If your attending a funeral for a christian family are you going to keep quiet about your opinions or in an ideal world would you like to give them your opinion? |
Of course I'm
not going to express what I feel happens to someone after their death... especially at a funeral! It's down right rude and I didn't enjoy it when people felt the need to do it to me. If they want to believe that death is a beautiful thing, let them. It comforts them and grief is all about comforting the survivors.
When my husband died, the religious didn't have a problem serving up their platitudes. My personal favorites "he's in a better place" and "it was god's plan" made me want to vomit. They got to go back to their cushy little lives and forget that every single day we woke up without him.
They never once considered that neither my husband, our children, or I shared their beliefs. They just assumed. Their preconcieved notions (like yours) of what it means to be a non believer would have caused more trouble than it was worth. I
do have to live in this world and interact with them.
When I come here to debate on R&P it's because I'm incensed that because the majority feel one way, I'm supposed to agree with them. Freedom of and
from religion Helio. It that really so damn hard to understand?
