rjh4, it's good to see there's some good Christians, but in my experience I've only saw a few good Christians like you. Sure that might be 'coz I'm not a big fan of Christianity so it's easier for me to spot their bad points and easier for you to spot their good points, but oh well.
When I talk about the Inquisition, I didn't say there's any going on today. But it was a product of their beliefs/attitudes, and they ideas have lived on into this time. So no, I don't see any Inquisitions today, but I see possibility for another one.
The "default" here is to invite a priest along and to put crosses on the gravestones. Since I was baptised back when I couldn't say no, they count me as a member of the Catholic church (I actually had to score out "Catholic" a few times on my reports for the Panel I went to). Then with the whole "We know better" attitude I've saw with Christians over here, I don't even know if they'll listen to my wishes. Hopefully they do tho'.
But they do seem a lot more arrogant here than you do, so maybe we just have it bad, with the amount of other cunts we get over here xD
Most of the old people I've met have this "Holier than thou" attitude, even tho' it should be the opposite since at old age their mind deteriorates not advances. Then you get the preachers in town - This one I argued with for almost 2 hours, he had his head so far up his arse it almost defied the laws of physics. Then my old friend from school, took him a good few years to realize I don't want to be evangelicised.
Well you're the sort who should be leading those religious groups, not the ones calling the shots right now.

Quote:Seems to me that here in the U.S. that would depend on the desires of the person and what their family decides to do. I have personally had to help arrange my father's funeral and it is really up to the family what is done. There is certainly no requirement for a pastor or priest. And as far as I know, you can get whatever you want on your gravestone. You just have to make sure that the person who is left behind to take care of the arrangements will carry out your wishes.

I don't care if anyone else said it first 'coz it popped up in my head randomly one day =].
