I just stood there and made a few funny faces to make my little sis laugh. Took a quick blimps of some kind of book that was filled with shite and dropped it on the floor. I didn't think it was worthy to be anywhere else (apart from the bin).I had a similar experience when my aunt passed away from cancer treatment gone horribly wrong, at her funeral around her grave that never should have been dug this prematurely everyone started singing "for god's grace" and I ignored them. I contemplated my aunt's life and how she must have suffered in her final moments something that could have been avoided, while people switched their brains off and sang, I resolved to cherish the good memories of her, pay my final respects, and start an enquiry with the hospital and find out who's negligence was responsible.
Just entertaining my self by mocking religion.
Then this crazy old guy, honestly have no idea who he was (he was of no relation) shuffles up to me and continually kept shoving the hymn book into my chest, eventually I took it off him and closed it. Once he started to demand me to sing, that was enough for me.
Religious rituals such as funerals are an insult to the memory of a person as they endlessly seek to 'glorify' a belief in a sky-daddy that hasn't even been proven to exist.
Funeral or memorial services ought to be conducted in the manner of the late-Graham Chapman. That was memorable. If only I could go in that manner:
