The whole discussion about cutting yourself for the dead began because someone with precious little knowledge of Scripture claimed that the Bible did not prohibit cutting oneself for the dead.

To be honest, I sort of like the idea of having a Viking funeral. But try finding a Baptist Church willing to hold a service where you’re body is on a burning boat with your enemies severed heads resting at your feet.

Do any of you know of any non-moslem religions that are open to severed body parts?

I know, and when you showed where in Scripture God specifically forbid the practice, you were met with snarky challenges that showed an even worse understanding of God's word - as if Jesus' sacrifice on the cross made it okay for God's children to ignore everything He ever told us.
