Hypocrisy at funerals

You seem to be missing the obvious:

quote:

---

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Matthew 7:1-2)

Christians aren't supposed to decide whether the deceased is going to heaven or not. Funerals are among the rare occasions when they remember that.I find that non-Christians are more hypocritical at funerals. They'll say things like, "He's in a better place," even though they don't believe in such a place.

Life is like a Hot Wheels car. Sometimes it goes behind the couch and you can't find it.

I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't be hypocritical. You should do whatever you're comfortable with, whatever you can live with, since you're the one who has to go on living.Hypocrisy is just another of those facts of life, like anger and stupidlity, that we're all susceptible to from time to time. There's no need to avoid it like the plague. Sometimes it may be appropriate.
