i very much agree with your thinking very wise, just a question how would you feel if your child turned to islam or any other religion would it matter ?

as with many situations the culture is to drink, and remember and be merry that IMO is wrong if you go to a persons funeral especially your family's often the words 'lets get a nice stiff drink down us' comes in or 'lets remember him by getting a drink ' and i think to myself what are these people doing, its a somber time and you should have time to think, take in your loss...........
