If you want to not be burried on the moon because of your religious beliefs; cool, don’t be burried on the moon.
Do not force your religious beliefs on other people, in ANY context.
If other people want to be burried on the moon, your religion and the beliefs tied to it are entirely irrelevant.
How is this not a parallel to climate catastrophe?
I hear you arguing:
If you don’t want to pollute the planet, go ahead.
If other people want to pollute the planet, your beliefs are entirely irrelevant.
The moon is a shared resource, and blasting off rockets with remains into an ecology that can’t process it, and diminishes ours, seems like a poor way to respect neither our own nor the Moon’s resource cycles.
Don’t get me wrong here: there’s certainly reasons this idea is stupid as hell. Wasteful, expensive, polluting, creating future cleanup should we colonize the moon…
I’m just pointing out that using religion as your reason that others should be upset about this is also foolish. Let religion guide your own decisions.
This feels like the academic version of that freakout in the WitchTok community when a group of them claimed to have hexxed the moon
On that Despicable Me shit
It’s a stupid idea because it’s overly complicated pollution, not because some people think the moon is special.

Religion is irrelevant and stupid.
