There's a Kenyan politician who took his body to church to increase political visibility.

So one can take the dead to church for very private and peculiar reasons.

On the other hand, I could say that some people take bodies to church because their mythology and social conscience demands so.

And there are others who will have no problem with taking a dead body to church and later cremate it.

Some would rather be cremated because they want to give future generations land. But what would they do if they discovered that it is the living who are depleting land, and that their magnanimity is nothing but a kind of ignorance?

In the end, how ones body is disposed is dependent on ones vanity and not refinement.

I have always preferred cremation, and this is because I am such a vain creature!

A certain politician declared that he was to run for presidency and decided to organize some bishops to lay hands on him and bless his journey.

So he went to church and was prayed for.

When he was asked why he had done these things, he answered by saying that he was increasing his visibility.

Kuwa mpole but I feel you. Hawa politicians wetu are dead bodies. After the utahama lini ad I think we should have one of "Tutakuzika Lini?" and take it to parliament.

Cremation is a no no for me.The thought of being burnt at very high temperatures until my body is only brittle, calcified bones,scares the devil out of me.

What is your opinion on the state of the dead?

Are they looking down and cheering you on?
