Hi quirky: Combinations an permutations of genes,environment, etc explain the vastness of difference in people physically and philosophically . It is indeed a wonderment to behold this uniqueness and adds to the excitement of being alive and interacting with one another.
If I may be permitted let me offer an alternative explanation. Take for instance the good question you pose concerning the body as a temple for God and your interpretation of it being a need for a healthier lifestyle and one not being promoted by the health board. Others, take a completely different view of the body being temple of God to mean that we should strive to be free from sin, hate, jealousy and remain in a constant state of purity in order to receive God, allow him to live within us and in order to receive his blessings and gifts. Both thoughts are right for those who share "the body being the temple"for God and both share a manner in which to preserve this Godly goal
Again interpretation/opinions vary but I found all posters to be sincere in their comments; albeit some poster may find fault with the manner of presentation of other posters and some offended because the poster disagreed. However disagreement does not mean disloyalty, disrespect nor insincerity because the purpose of the thread was open debate on a question every human being has asked since the beginning of time.
We need more substantive questions in every aspect of living playing, etc like this one and the best manner in which to conduct and to continue such worthy discussion is worth civility objectivity and being non-judgmental
I have enjoyed and often agreed on many of your comments. You are a good human being and engaging.
Personal Best Regards:
