Thanks, quirky, your reply is much appreciated.

My explanation: I think it's too difficult for most people. And there are some who think the temple concept it's limited to the spiritual realm. I would disagree with that.

What do religious people often say when a baby is born? "It's a gift from God." I think that's well established in religious circles - life is a gift from God. So, how would one show their appreciation to God for such a wonderful gift? By trashing it or by taking care of it?
