A dead salon atheist, ALREADY has gone somewhere, and I seriously doubt the dead atheist is going to like it much. 😀😆😄
I’ve never understood treating dead bodies or cremains as though some personhood remained within. “We buried Dad next to Mom” makes no sense. When the soul has flown, its fate belongs to another place and dimension.
I’m Christian so don’t come back with any Last Starfighter stuff.
Treat the dead as tradition and/or sentimentality dictates, but don’t believe for one second that one’s loved one resides in a grave somewhere. That’s not God’s intent.
