My father is a weird kind of Atheist. He loves to go to church to listen and participate in music. He just takes the proselytizing about Jesus with a grain of salt.
"That's why we've got over 4000 different religions on this planet," I replied. :"They call it the God part of the brain."
Dad went off on this long winded diatribe that obtaining immortality is via your genes.
"I guess that's is why I am a genetic dead end?" I asked him when our discussion moved on to Darwin and evolution. .
I reiterated my desire to be be cremated and poured into our little lake. I also wrote about one of my cardinal sins which is to never discuss politics and religion on the blog.
