THIS WENT TO FAR

I heard stories about people taking things to the extreme, but church people protesting at a funeral totally takes the cake. As I was surfing the net, I came across an article where a bunch of members from a Baptist church had planned to protest the funeral of Comedian/Actor/Producer Bernie Mac. When I saw the article, I was like, this got to be a fucking joke. It wasn't. A group from a chruch said that their reasons for protesting was because they said he was an evil man who spoke filthy language.
If you ask me, the people who thought about the protest are the real evil ones, who don't have respect for themselves and others, and they got the nerve to call themselves God's children? Please. They ain't nothing but a bunch of evil people who don't the true meaning and value of love, and respect. Funerals are intended for familys and friends to honor the loss and memory of loved ones, as well as mourn and start their process of coping and healing.
So what Bernie Mac cursed when he did his comic sketches. That was the way he entertained people. If those members didn't like his material, then what the fuck they were doing watching it? Like Millie Jackson said on her 1979 album "Live And Uncensored," the ones who be saying I'm dirty, be buying me shit and hiding it!"
That's one of many issues I have with so-called Christians. They be the ones pointing the fingers at people, but they be the main ones drinking, smoking, partying, fucking and commiting adultrey.
You would think they would offer support and comfort to the entertainer's family, but no; they decided to do something that totally tacky just to get some attention for their church.
Everybody's not perfect. They strive to be the best people they can be, but it seems like most so-called Children of God always be the ones putting down people and causing the most drama, when they should be working hard on teaching people to love another unconditionally. Who are they to judge? I know that God welcomed Bernie into Heaven for the good he did while he was on earth, such as being a provider for his wive, daughter, nieces, newphew and grandduaghter, and doing many charitable events for those less fortunate. Something most of these churches need to do and not for tax-write offs either.
Just because they didn't like his style of comedy, doesn't justify their reasons for protesting; I bet if Bernie really wanted to get nasty, he would have jumped out his coffin, ran to that chruch, and cuss all those jackasses out. He didn't take that route. He's probably joking about them in Heaven, and I bet that when it's time for those jackasses to meet God, he won't be happy with their behavior, and he will let them have it.
