Solemn Moments at The Funeral...

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Tis true ......Although the occasion is a sad one, Christians generally celebrate the life of a loved one who has served the Lord.
Nothing wrong with jubilation; providing it doesn't turn into a drunken revelry like most Christmas parties.

So you don't celebrate someone's life unless they are have "served" the Lord? Guess that clan mentality won't die until religion does.
Wing nuts. Not just for breakfast anymore.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with it then, either.
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

Which is every single person that has a service at a church. I've never heard a preacher say, "Yup, that guy is going straight to hell!". Nope, they're all going to heaven because they were all such good Christians......

Yeah...... masters of telling people what they want to hear, not a bit of truth in it.

When I die I want people to put me in a rocking chair out in the backyard and build a fire and get completely intoxicated as they recall what all we've done and not done, and for somebody to keep rocking me.
