One intriguing thing is the paradox of people who clearly are body-as-temple in some departments, like going for Greek-god/goddess physique, but also doing piercings/tattoos with aesthetics that don’t strike me as “sacred”

When humanity “Killed God” they replaced Diety with all sorts of lesser ideals. Atheists and the like can try to define their own aesthetics and morality. Plus the triumph of the individual Ego as center of the universe in such a world.
