A friend called yesterday with a title idea: God is Sexy, or God is Sex-Ease. Which led us to a theological discussion. Perhaps in spite of her Christianity, she doesn't think the body and the spirit must be or should be at war. She does think all things were, or are, created by God according to a plan in his mind. (That would include human sexuality, so why, she asks, should the religious be bothered about it?) As I tried to explain, I think the things of nature--all that there is except what humans have fabricated--come into being by natural processes such as evolution. But here's a thought: If man has created God in his own image, contrary to Christianity and theism at large, maybe it's a matter of Homo Faber projecting his own process of making things to a cosmic scale. That is, he projects his own ability to picture in his mind and then devise a useful artifact onto God the creator, maker of worlds and everything in them.

I agree with her except that there is no god to have a mind. Body and spirit are one. If your body and spirit seem to be at war it is something you have been taught. You are the spirit and you are the body. If I want to control you I will put you at war with yourself.
