    How do we know if a person is not still alive on a physiological or spiritual level?

    It is kinda harsh, dead people have feelings too ya know..

    They'd rather be eaten slowly by the worms and all those other creatures 6 feet under.

    I don't believe in cremation but once the body is dead, my belief is that the soul moves on to the spiritual world so cremation shouldn't have any consequence on it.

    Well, if you add water to it, you can make some mud.

    Would it really be mud or more of a paste? Then again, mud is actually just a dirt paste itself. Either way, they probably both are great for making huts.

    How do we know that being alive on a physiological or spiritual level while still being attatched to a rotting physical body isn't torture in itself?

    Cremation seems harsh. Buts its SO much easier on the wallet than a traditional funeral.

    Plus people get to take a little of you home instead of just leaving everything under the ground, so they don't go home empty handed.

    Harsh, but not as harsh as that kind bud you're waking and baking to.
