“Humans feel bewilderment and disbelief that we are confined to our bodies. Bodies that age and die. Religion might have been invented to convince us that this depressing fact of life is a fiction. The body can’t contain us. Religion regards our physical form as approximate and temporary – and so does magic.” — Jeanette Winterson

Humans feel bewilderment and disbelief that we are confined to our bodies. Bodies that age and die. Religion might have been invented to convince us that this depressing fact of life is a fiction. The body can’t contain us. Religion regards our physical form as approximate and temporary – and so does magic.
