Pretending at Funerals.

I have been to too many atheist funerals in the last year or two - yet they all seem to have an inbuilt fantasy in common; a quasi mystical element which is pure balderdash.

Reading a novel, I have just encountered one such:

"Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near ... "

One example amongst many.

Purest pap.

Death for atheists and those not in Christ is a horror - the tragedy to end all tragedies leading to a Godless eternity. Either stop the pretence or give God the glory but let us leave childish pretend games alone.
