He informed me that he was slinging holy water on these graves to bless their corpses and pray for them. Also, he said he would be asking them to pray for us.
Now... hold on a sec. I was a Catholic a long fucking time. So I remember all the praying. Praying sucked balls. You know what I prayed for? That they wouldn't make us say them out loud, so that I could think about anything but boring shit, like praying. I don't think I ever really thought about what I was saying as I was forced to repeat the measureless, flavorless words. (I got in trouble all the time for saying things in my mind like "Hail Mary, full of turds, the squirts are with thee..", and then lmao)
We did ask for dead people to pray for us. How fucking selfish is that shit?!?! They're dead. They're supposed to be in paradise. Whose afterlife paradise would involve hours spent in prayer for fucking alive people?
Isn't god busy enough listening to a bunch of people rabble on and on about things they want that aren't in his plan? Does he really give a shit what ex-life wasters think about current life-wasters?
And why are they praying for dead people? I suppose they're only praying for the ones in hell or purgatory? In that case, don't you think they should be kinda praying for themselves, and the people with whom they're suffering?
None of this shit makes any sense to me, and yet so many believe this sort of thing, in one form or another.
It's off-putting. That's all.
I do not know what he was doing or why... Maybe He saw an unclaimed oppertunity for sainthood or something.
