That would be massively influenced by culture. An atheist materialist from the West is going to have a totally different view to someone from a culture where burial has all sorts of codified behaviours and beliefs associated with it.
- dijit 3y agoThe point I'm trying to make (badly) is that at some point bodies are returned to the earth. Otherwise the whole planet is a gravesite and we cannot farm/build or exist without unintentionally desecrating graves.
- smogcutter 3y agoNo one’s talking about farming, they’re digging up actual graves.
- dijit 3y agoAre you intentionally missing the point?
- smogcutter 3y agoNo, you just weren’t making as much of one as you think.
- dijit 3y agoOk, if you understood the point how about arguing that instead of trying to derail the conversation. I expect better honestly.
- smogcutter 3y agoOk, here it is fully spelled out: your argument about unintentionally desecrating graves is completely irrelevant to a question of intentionally desecrating graves.
- dijit 3y agoThe root problem applies though. If you need permission: who among the population can give it, and what connection could they have to what amounts to a strangers corporeal remains.
