3. But do whatever you want because I wont care!
Agreed. Privately cremated, no funeral, no flowers. Donations to Cancer Society if you really must. Definitely a wake - my last blessing to those who outlast me. 🙂

I think he means fully fixed in the judgement that there is no god. Of course Atheists have been know to switch sides and become 'born again' Christians but I think he thinks 'once an atheist, always an atheist.
Dyed in the wool in real wool means once it is dyed there is no going back to the original color.

An imaginary creation of the fevered minds of insecure theists to make themselves feel better by trying to project their faults onto those who disagree with them.

I have no doubt of the inner peace as a result of true faith. It is a mind drug in itself, in my opinion, a false drug, a crutch that never fails because of the way the propaganda of Christianity and all other religions are set up.
The original writers of the books of the bible were not stupid. There was definite intent, the intent being to control the population and to be able to rationalize the suppression of women. That is the long and the short of it.
It has worked for about 4,000 years so far, so in of itself it is a way to promote historical connections with a religious society but it is nothing more than that.
