THE BEST WAY TO ATTEND A FUNERAL IS DEAD

Not even in death is their dignity.  We gather to mourn the loss of a life.  That’s what we’re there to do.  But, we are assaulted by hypocrisy even there…

I’m a-live-and-let-live guy, but the priest wasn’t.  All about his religion and telling us how much he loved us and the dead person and I had just read in the paper about the priest that was going to prison for sexually assaulting a ten year old boy and the 130 other possible charges for the same thing he’d done over the years and this all sounded a lot like bullshit.

That we were all going to ascend to the side of God and He was waiting for us and he works in mysterious way.  Yup, I agree, take a look around.  Anything we can’t explain we usually dismiss, but chaos and evidence that God is at best ignoring us we just say, “He works in mysterious ways”.  Looks like he’s not working at all.

Six dogs killed a ten-year-old girl, this does not seem right.  Then again, neither do religions that say kill thy fellow man and get laid by virgins in heaven…sounds a little suspect to me…maybe even bullshit.

I expect the dead person to sit up and say “look, asshole, I’m trying to get in to see God today, can the bullshit and let my friends get on with their mourning or I’ll send Sam Kinison down to finish this for you”.

That would be an infinitely better finish.  But She doesn’t do that and the priest drones on and doesn’t get names of family members right and we are to ignore this and assume just because he can’t get the names of people here on Earth right he is somehow right about Heaven and people that lived a couple thousand years ago…this seems a bit of a stretch to me, and I have a few questions, but everyone seems to be buying it, so I sit and stand as requested and ponder why we still accept all this mumbo-jumbo and come to my own hypothesis that it’s just easier to accept than to ponder it might be wrong or to just ponder or to question...it's just easier to go with the flow.

Never mind the mounting evidence that the priest is wrong and the evidence that’s swept under the carpet, so as not to upset the apple cart and humanity.  So I’ll just accept it, for now…but I’m definitely not gonna read anymore books on the evidence that he was wrong and that it doesn’t work…I’ll read more fantasy stuff, it’s just easier to get through the day like the newspaper or news channels…oh, fuck, the news is horror/ camp, funny bullshit.

I'll just sit here in the dark.
