'God created people with bodies, and God declared that they were good. It is sometimes hard for us modern day Christians to grasp that central fact. Bodies are not simply pieces of furniture to decorate or display; they are not trappings about which we have conflicted feelings ("body images" that we need to revamp or retool); they are not objects to be dieted away, made to conform to popular standards, or made to perform unthinkable athletic feats with the help of drugs; they are neither tools for scoring points nor burdens to be overcome. They are simply good.'
Lauren F Winner, Real Sex: the bnaked truth about chastity, p.33.
