The human body is a holy creation of God, and a living temple to the Holy Spirit. For this reason, we should treat our bodies--and others'--with the respect they are due. "Body" and "temple" in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%206:19-20&version=NIV2009-09-25T13:00:25-05:00
The ultimate argument against harming ourselves or others comes down to the Christian teaching that our bodies are spiritual temples to God, precious to Him. Damage done to our bodies is damage done to God's temple.
