And I bet these people think that they're good secularists, acting without religious motivations of their own.city authorities are believed to be doing ‘everything in their power’ to stop him being cremated, buried, or laid to rest in any way in the Greater Manchester area.
What a concert, one of the best i've ever seen!
Liam Gallagher making a surprise performance.
Cold play outstanding.
Robbie Williams
Pharrell Williams
Black Eyed Peas, just to name a few were outstanding.
Not forgetting Ariana Grande singing Somewhere over the rainbow at the end.
If you've not seen the live concert that was screened in 50 countries and 5 continents then check it out!!!
Video in link it's 3 and a half hours, but bloody brilliant.

I couldn't give a fuck where he ends up. I'm interested, though, in the intense religiosity of people's reactions to these kinds of events, especially when they are from the avowedly non-religious.
No they have not, they've just become even more isolated from their communities.
In a generation or two they will be gone, not dissimilar to the IRA.
If Justin fucking Bieber can appear in the UK without anyone wanting to smack the annoying little fucker in the mouth, then the terrorists have won.
Added: I even saw people calling Piers Morgan a "hero" today.
If that is not enough proof for you I don't know what is.
A non belieber
No doubt, if my child had been killed, I wouldn't want her killer cozying up to her in a shared grave for all eternity but since I'm a good materialist, that thought makes no sense and beyond just saying 'well, that's how I feel', I can't justify it. This feeling isn't religious in a doctrinal sense but it's religious (not the best word perhaps, but this is Teakdoor so it'll do) in the sense of treating the material world as if special parts of it (in this case a bit of long-dead flesh) had some kind of magical property.
^ I hear (or read) this train of thought often on TD...
This disconnect from any emotion - thinking like a computer devoid of any humanity.
Just bits of flesh, who cares who is buried next to my loved ones, etc...
Not saying you are wrong.. in a sense, you are right and I can see your point... it's just a modern atheist/purely scientific and pragmatic, philosophy, I suppose.
Me, I can't think like that, sometimes I wish I could, but my emotions rule my brain 55
I can't see what all this fuss is about.
Cremate his remains with a packet of bacon and dump the shit in a landfill with the rest of the garbage.
can't they just do what they did to osama
fill his pockets with rocks and dump him off the back of a boat ?
If you don't think the material body of your child, which you hugged and kissed, nurtured and watch grow. Which called you Mum or Dad, the source of the voice which told you it loved you and the laughter which brightened your days and which is now gone forever is not precious and was not the source and object of some special property, a property which is not non-existent, a property most people call love is nothing more than a piece of flesh to discard than I both pity and despise you.
He is wrong. FFS, for once in your life get off the fence and have a real opinion on something!Originally Posted by NZdick1983

Well in that case, I'll be sure to leave a teddy for you when you go off to sleep with the angels.If you don't think the material body of your child, which you hugged and kissed, nurtured and watch grow.

But, actually, you can ease off on your indignation a little. I realise that you live life with your outrage-ometer permanently on the red line and your hair-trigger problem seems to worsening with age but if you look back, you'll see that what I said was not that my child's dead body would not be important but that as a materialist, I can't justify the feelings which I would have. Obviously enough, we all have religious or religious-like feelings and impulses and although we can give, say, an evolutionary account of why we might have these feelings, that's not the same as a justification.
