The last few days I have been away because my wife's grandfather passed away.
To get a better idea of how close she was to him her grandparents raised her more then anyone else did.
Today was the funeral yesterday was the viewing. The day before yesterday they all agreed that they wanted to place a christian flag on his casket ( no big deal)
One of my wife's aunt went into a rant about how this nation was bulit on christiany out of the blue. I let it go.
One of my wifes aunt is gay the aunts I'm talking about are twins.
There has always been some things between the two of them so they have not had much to do with the other.
Yesterday, one of the preacher's came to the house where everyone was. The gay aunt had a gay pride sticker on her car. The preacher went into a frenzy about how being gay was a sin in Gods eyes.
Today, was the funeral it was very beautiful & very emotional for all of us, most of the family it seems call themselves christian.
There were two preachers at this one because my wifes uncle was also raised by by them & he was from his church.
Instead of talking about how then man lived & how everyone loved him it became a sermon about why everyone should get right with God.
I have admitted I have some problems with christiany in the past & that I'm working on them & these are some of the reasons why. But why take someone's death & use it to tell people that if do not get right with God they are going to hell? Why jump into a rant about how this country is based on when we're supposed to be there to honor this beautiful man?
I really don't expect a response to this I'm just ranting here.....:foot:
