Uummm... how about practices on living bodies?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:42 am Is there anything more disgusting and hideous than what Christian morticians do to dead bodies. Infusing us with toxic chemicals and throwing us into the ground for a prolonged rot over centuries like plastic bottles?
I'd like to be cremated or recycled by the natural food chain.
Thoughts?

Converting corpses into food crosses a delicate line IMO. Scattering my ashes in the ocean or a field seems more appropriate. Of course, if we don't keep enough of our legs closed enough of the time and keep doubling the Earth's population every decade, then that might change by necessity.seeds wrote: ↑Thu Nov 14, 2024 7:31 pmOr better yet...Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:42 am Is there anything more disgusting and hideous than what Christian morticians do to dead bodies.

My bad. In that case, I'll refer to keeping our pants on.accelafine wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 3:35 amI'm sure men can f*** with their legs closed.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 3:00 amConverting corpses into food crosses a delicate line IMO.

In other words, you don't want to go to the funeral of a friend or a loved one and be confronted by some horrifying stench from the rotting corpse, do you?"...From a Christian perspective, the primary purpose of human embalming is to allow for a period of visitation and mourning by preserving the body for viewing, enabling family and friends to say goodbye before burial, while respecting the belief in the resurrection of the body at the end of time..."
Who wants to see their loved one weeks after their death in a pickled state? We lose our loved ones at the time of death. That's reality. Trying to preserve them with what amounts to the services of a taxidermist isn't my idea of how I would want my body treated after death. And I'd rather go into the food chain as something other creatures will recycle into agriculture. Being fed directly to other humans seems kind of spiritually sickening to me.seeds wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 1:44 amHey, you're the one who said you wanted to be "recycled."Gary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 3:00 amConverting corpses into food crosses a delicate line IMO.
Why let the worms and bugs get all the nutrients?
Obviously, I'm just being silly. I mean, what if the deceased had a "gammy leg" like in this Monty Python sketch? - https://youtu.be/deoNAOfkXxc

Not to mention a really, really bad idea. Humans aren't supposed to eat other humans. It causes all kinds of horrible diseases including insanity.
