The article above is not true. James Brown, Ronald Reagan both had their bodies for public viewing. This does not even equate to being religious because people choose to put their fate in a man. Give me a break, please.
the pope and the other religions are just like michael jackson----

Is the casket going to be open for MJ? Was it for the Pope? Why in the world would I want to see anyone dead? Life memories are much better to remember. However I had no feeling one way or the other when Pope JP died and I have no feeling one way or the other for about MJ's death.
Have we become a world/nation of human worshippers or idol worshippers? The good Michael did through his music will without a doubt live on in our hearts and should, but a public display of his physical remains I think should not happen. A private service is what I would do, and a public memorial service for fans and all who loved, admired and respected this most talented individual (I was one of them)would be more appropriate.
Try to disregeard gossip and see the big picture. Regardless of what you think about either one of them,both, by their genius united millions of people around the world brreaking the barriers of race, religion, and social status, pleading for pace, love and understanding. They both, in their own ways tried to save the world.
I think the Christian Churches failure to magnify Christ is the reason men can be held-up so high. Many Christian denominations don't even believe or practice the presence of GOD. How can the world see an invisible GOD unless The Body of Christ shows them. Who can deny the Power of a face to face encounter with Christ.
How can anyone that knows God and believes in his son Jesus that never sinned and was here for a purpose, to turn us from sin and have the hope of eternal life in Heaven with Him by believing in Him Confessing him as Son of God repentance of your past, present sins and being Baptised (emersed from the Greek Batismo) for the life after in Heaven. People today are so far from God and so close to Satan that sin is nothing in their eyes today. Their idol worshipping , their efeminism, their lies, fornication, hate, adultry, drunkenness, drugs, cursing filthy language. All this God condemmed and He said not I but he said that these sins will cast you in hell for eternity. Don't take my word for it. Pick up your Bible its in there for everyone to read. You can only come to faith by first hearing the Word. Have you really forgotten who made you?. I pitty all of you, but pray that you all will come to know Christ our Lord. Forget so fast? How your Idols lived,and died in sin? suicide overdose of drugs? This is not worship of anyone that is holy but far from it. Satan wants you and he already has you because of the way you live and how and what you believe.
