I don't think that is really what he is supposed to say at a funeral.... But then I have been to so few drunken fornicator funerals.
I am guessing that he was not a member of the church in good standing?

I have been to one such funeral. The minister painted such a saintly halo for the guy that I ran outside, to check the address to make sure I was at the right funeral. I laughed all the way home. He was trying to fool St. Peter or someone.
Great comment and you're right, preachers get a lot of money to make up excuses and lies about where fornicators and other sinners souls have gone.
We should respect them!
Ahhh,you just don't understand the "Full Gosphel" crowd of fundies. They see religion as a full-contact sport.
