Well, our old pal Eddie Current is at it again, making satirical videos that demonstrate the hypocrisy that is organized religion. He hits some high notes with this one based on the NY Times story that discusses an observed correlation between religious devotion and unnatural acts during the last stages of terminal illnesses to prolong life. Curiously, if one believed, truly believed that this life isn’t the important one that the afterlife is, why would that be the case?

Personally, I subscribe to the Randy Pausch school of handling a terminal disease. He died. But he touched millions of people in a very personal and positive manner, facing the final unknown with grace, dignity, humor, and courage. When my time approaches, I hope I can muster 1% of his clarity of thought and purpose. Watch the Last Lecture if you haven’t seen it, and if you have, watch it again.
