Not at all, it’s only comparatively recently that cremation has become acceptable in many Christian denominations.

Still, I have not seen anything in the bible even hinting that the condition of your body at death har any impact on your afterlife.

I love one exchange from Deadwood about this. There was a running gag of hiding all the homicides by feeding the victims to Mr. Wu's pigs.

Al Swearengen: I will profane your mortal remains!

E.B. Farnham: Not my remains.

Al Swearengen: Gabriel's trumpet will produce you from the ass of a pig.

Michigan voter fraud hearing going on now!

Hope everybody is watching @OANN right now. Other media afraid to show. People are coming forward like never before. Large truck carrying hundreds of thousands of fraudulent (FAKE) ballots to a voting center? TERRIBLE - SAVE AMERICA!

My theory is that we as a society go through a convoluted series of motions to obscure the fact that we are actually killing people. While I don't condone torture I'm not sure the fact that a given method may hurt is so awful - it is called "punishment" after all. They were never promised euthanasia.

The guillotine would be pretty good I'd think but then you have to wonder if the head is conscious and actually thinking something.

I'm against capital punishment mostly on principle, yet there are federal executions I wouldn't go to the mat to stop. Timothy McVeigh's, for example. But most of the guys on federal death row don't fit that description. No matter how horribly they killed someone, we're still putting to death old men we've kept alive for 40 years just because the political climate changed, and that seems grotesque.

Does one have feelings laying rat poison or stepping on a roach? Then why would one feel much when a sociopath monster is offed, by whatever means.

When my thieving drug addict nephew was offed in a street shooting all most of us really felt was relief we didn't have to deal with him anymore.
When he was jailed we relaxed on home security.

Because the roach is a bug and the other human doesn't mean we want these problems in our lives and homes.
There lies the issue.

I feel basically the same way, I'm against it on principle but when I read of someone like Ted Bundy getting executed, I don't lose sleep over it.
 
Barr says no evidence of widespread voter fraud
Trump will be pleased with him.

Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

His comments come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the election was stolen, and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

I'm morally against capital punishment, but I don't see an issue with firing squad as a method of execution. It would seem to be a quick and painless way of killing someone, more humane than electrocution I would say.

The impact on the peeps in the firing squad maybe a consideration.

Cheeto Benito is not going to like this. Barr was also spotted arriving at the White House within the last hour.

I wonder if the Toddler in Chief is going to fire him now?

Fred Flintstone will soon learn the consequences of eliciting the ire of not only the Toddler in Chief, but also that of the toddling trumpkins.

Death threats to follow, no doubt.

I do think Dominion is an ominous-sounding name for a company that sells election software. It has a totalitarian feel to it. ClearVote or something might be better. Something bland and transparent-sounding.

Dominion is a company that was founded in ... The Dominion of Canada. It's our formal name.

In an interview when Powell was told that Dominion denied being a Venezuelan company she replied "They are splitting hairs".

I think it depends on the culture. Some early cultures (Egyptians come in mind) assumed that you needed some form of intact body for the afterlife, so destroying somebody's body deprived them of that, or, perhaps worse, condemned them to eternity in a broken body.

In Christian culture, I must assume that the condition of the corpse is irrelevant for the afterlife, so the various kinds of mutilation, burning, etc. was merely to cause horror and suffering (and, probably, to entertain the masses).

Yes and no, if it was the case cremation wouldn't have been so strange to the christian world. Bodily resurrection really was a part of christian theology for a long time.
