Yep! Always liked the idea of a Norseman's funeral, too. Tie my corpse to the mast with a Mai Tai in my hand amid a few gallons of moonshine and black powder and take turns shooting a flare gun at my sorry ass... The fish can have what's left over.

Didn't Hunter S. Thompson have his ashes loaded in to some pyrotechnic mortar shells that were launched at his wake?

I think you will find that the tears shed at funerals are for the survivors out of regret for the things they never said to the deceased but wished they had.

Funerals aren't for the dead.

The founding fathers well knew that the separation of church and state was the only way to preserve religious freedom. Religious wars had been waged in Europe over its union; and, indeed, some of the first colonists, the Pilgrims, came to America to escape state-sponsored religious persecution. The right to worship freely, without government interference, is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution, and not by God. It is time that people of faith reconcile themselves with this fundamental fact.
Concise and piercingly clear. Thanks.
