Evangelical Christians in Cambodia have opinions about funerals! (Surprise!)

Man o man. I am sooooo tired of the hubris. As an atheist, perhaps I won’t be suspected of having a dog in this fight when I say, for the most part, the Catholics and the Lutherans do pretty well. (I’m sure there are others, exclusion from my little blog is not the same as condemnation). But the sheer racism, superiority, and…again…hubris, is nothing short of flabbergasting.

And they have opinions about funerals. Like this one, from a blog titled, “Spiritual Warfare.”

One of our most stark memories of that trip was of the spiritual oppression we felt.  It was particularly sad to see Buddhist and Hindu funeral processions.  These were pretty elaborate affairs, full of ceremony and seemingly oriented toward dead ancestors.  The lack of hope was palpable and our close realization of the thousands and millions living and perishing apart from Christ left us greatly saddened.  The ubiquity of idols added to the physical and spiritual oppression.

At least they understood that lots of the funerals are very concerned with dead ancestors (of course, calling them ‘dead’ is not really correct, at least not in the sense they mean it. But maybe only their dead beings get to remain active).
