For me to understand what you're talking about here, you'd have to explain between "higher and lower" pleasures to a nasty old skeptical atheist like me... Why is anything that feels good physically considered a "lower" pleasure? Why can't physical and mental/spiritual ever seem to go hand in hand when it comes to societies rooted in either Christianity or Islam?
