Why Sex and Poos Can Reveal the Divine

If you start discussing the size and smell of your creation last toilet break, you're bound to raise a few disgusted heads. Likewise, when the issue of cooties or releasing gas is brought up in a school yard, you're bound to be left with a chorus of laughter. The matter of 'sex' in our society is met with the stigma of being dirty, wrong, and often, condemnatory. 

We all know about it, we all do it. So what's the big deal?

Dualism, in terms of the soul, is used to describe that our body and soul are two separate entities -- the body being mortal, the soul immortal. This kind of thinking has been adapted by many religious thinkers and personal philosophies.


If this theory is correct, and we have a divine essence placed into a human body, could this potentially explain our apparent 'aversion' to vital bodily functions? 

When we consider them as simple, animalistic functions that our vital for our survival, this is when we are likely to turn our nose up. It embarrasses, and almost seems derogatory to us. Could this then serve of proof that we are a being of a higher function, purely placed inside a human body for now?
