What is in question is whether or not the spirit or soul has superiority over the flesh. Not that it is separate completely thus making the body only a carrier, but that it is somehow above in a hierarchical view.
For example, the toe and the brain are both parts of our body, but without the toe we would still be OK, relative to the brain being absent.
So with the same logic the spirit and body are both parts to our existence, but one is not as important.
1st Question: What are your thoughts, and why do you believe what you do?
2nd Question: Does distinguishing one above the other dehumanize us in some way?
