Article issues and classification[edit]

The article has unsourced single and double-sentence paragraphs, unsourced paragraphs, and a 2018 "needs additional citations for verification" tag. There is more than one inline "citation needed" tag, meaning far too much-unsourced material. The article fails the B-class criteria --"Reassessed to C-class". -- Otr500 (talk) 04:07, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing dubious quote[edit]

I removed the quote "God can resurrect a bowl of ashes just as conveniently as he can resurrect a bowl of dust." It has been in the article since 2006, never cited/sourced. Perhaps FN20 is apposite but since the phrase was originally added here[1], prior to the FN20 citation and with different words, I doubt it. It was then modified to the current version here[2] without any additional citation. I have done searches, found nothing except two articles one of which uses the phrase uncited, and another one called Theft, Property Rights and the Human Body (2013) which cites to thefuneralsource.org which now returns an online casino site. Also a 2015 novel that uses the phrase (which I suspect was lifted from this page) Oblivy (talk) 02:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
