This last weekend I went back home to bury a very close family friend. She died because of drugs. It was a Catholic funeral and if you've ever been to one then you know just how miserable they are. It seemed most of the time was spent praising Jesus instead of talking about my friend. It's getting harder and harder to keep my mouth shut about such issues. Does anyone else have this problem?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.It's part of the reason I've quit going to weddings and funerals.
I can't take having to keep my mouth shut and tolerate the hypocrisy and abject
stupidity of it all. I was raised catholic. I always knew it was bullshit. Granted, it's
a pretty bunch of bullshit, the stained glass windows are true works of art. But, it's
all still bullshit, nonetheless.
Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Yeah...I've been to huge orthodox Catholic cathedrals for funerals in Haiti, and observed Buddhist funerals as well.
Any ceremonies can be annoying and I have to force myself to tolerate most of them, religious or not.
