Appropriate Memorial or not?

[Anathema]

Tomorrow (Thursday) Marks the 18th anniversary of my father’s death and what would have been his 72nd birthday. Tomorrow also marks 40 months since my cousin John’s PTSD overwhelmed him and he took his own life.

John’s sister Lynsie and I have planned a private memorial event for the two of them tomorrow. When we offered attendance to several others in the family they were quite disturbed and declined. I want to see what you folks think...

Lynsie and I will meet up st the cemetery they’re both buried in around noontime to pay our respects. The graves are almost directly next to each other so that works out nicely.,we will then go to my dads favorite diner for lunch . After lunch it’s off to the shooting range (both the deceased were very involved in the military and civilian shooting events). Lynsie has printed up several dozen targets depicting God/Jesus and I’m bringing about 1500 rounds of ammo for us to use on those targets. After we are done we will have dinner at Johns favorite restaurant then go home.

A fitting memorial to them, wouldn’t you say?

What, no ‘shine?

Alcohol and guns don’t mix. EVER.

Long guns?

Handguns?

Indoor/outdoor?

Distance?

are the two highlights related ... what's with the targets.

why would they be "disturbed" and decline - or at least meet you for lunch for the reason given.

John’s PTSD overwhelmed him

A fitting memorial to them, wouldn’t you say?

maybe not the guns.


Anathema, is this a joke.

Why do you think shooting Jesus is fun?

Are you Roman?

Long guns? Handguns Indoor/outdoor? Distance?

Several different handguns and long guns in a sand pit with distance up to 150 yards.

Yes the highlighted sections are related. Lynsie and I are the two non-chrstians in the family. Both directly related to these losses. The family isn’t very fond of our choice of targets in the least.

I don’t have a sense of humor, and this definitely is not a joke.

 

[Anathema]

Why do you think shooting Jesus is fun?

It’s not about fun. It’s snout revenge/payback; or at least as close as we are ever going to come to getting it.

So...You're Satan?

 

[Anathema]

So...You're Satan?

No. I’m just the guy who finally saw the Light at age 27 when his father died. The Light that was filtering through all the holes in the sieve thst is Christianity and all other organized religion.

For alcohol and guns, suggested viewing is Burt Lancaster, Elmer Gantry. We have not forgotten the USMB thread, Militarism is at the Heart of US Gun Violence. Christianity is famous above most religions for secreting atheism.

All but the part where you dishonor them.

In what way have we dishonored them?

In what way have we dishonored them?

Anger.

That’s a hell of a way to celebrate someone’s life.

 

[ding]

Let’s be honestly. You are celebrating their life or memorializing what they stood for. You are satisfying yourself.

 

[Anathema]

Anger.

That’s a hell of a way to celebrate someone’s life.

Anger is the only emotion that I embrace. That and hatred.
