Originally posted by twhiteheadBut surely asking the church and a church leader to bury your spouse is an invitation to hear the gospel? If someone is secular, then get a secular interment. I find your statement here to be somewhat illogical and actually a bit naive.

There are certain situations where discussion of religion should be avoided.
