framed

Our physical body has a skeleton, a framework for supporting it. So does our spiritual body. The spiritual body's frame is called a religion or philosophy. Whatever it is called, our spiritual body has a skeleton. It is a handy device for holding one's place, for getting around. One day it will dissolve too. Then where will the spiritual body be? Where it is right now when it has no frame.

Question: Why were you like you were?
Answer: I was framed, Your Honor.
