Seriously. When my mom got cancer and ultimately passed, my dad turned to religion. When he passed a couple years later his reverend was there. He got down on one knee to talk to my brothers, 14 and 15 at the time, and told them that if they don't accept jesus as their lord and saviour they'll never see their parents again. It was less than an hour after he passed, while we were still in the hospital room with my dad's body. I don't think I could come up with something that fucked up to say to a couple kids who had just lost their last parent if I tried.

I send all the wishes of someone who could be there to tell him to fuck right off. Or start shouting 'pedophile'.
Funerals are one of the worst places for well-intentioned but tone-deaf and hurtful "support."
At my grandma's funeral, the preacher started with, some people think a cardinal is a loved one coming back to visit, well it's not! Your loved ones are dead and the only way you'll see them again is to go to church!
Even some of my religious family members were pissed.
In bird culture, that is considered a dick move.
Nah it's the juncos that are your dead relatives. Cardinals are too busy trying to become the Pope
If god hurts kids to build his flock, then we need to find the subtle knife and go kill god
Gods die when no one believes their bullshit.
They have to prey on the vulnerable. Only the vulnerable will allow themselves to be exploited- too young or too desperate or too indoctrinated.
Because it’s all about exploitation control.
