    I went to a funeral for a member of my husband's family and the preacher used it as a way to preach very condescendingly about hellfire and people gone astray. Being non-Christian (and not knowing who if anyone there knew) it was very uncomfortable for my husband and me, to say the least. We came there to pay our respects and say goodbye to a loved one, not to be a captive audience listening to how we were going to hell. We understood that it would be a religious funeral, but it would have been much nicer had he actually talked about the good that the lady had done in her life instead of making it all about the sinners among us.

    • At my fiancee's funeral the minister didn't even mention the fact that we have two children, his father or his siblings. He also did one of those ten minutes on person half houir on how good God had been to him and his church. And when I called after to tell him how upset the family was he told me that if he would have know my fiancee was tolerant enough to wnt to marry a nonChristian he wouldn't have done the service. And then threatened that I won't get to see him in the after life if I don't convert back.
