    What if you are bodybuilding to be healthy and strong, and you don't care what you look like? Is that a sin?

    No sir.
    To be healthy is obviously not a sin.
    To be strong can possibly be a sin, depends on the reasons for becoming strong I guess. If you want to become strong to impress other people and/or to raise your status in society then it's a sin.

    You are 100% right, and I agree with you. It depends on ones motives.

    Yes, but I think the majority of bodybuilders have (at least some) sinful motives, including me. I think it's hard/next-to-impossible to be sinless and body build.

    Generally bodybuilding starts off with envy (envy to be someone else), and then to achieve your goal you have to eat excessively (gluttony/greed), once you have reached a certain desirable state you have pride (vanity) about your body.

    PS Not trying to start a flame, just saying what I think is true.

    It's impossible to be sinless in your entire life period.

    What if you do it because you believe in Darwinism and Natural Selection. I am a christian Of the Catholic Faith (went to Cath grade school, wore a tie and had religion classes), but I think that one day there will be an event that will cause the downfall of our society (i.e Romans, Greeks) and those that have desirable traits to live long enough to reproduce Will. All the weak and stupid shall die and those fit to survive will.

    (I dont really think about this too strongly, but if that day does come, I want to be there to build the next Civilizations. Oh, and i love when people stare at me and my body gets me ***** my face wouldn't. And yes I wear condoms)
