Insensitive religious bastards
I lost count of the amount of times I flew into a genuine rage - and still do - when I mention that my brother was run over and killed a few years (almost 11 actually) ago.

Fairly sensitive subject I'm sure you'll agree. So it really doesn't help when some religious type says that it's ok as "God is looking after him now".

Thanks for that. Guess the omnipotent cunt took his eye off the ball when the car went over my brother. But as long as he is looking after him now, thats ok.

Apparently, it was quite spectacular when the vicar uttered the magic phrase to me. At the wake.

I get this
When my dad died, people would use the "he;s in a better place". How the FUCK can being set fire to in a wooden box and sprinkled on a rose bush be better than him being alive and with his family? Cunts.

Incidentally, James Randi (I think, dont quote me) came up with a great response to the whole "god's looking after him" thing when a small child was rescued by a firefighter from a swimming pool and the mother was quoted as saying "god saved her". His reponse was "no, the fireman saved her". "Yes but God sent him". No, the emergency dispatch team sent him. And God wanst quite as quick at calling 911 for the other 20 children who'd drowned in swimming pools in that state in the previous 12 months.

Again. Cunts.

The one that gets me is
"He/she has gone to a better place"

How the fuck do you know? That may be what you believe, but you do not KNOW it. So don't wind me up with your twaddle.

My preferred phrase to the bereaved is "Sorry for your loss."

Traditional Jewish phrase for when someone's died is
"I wish you long life"
