“There is an instinctive movement of the body towards better and nobler things, as in the text that says, 'I will lift up mine eyes to the hills," or in that divine command of liberation that took the form of 'Stretch forth thine hand'. The old ceremonial gestures of the human body are necessary to the human soul: the gesture that pledged the guest in the goblet, that strewed the flowers upon the grave; that drew the sword for the salute or set up the candle before the shrine. In that sense, a man actually can think with his muscles; he can pray with his muscles; he can love with his muscles and lament with his muscles. All religion that without that gesture, all Puritan or purely Intellectualist religion that rages at ritual, is raging at human nature. If an ancient pagan came from the city of Plato and the temple of Pallas, and found himself in a certain type of town in the Middle West, I admit that he would probably prefer to be a Behaviorist rather than a Baptist.”
