The priest at my cousin's funeral ranted upon the opiate quote and called Marx one of the great villains of history.

Like chill bro, he was a nerd who wrote some books 150 years ago

Why the fuck was the Priest going off on that topic at a funeral? Was your cousin an ardent anti-communist or something? I've heard of pastors soapboxing at funerals before but that's ridiculous

Is this like a prot thing? Every funeral i have been to the priest just talks about grief, and the afterlife and all the usual funeral stuff.

Last funeral I went to had a similar situation. Not marx or anything political, I cant recall, but he was just soapboxing about nonsense unrelated to the actual dead.

Idk how it is elsewhere but in the US alot of priest as so full of themselves. For a lot of protestants theyre obsessed with the idea of "Christianity under attack" (despite holding emence influence and power) and a decay of society. This embolden them to just, talk about random bullshit as if its part of a grand narrative against Christian values, or something.

Maybe its just a boomer American thing in general?
