Ha ha ha..

isn't it funny how you can find a verse to support any argument you like?

But of course,
That is the beauty of the god racket.

God is here, god is there, god is nowhere.
We are the image of god, but god is spirit.
God is good, but god creates evil.
God is merciful, but god creates hell.
God wants your heart, but god demands your money.

All the above statements are valid and supported by scripture.

Now, that's more like it. Who would care much about a lump of tissues and bones? Only people who believe in life after death.

So wait, are you saying that atheists can not make provisions for their family and friends after they die because they dont care and dont have a belief in the afterlife?

In your quest to make atheists look bad, you're actually showing your intolerance and selfish character. See man, say i'm dead now. Instead of my kidneys, liver, heart, lungs etc to decay in the ground i could actually donate it to a hospital for research or for someone in dire need of an organ to save his/her life. I do not have to have something in return before i help others. I do not have to hope for a mansion in heaven before i save other lives. Thats why i can never go back to religion. It is all for pleasing your imaginary sky daddy in order to get an afterlife reward. Pathetic!!!

I'm saying: you believe you dont exist after you die, so you dont have a family after you die. Why should you care how the lump of tissues and bones is disposed of? What would be wrong in butchering the body and feeding it to hyenas, for instance, Atheist?

That way, you add value to the food chain.

Ah! Mr cheerleader finally wrote something worthy of being replied. You're finally becoming your own man, not just learning at the feet of plaetton and wiegraf and cheering them on. Congrats!

You love mankind but you're waiting till you die to show it? What have you done or donated for mankind now that we can verify?

Op, donations (definitely, not using them, but considering my lifestyle, what's left of my body....) then burn the rest. I do very selfishly long for immortality. Well, depending.....

Rights are complicated, but obviously, I'll do everything I can to make sure NOTHING RELIGIOUS. Don't care about their feelings, sorry, I'd be the dead one, not them. They should respect my wishes like I do theirs. Then again, in this country one may have little choice.

On a somewhat related note (but not really), this dude commited suicide on his 60th birthday, left a website chronicling his life, reasons for his final act (apparently he just thought 60 was decent), etc. He prepared, eg paid for 5 years of server space after his death, but yahoo took the site off their servers when they discovered it. Not sure if anyone is planning legal action

I'd like my nuts chopped off and served at a resturant like that Japanese dude.
edit: but now that i think about it, burnt balls isn't much of a delicacy. You see, when i turn 80
(if i do live that long), i plan to ride a bicycle off a cliff which inturn will catch fire midair (its an
epic way to die), so theres the possibility that my remains will be nothing but ash.

Actually,
I was not asking about what anyone wants to do with their body after death.

Infact, in Nigeria, the likely hood of your family and relatives giving up your body for any medical or scientific research is very low.

What I am simply asking is whether anyone has contemplated the fact that they might be converted to Christianity upon death and buried as a christian.

Have you thought about it, and what necessary steps would you likely take now to prevent that?

It's not "your body." At best it's your former body.

Why should you care what happens to that mass of decaying tissues and bones.

Or will you continue to exist after your last breath?

Good point Italo.

In that case, I guess you wouldn't mind being converted to Islam upon your death , and your body buried as a muslim?

I think family and friends should be allowed to do what they please with your body(anything to help them cope with the grieving).

After all you are going back to join the cycle of life or non-life which ever way you are buried or not buried.

But if you didn't leave specific instructions (and enabling capacities) behind they might genuinely not know what to do and prefer the methods they are most familiar with.

Arrrgghh! I'm shocked to find you aren't smart enough to know that I was only playing 'the Atheist. '

Of course, we Christians believe that we continue to exist after death and the body is sacred...even after death...so it is in line with our beliefs to worry about what happens to us after death.

For an Atheist who claims he will cease to exist at death to worry about such...and to worry about satan (whom he claims doesn't exist)...

...it just shows that they doubt what they claim to believe.

Why would an Atheist have a problem with feeding the corpse to hyenas so that the food chain and universe can be enriched?

why do you keep being foolish? Of course there's nothing wrong in doing this. But what if instead of fattening hyenas you decide to better humans? Either way, you're still benifiting a living specie but you just chose to benefit instead your own specie. Italo, you're not even smart enough to play the 'atheist'.

Have you seen my definition of Religious Decoherence?

It is a mental affliction that is common to religious sophists when faith meets the firewalls of reason and common sense.
The symptoms are noticeable break down of coherence, slurred thinking, ,etc.

At the intermediate level, you will notice the invocation of the "spiritual" in an attempt to escape or obfuscate an important issue.

At an advanced stage, there's recourse to name calling , and eventually, to threats of eternal damnation.
