Re: Re : I went to Church!
My thoughts are with you...
Sounds like it has alot more 'style' than the funerals i have been to, I have always thought religion is most comforting in death, or the deaths of others at least...
I would be happy for my body to be experimented on, used for parts, or whatever way it can be most helpful after i have vacated it...

Sorry if this is slightly derailing the thread, but when I die they can throw my body on a dung heap for all I care. I don't like grand ceremonies and traditions in life, and I wouldn't want them in death either. There's no need to be buried nicely for religious reasons, otherwise a lot of martyrs are in some trouble.

Surely there is no better use of one of god deceased creatures than to give renewed life to gods other creations... from a religious point of view...

Indeed:
"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity."

I share your sorrow for them. I will say prayers for her family, that they may grieve well and move forward with hope and good fortune. Untimely deaths are a burden -- pretty much what I work to defend against all the time....

I'd go so far as to say that real hatred/loathing cannot occur without affection -- it isn't possible to truly "hate" casually.
Also, I'd replace "Catholicism" with Catholics. Hypocrisy, petty-mindedness and feuding are NOT part of the doctrine. Sadly, being sinners, if you use Catholics, I'd have to admit that most (all?) -- including me -- fall short in such ways a goodly proportion of the time.
