Yesterday I was at the worst funeral ever. So, mom mother's recently deceased husband ( who she married late in life) died. He was a retired minister, yet knowing that I was a non-thiest, he always respected me enough to not bring up religion without me ever mentioning it, and he was a nice guy. Anyway, there was a nice typical viewing, and 2 eulogies, about 2 hours at this point. It wasn't a bad memorial/celebration of his life.... Then the minister got up and talked about "saving souls, and "spreading the word," for 45 minutes. It went from a memorial to Carl to preaching; the preacher had to make it all about him and his beliefs, rather than Carl's life and family, grrrrrrr
