Chaos whispers loud,

Mind's cut-up, a dream unbound,

Order slips in dust.

My close friend's father died, and the preacher used it to condemn Captain Jack Sparrow via /r/atheism

My close friend's father died, and the preacher used it to condemn Captain Jack Sparrow

This a few years back, but not enough years for the context to be pretty relevant. And this happened in an undisclosed country in Scandinavia that rhymes with orway, så the preachy nature of this was a bit of a shock to me.

Now, I'm raised more ot less atheist. Allowed to make my own choices to beliefs throughout my upbringing, and I've pretty much been an atheist my whole life. Let's not talk about a period of my life where I told people I was wiccan to be interesting and Mysterious. Oh, that period was so cringe. Ouch.

I have been to church services, and a good number of funerals, they were tame and toothless affairs, which centered on the families loss and the buried's life and accomplishments, and were worthy affairs, so this one took me by surprise.

Now one of my lifelong best friends lost his father all too early to a massive heart attack, and of course I showed my support by being there in the funeral. But my jaw hit the floor, as in between the recital of meaningless bible verses, and stories of the deceased's life, there came an admonishing finger from the priest.

He was describing how our society was sliding into callousness and selfishness, and blamed the Pirates of the Caribbean's Captain Jack Sparrow. He pulled the quote from the first film I believe; "Take what you can...give nothing back."

And the family that had lost someone far too early and suddenly had to listen to that drivel in their mourning.

It upset me, as I have not really had any experience with that type of priest before, not in the least in secular Norway. And though a lot of years has passed, I think about that a lot. Still like the movies though.
