I think he was wtf-ing the sky burial.

Here is the way I would like to go if I had the choice and people around me who were willing to carry it out. Warning, quite graphic.

Amazing. But it may take years for the pigeon's around here to do that.

Essentially he asked Neil how he would comfort himself in the moments of his imminent death, as if deluding himself with visions of God would work for someone who spent his life not believing in such nonsense. His answer was, knowing that his body and death would go on to provide for the furthering of life, would be sufficient.
You were able to figure out that incoherent mess of a question? I'm impressed.

I have studied moronic comprehension before. It is kind of like playing Wheel of Fortune, if you can pick up on enough of the fragments, you can get the gist of the entire phrase.
