I do think there's a lot to be said for teaching that bodily functions are important, and they're not just gross, and good religion needs to accept people as fully embodied. But it's too easy for that to slide into the really disturbing ableist assumptions about people who for whatever reason need personal or medical support to deal with said functions.

This! Western society as a whole is seriously screwed up in its attitudes towards this whole area.

And fascinating stuff in general, though as a Christian I'm probably only getting half the context.
