Mr. Con Menezes from Australia and Saligao I believe, is an enigmatic poster. 
He puts in some really good links but never gives his own opinion. So you don't 
know what he thinks about what he sends; whether he endorses it or whether he 
means to show how foolish it is.

For example his latest link is to a gentle opinion of a pastor somewhere in the 
US who thinks that burial is preferable to cremation. Of course his view gets a 
little condescending when he says that we must not ostracize those who choose 
cremation.

In support of this view the pastor cites Phillipians 1:20 which when I referred 
to the NIV, is as follows:

"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have 
sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, 
whether by life or by death."

Con, do you know how this makes a case for burial over cremation, one to dust 
and the other to ash.
