one of the reasons i have a very difficult in believing in a kind and 
forgiving god is because my mother died young.  there was no reason for 
her death other than the fact that she refused to go to a doctor for her 
chest pains (me & my sisterasked her to go to one the night before she 
died).  and i wanted to kill the ppl at the funeral who came up to me and 
said that her work on this earth was done, and that God must have wanted 
her in heaven.  first of all, her work was NOT done on this earth.  she 
wasn't done raising me & my sister.  granted, i was almost done w/ high 
school, but i still needed a mother.  and my sister was still in junior 
high at the time.  and another thing that happened at the funeral was that 
a friend of my sister's told her that my mother was going to burn in hell 
because she didn't go to church.  anyon who knew my mother would have 
known that she wasa religious person, if nota church going one. we still 
have those cheesy plaques in the house that have various and sundry 
religious sayings on them.  we were not allowed to take the Lord's name in 
vain but we were free to think for ourselves concerning religion.  that 
REALLY pissed me off.  no one can know where my mother went after she 
died, and i wanted to KILL that girl for her audacity.  i guess that's 
enough ranting and raving for now...
