Read my site before? Then this is no surprise to you. I just hate religion. It's rare that I use the word hate and ACTUALLY mean it, however in this case its 100% authentic hate. I was born a "Catholic" then at some point my IQ surpassed 58 and I started to realize maybe I didn't believe a mystical long haired hippy in the sky was running my life. Later on in life I kind of went to an Agnostic mentality, and while I still have at times an Agnostic mentality, I consider myself an Atheist at this point, and a bitter one at that. (Only when it comes to religion, I'm not actually all that bitter in general).
I was most recently pissed off with religion, namely the CATHOLIC religion, this past week when I attended my good buddy Joe's father's funeral. A sad event to say the least, I didn't know the man very well but it is hard to accept that I will not hear 'Joeissanottahome' ever again when dialing up his Toronto residence. I went more as a support for the family, and obviously, Joe. They have my condolences (I'm not sure what that really means, but they have my support too.). Anyway, on to my fucking point... When you fork out a bunch of money for a funeral, and I mean a *BUNCH* of money, like a couple 2009 Kia Rio's worth, I think one should expect that the priest at least knows more about the guy in the casket than what's written on his driver's license.
I was appalled. What a fucking chud this guy (the priest) was, he knew all of about two things about Gino (Joe's Father)... A) His name B) A rough idea of how old he was, 62 or 63. That is where his stream of information fucking ended. He literally kept saying "62 or 63" like he wasn't real sure how old he was so he'd just throw some numbers around like it was some kind of ballpark figure. It's not like someone was asking "How much is that girls gone wild DVD collection?" - "Eh Oh 62 or 63 bucks..." - ITS A FUCKING FUNERAL GET YOUR GOD DAMN FACTS STRAIGHT YOU FUCKSHOVELING BITCHTITTED ASSHOLE. Also, shaving your meatstubble on your face beforehand would have been nice. OH AND Also, maybe it would have been worth mentioning at some point how many kids he had, or what he had accomplished in life, or I don't know, fuck, any personal details at any point... you could have mentioned he owned and loved a white chevy minivan and it would have been better than the bullshit sermon this guy was peddling.
Now I know what you're thinking at this point: "Ok! We get it, So the guy was a dick, what's this got to do with Catholicism?" - Well I'm getting to that part, asshole. Slow your role. Why is it every time a Catholic priest opens up his fuckin' meat trap he's gotta be trying to instill the fear of eternal damnation with every second word into everyone around him - it is a never ending fear driven recruitment speech. I would say a good 70%, literally SEVENTY PERCENT of the Funeral Service was this fucking chud of a priest telling everyone in the room that if you don't go to church, and confess your sins, you are destined for what he called "ETERNAL DEATH" which sounds more like a fucking Schwarzenegger movie than postmortem pastime. He literally asked for audience participation at one point with "When is the last time you went to confession?" - I'm not sure if he actually expected answers but I was gonna ask him "When is the last time you got layed? - Christ be with you, fuckface" - His behavior was just a huge disrespect to the family and to the memory of the dude who is in the box, which is what the whole thing SHOULD be about.
Now I've been to other funerals, and I gotta say, not all religions are like this. I went to a co-workers funeral a few years back and he was an African-Canadian Baptist and it was by far the most up-beat funeral I've ever been too. Sure it was sad, but they talked about the guy through the whole thing and all the great things he had done, it was real light on the crazy-religious-talk. I think most people left that one feeling BETTER than when they went in which I think should be the point. They were just trying to put the FUN back in FUNeral. Eh, get it? Fuck that's clever, plus I am sure you were expecting that one.
Anyway - all you religious nut jobs seriously need to change your recruitment tactics. Fear mongering is not the best way to get someone to follow you, also, doing so at a funeral should be the offense that earns you "eternal death".
That is all.
