	This was by Lior, right? (BTW, is it coincidence that it's a homonym 
of "liar?" <smirk, scrape in profuse abasement for bad humor recently 
expressed>)
	Think about the idea of body types as related to personality 
characteristics (LaVey's version of this in _The Satanic Witch_ works well 
when applied...):
	height = agression factor.
	agression factor = resistance to control.
	control = function of religious doctrine [ref. _The Prince_ by 
Niccolo Machiavelli].
	agression factor = resistance to religious doctrine.
	height = resistance to religious doctrine.
	height = tendency toward atheism or agnosticism.
	This assumes, of course, that body-type classifications for 
personality characteristics are valid.
