A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

~~The temple is closed.~~
We looting this temple then razing it to the ground.
my body is a temple and I am the god it is devoted to
Just so happens that I'm the god of gluttony.
8pm - The temple is overrun with racoons.
My body is a temple. Ancient and crumbling, probably haunted by past decisions.
Offerings of food are historically very common in temples
My body is one of those sacred whorehouse temples
Always disliked the temple analogy. So you’re saying in your body you are committing tax evasion, touching alter boys, butchering genitalia, marrying children and send out missionaries to convert the non believers.
Temples are more like gangster run Casinos.
Your body deserves more respect than a temple receives.
That's quite a small view of temples. Seems mainly restricted to stereotypes of Catholic/Christian abuses.
There's a whole world worth of shitty religious/spiritual practices you could be overgeneralizing!
What about ritualistic animal sacrifice? Burning of fragrant herbs and psychedelics while causing intentional heat stroke? Drinking "tea" mixed with blood and drugs and having delerious orgies masquerading as spiritual awakenings? Combat to the death? Bloodletting? We could get all the strong men together and make the youngin's drink their semen for strength! We could have young women go streaking while guys chase them around with whips!

I agree. When I hear "temple", the first thing I think of is ancient Greek, Egyptian, or Babylonian places of worship. To gods like Isis, Athena, or Enlil. After that I might think of the word being used by some Jews for the thing other Jews call synagogue or shul.
I would never call a Christian place of worship a temple. It's a church in the generic, or sometimes more specific terms like chapel, cathedral, or monastery.
edit: actually, immediately after writing the above I remembered that Mormons call their equivalent of a Catholic Cathedral (i.e., the grandest and most important of churches, where important sacred ceremonies are carried out) "temples".
My favorite is the tweet that goes kind of like:
“My body is a temple, but it’s a Southeast Asian temple covered in monkey shit.”
Good thing I get up after 8 am.
Honestly its not the worst way on earth to do calorie control. My breakfast and lunch are super calorie controlled and I actually get to enjoy my evenings and I dont get fat.
Took me 2 years of dieting, tracking and effort for me to get a handle on what works for me.
