WHY DO CHRISTIANS CRY AT FUNERALS?

Serious question. If you are a Christian and you are 100% sure that Jesus/God exists, then why do you cry at funerals when you [i]know[/i] that you will see them again? I have two hypotheses: [b]#1)[/b] [i]Their loved one didn't believe in Jesus, so the Christian thinks they are burning in hell.[/i] [b]#2)[/b] [i]Christians are [u][b]NOT[/b][/u] 100% sure that God exists and they cry because deep down they know Christianity is bullshit and they mourn just like the rest of us.[/i] I don't see how someone who is 100% convinced there is a heaven can cry at a funeral for any other reason than the two listed above. If I was 100% convinced that Jesus was going to rapture everyone into heaven except those filthy Jews, I wouldn't shed a tear at a funeral because there's absolutely nothing to mourn. I might cry for like an hour because it would be a long time before I see them again, but I'd get over it pretty damn quick. [b]EDIT #1[/b]: Nice to see all these "loving" Christians showing their true hateful colors. [b]EDIT #2[/b]: I can tell that some of you just can't comprehend this when you give redundant responses like, "What if they just miss the dead?" Is this really so hard to understand? Heaven completely destroys the concept of death. [b]EDIT #3[/b]: Now I understand why Christians are getting so mad. They're being forced to actually comprehend the reality of death and it's just too much for their brains to handle. [b]EDIT #4[/b]: The best answer Christians have given me is that it's like your best friend moving away. That's a fair answer, but remember, you will see them again someday for all eternity so it's really not all that sad.

    You're messed up, just because I'm Christian doesn't mean I cry because I know my religions wrong, I know it's right and we freaking cry because we lost the people we love dude. And btw our true hateful colors are because YOU are making fun of us so

    • Have you ever thought that it had nothing to do with their religion and that they just straight up miss the deceased? Damn dude

        • It's to mourn the loss of life. A face you'll never see again until God calls you home.

        • Most people mourn the loss. I say we should be celebrating the life instead of these depressing gatherings where everyone wears black. At my funeral everyone will be required to wear bright neon colors and someone will be required to grill food. No depressing ceremonies allowed.

            • I'm Christian and I don't bother with funerals, I don't shed any tears over someone dying, I don't mourn at all.

            • It's not because we don't believe in God. It's because human beings are selfish and don't want their loved ones gone for the period of time until you are gone yourself.

              • Or maybe they are sad that someone died. Wow I don't care for religion and all these arguments but you are a prick. Why not be an asshole and realize that some people just cry at sad stuff. I cried when my dog died because we were really close, does there have to be any other reason for that. Grow the -blam!- up kid and listen when I tell you, saying this shit in the real world to another's face will get your ass kicked

                • So you're telling me that if you're closest friend was brutally murdered right in front of you and you could've stopped it, but didn't, you wouldn't cry at their funeral

                  • Why wouldn't you cry? If it was someone you knew really well, wouldn't you be upset and sad?

                  • It is simple my friend. Even though we do hope to see them again, we're still human beings and loss hurts. We're not robots.

                  • It's natural for humans to be sad when they see someone who has been with them for a significant amount of time die and leave this world. Your argument is laughably flawed.

                  • Maybe because it's a natural human response to miss those who are gone. It is in our religion that we'll see them again, but are we not allowed to miss them in the meantime?

                  • I'm 100% sure it doesn't matter. I try and have the nicest time with people I can while they are with me that way when they are gone (for any reason) I'm happy that they were happy while with me. I'm happy that they went on to what ever was next happy and in a good place to face any challenge they will meet. All the other shit is bull, I think your just jealous that they might be having a better time than you.
