There is no use trying to be more spiritual than God. God never meant man to be a purely spiritual creature. That is why He uses material things like bread and wine to put the new life into us. We may think this rather crude and unspiritual. God does not: He invented eating. He likes matter. He invented it. I know some muddle-headed Christians have talked as if Christianity taught that sex, or the body, or pleasure, were bad in themselves. But they were wrong. Christianity is almost the only one of the great religions which thoroughly approves of the body – which believes that matter is good, that God Himself once took on a human body, and that some kind of body is going to be given to us even in Heaven and is going to be an essential part of our happiness, our beauty, and our energy.

Scrub the potatoes and pierce in several places with a small knife. Bake in

slightly: cut a thin slice from the tops of the potatoes and coop out the
insides, leaving a thin shell. Place on baking sheet. Mash the potato pulp
with a fork.  Combine the margarine and garlic; brush lightly over the
insides of the potato shells. Add the remaining to the pulp. Mash in the
cream cheese. Add the Parmesan, sour cream, parsley, chives, salt and
pepper. Fill the potato shells and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven
15-20 minutes, until heated through.  Finish under the broiler, cooking
until golden.
