Holy Crap...

[qjakal]

Grrrr.....


The 12-story, earthquake-proof, $190 million Roman Catholic Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels was dedicated in Los Angeles in September, celebrated not only for the obligatory gift shop ($24.99 for house chardonnay), the ATM, and the $12-a-day parking garage, but for the private crypts underneath at prices of $50,000 to $3 million. ("(That's) kind of like selling sky boxes," said a Notre Dame theology professor; a Loyola Marymount University professor defended the steep price, saying, "I don't think that the poor are terribly worried about where they are going to be buried.")

Shows where the Church's heart is doesn't it? Personally, once I've finished with this body, I don't care if they chop it up and leave it on the town dump in plastic bin bags. I can easilly imagine some people finding this a bit hard sell though.

 

[Alex Warfield]

I personally don't care what's done with my body either. It's not like I can come back and argue.

Holy s___ is more like it...

After I die, I'm donating my body to the necrophiliacs of the world

If religious entities don't have to pay taxes and charge for these amenities, where do the $s go? Hint: not to the victims of the sex scandals 😡

I'm proud to be atheist/agnostic/rational/secular/nonreligious/scientific

I can.
You think not having a body is going to stop me? 😛
And guess who gets the first haunting??
Joby

 

[amk714]

Joby, will the haunting include any tickling? 😀

Offhand I can't think of a better cause... 😱

I'm going to put this on my business cards. Too funny.

Big Jim-----Dead and loving it!😀

I'm flattered, Oblesklk!

If you do, be sure to include this disclaimer: "In no way do I support the sexually deviant practice of necrophilia or those who are necrophiliacs."

Sorry kids, but it's medical experiments for the lot of you.

What about leaving your bodies to science? Each organ that you don't need anymore could save someone's life in the future. When I die, they can take everything they want and cremate me in a matchbox.

Another plus: if you donate your organs, there's no way you can suddenly wake up in a tiny box under 6 feet of earth. People have dug up coffins with scratch marks on the inside of the lid...😱

Save a kid, give your internals.

Biggles is a good samaritan!

If all of us donated our bodies to science, the shortage of donors would dramatically decrease or be eliminated completely 🙂

P.S. So this is what's it's like to be a Master! 😀

This is yet another instance where the Catholic Church proves itself to be the world's largest, most highly-financed and accepted cult.

Amen.

To quote Grahm Chapman (RIP): An agnostic is someone who isn't sure if he can do anything or not.

...or something like that...🙄

Funny you should mention that Biggles..............

Did anyone know that in 1946 (a year after Nazi-ism had supposedly been defeated) a whole gaggle of schoolchildren were given IQ tests in North Carolina. Every one of them that fell below a certain standard was forcibly sterilised, boys and girls. No, you did not read that wrong, young children often in their single figure years were forcibly sterilised if they fell below a certain level of IQ.

Nazi-ism ain't dead, sadly. It's alive and well.

I just took an IQ test yesterday, scored 109. I was somewhat dissappointed

Here is a page containing some links to that sick-ass experiment BigJim described:

Some of the links don't work, so you'll have to view the cached version of those pages 🙂

Thanks for that link AMK, I could'nt remember the word that was used to describe it. Now I've seen the site you linked to I remembered it was Eugenics. Sick isn't it?

This page contains some very interesting details about the father of the dude who runs you guys country right now too. I could add even more about the evil bugger. Anyone wanna hear it?

Just be glad you were'nt denied the ability to have children because of it Alex.

What about Grandpa, who dealt with the Nazis during the war and made a feck of a lot of money out of it?

Oh yes, you'd be refering to Prescott Bush Biggles. He was a leading light of the Union Banking Corperation who were in turn a leading light in the Harriman financial empire. This lot funded the nazis through Wallstreet and the COL via a guy called Fritz Thyssen. Nice family eh?
