Are they so convinced that their loved ones are going to hell?
Or, if they are going to heaven, the funeral should be a celebration, a happy occasion... why do they make it a sad event? Why do they cry?
Everything else is just hypocrisy on the part of whoever wrote that.
Indeed.
Christians also seem quite scared of death considering they believe it is only a new beginning, an eternal, blissful one.
If I KNEW it was real and that I was going to heaven, and it was such a great place, I'd be desperate to throw a fucking seven?
I can only conclude that deep down they must have doubts that the baloney they believe is true (and so they should)
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
