per cent) was 'overeating'," pew said in a statement.


It goes on to add that half of the respondents found homosexuality and abortion to be morally wrong. Isn't it interesting that the study asked about the 'moral' judgement and not the 'legal' belief?
