Marketing immortality the love way was another of John Grigg's proposals.
He writes:

the love way.

Well, if we are going to appeal to the traditional values of our culture, I 
would suggest

that we need to simply co-opt religious imagery.  We need artistic renditions of

angels made of ice carrying our suspended loved ones into the sunrise of 
tomorrow.


One thing I despised about organized atheists was their resistance to the idea 
of

having "marching songs" like "Onward Christian Soldiers".  That type of uplift 
is

very necessary if the battle against death and for immortality is to conquer 
and/or
compete with religion's call for surrender.

Imagine if we had just one pop song with even humorous lyrics saying "Freeze me

today so I can come back tomorrow.  Liquid nitrogen is more beautiful than 
flowers"

Sorry I am not a song writer.  But this is one of the social skills we need to 
turn
this society around.
