I'm saying that none of the believers at the funeral were being hypocritical. They may well be inconsistent, incorrect, inept, even illogical, but none of those rise to hypocrisy.
Which is why I contemplated changing the topic title way back in Message 22. I realize the point I was trying to get across didn't fit the way I worded the topic or the title. Though I think you are only saying this to either be nitpicky or argue semantic.
If you had made the topic "hooah212002s hypocrisy at a funeral" then it would have been both relevant and accurate. I also think it would be perfectly correct behavior and the right thing to do.
You're funny. I already explained to you why I went. Not only that, but the reasons others have stated that a non-believer would be a hypocrite don't fit me. You still haven't said why either I am a hypocrite or why YOU think I was wrong in my topic.
That's ok though, the other participants have shown me the error of my ways and I accept that.
(I know that probably all sounded very rude and I assure you I had know ill intent)

Re: What Would You Have Me Do?
The only thing I could think to tell his mom was that every day is a new day and you can only hope the next one is better than the last.

Maybe the preaching is all they have if they don't know the person well enough.
That's just it: in this case, the pastor WAS a good friend (allegedly) of the deceased. He claimed the deceased was his disciple (something he was extremely proud of).
IMO, the funeral is to remember the deceased not preach a warning to possible nonbelievers.
Yep. That's what he did as well. The end of his sermon was "this should serve as a good time for you to find the lord jesus and let him into your life".
