I've been to plenty of funerals, and will no doubt attend even more. I agree, celebrating someone's life is the better way to do it, but there's also that necessary mourning period.

I'm not arguing with you on that Frodo. I was just saying that I feel believing in heaven is destructive. A lot of people feel they have to suffer here on earth and give up their happiness, in the hopes that heaven will make up for it. That heaven is when they will truly be alive and happy. I don't buy it.
