When my aunt passed away of cancer last year, I ended up in mass for the first time in 20 years. It was impossible for me to listen to it without being PO'd at the crock of shit the whole thing was. They say funerals are for the living, but what message do the living get?
No matter how good a person you are, you're likely to be forced to suffer through a long, debilitating illness and die painfully in a hospice bed with tubes stuck all over your body. This is because God (if it exists) is a right royal bastard. But hey, at least we tell you that you get an afterlife that nobody has any proof exists simply to keep you from pondering oblivion too much and realizing that 99% of you have done nothing in your life that will last one week past your death.
