Sharing observations of my first christian funeral.

So this has botched in "We are atheist because God is a dick".

Well, for the females it boils down to "because he has a dick". Remember that Freud, a dick himself in that respect, would dismiss any accounts of rape and sexual abuse of women as a sign of "Penis Envy"

the only memory of a funeral service i have is when they were calling people to get the wafer and the booz--err,uhh,i mean uhh,the body and blood of christ...yeah...anyway i remember sitting there,and thinking with my 4 or 5 year old mind: "the fuck are they doing?i'm not fucking going up there!"...
the burial was nice;they gave my grandpa an insert-your-number-here gun solute,or something...they shot at clouds in the sky,i dunno.

but yeah,that's my experience with funerals...

They were trying to stop the spirit of your grandpa from flying to heaven, by shooting him down, perhaps.

I've only been to one funeral since my deconversion that I can remember and before that they were such a long time ago I can't remember a thing of them. I've already kinda fallen into a cynical mindset when I go to church so I listen for the keyphrases that mean nothing, or that are repeated ad nauseam whether they fit or not. Lucky for me the funerals around here are just a family gatherings with a good buffet of homemade foods and smalltalk in your own little circles. Most droning part is if they decide to read ALL the cards to tell everyone who remembered. I feel like that's only to affect some neighbour-envy, like "See? This many remembered our corpse!"

Propably with my father and mother I'll do my damnest to actually grant their wishes, so it'll be a loud playback of AC/DC(most likely not highway to hell, but some other), since they are huge fans, boozing up, partying and scattering the ashes at the lake where our summer cottage is. No matter what the other old geezers say when they snuff it, that's how they've both said they want to go. Happy times and no boring speeches.
