You may not believe that, but saying other people's beliefs are "stupid" or "ignorant" or not worth paying attention to, as several people here have done, is the height of arrogance and ignorance.

Whoa there.. while I might feel strongly, you'll benefit from re-reading my post and noting that I never once attacked any religions. As a matter of fact, I did a search for "stupid" and "ignorant" in this page, and the only place it found it was yours -- so I'm not sure where you got that idea.
Futhermore, my statement that "The only reason you'd say NO to being harvested is either (a) religious belief or (b) selfishness." corroborates this. These are seperated for a reason -- they can be mutually exclusive. You can not want your body descrated per your religion, or you can not want it harvested because you're a selfish bastard. OR you can be both. I made no assumptions on anyone's behalf regarding which they were. One could argue that putting your religion above human life was selfish.. but that's an aside.
I'd like to see you tell me where I even nodded to the effect of religious intolerance. Just because I don't think its a viable reason for implicitly killing people does not mean I'm not educated in their religions or tolerant of them.
I simply said that I would much prefer saving lives than honoring dead people, religiously or not:

This is one place where I'm comfortable saying that everyone should be harvested, regardless of their beliefs, religious or otherwise.

OH, and P.S. - Jesus sacrificed HIS body to humanity. Wouldn't donating your organs post-mortem further show a devotion to following the Lord's path? (assuming you're Christian)
