So I guess it depends on the reason why your friend works out. Is it to become more appealing to his sexual demo, or has he found some way to serve God through his effort? (Kinda like Samson in a non philistine killing way.) it all becomes a matter of the heart.
So... Biblical Christianity has nothing Biblical to say about this? It's just a matter of gut feeling and motives?
no it does. You just have to approach it from the right angle. Biblical Christianity is not a list of rules one must follow. It is freedom from said rules to worship god with all of one's being. (Heart, Mind Spirit and STRENGTH)
If God has blessed you with the genetics and inclination to work out to the point you would consider yourself to be a body builder, and if you can somehow focous the 'attention' you get from others then body building is your lot or talent that you must double for the glory of God. If however one uses body building as a means of self glory then it is a sin like anyother.

What do you mean, "you all"? There's only one of me, last time I checked. If there's some other Stimbos running about out there, I hope they're making a damn sight better go of it than me.
My point, in case anyone missed it, is that you just ascribed to me the same hive-mentality stereotype behaviour you gleaned from my words about you - and didn't even realise it.

I know how much you like the term you all or you people. (as about as much as i like when you people call us sheep)
