A local temple to the Goddess, formally known as Ebenezer Lutheran Church, or HerChurch, is a purple eyesore a few miles away. On their website is a staff list, which includes the "Minister of Embodiment." Some middle aged white woman, dancing.
When I am working out, I am well aware of my body. When I am up close and personal with another man, even more so. Sometimes overwhelmingly so.
I am also aware of my body when I feel emotions, especially the dark ones of fear and anger and grief. Mostly in my stomach. As if I have been kicked and then jumped on. Exhausting.

What if the Goddess à la "HerChurch" is what She has decay'd into thanks to the rejection of Nietzsche?
As Thomas Altizer poetically put it, the Church is the dead Body of Christ, decaying in history.
... with "decay" as a transitive verb, right?
Maybe he actually said "decomposing". It was a long time ago.
