Onasander Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Its really, really sad to see a burial of a king buried under the rite of a religion he would of despised. The Angelican Church, if explained in terms of meaning as understood to modern Brits to the Catholics living during Richards reign, would of been outright appalling and sickening to them. It would of been seen as anarchism, if not outright worship of the Anti-Christ to follow such a absurd religion anthetical to Christian beliefs, and given Richard's humanitarian record (he didn't quite grasp Jesus' Ethical Teachings from what I've read of him), he likely would of of killed the Heathen Ecclesiastic presiding over his funeral himself had they ever crossed paths in the living. This be like burying Gandhi at a Baptist funeral, with a big ole beef buffet afterwards to remise on his life and works afterwards, or for the Russian Orthodox Church to use Lenin's remains as a relic under the alter of a church. It is absurd and disturbing, and shows the population has a remarkable lack of comprehension or understanding of the absurdity of their paradoxes. Why not encase a dead Cynic in a tomb of Gold, of give a Egyptian mummy a Tibetan Sky Burial, or perform a Taoist Rite over bones found in Roman Archeological Digs. Big massive F'up on the part of the British Monarchy in not figuring this one out. That king belongs not just to that little tiny, backwards palebodied island, but to every society EQUALLY descended from it.... England doesn't have sole claim. A great many archeological conventions just got trampled upon, such as respecting the religion of the individual the remains belong to. How thrilled do you think people would be if we started forcing different religious burials on Native American digs from periods clearly predating Christianity? It be retarded, and we wouldn't stand for it. But in crazy crossed eyed England, you can get away with anything. This is insulting. I don't think he even should get a burial given his track record, but if one is to be given, respect his religion, which still is very much around, and give him a actual Christian burial, not some fake made up scam of a rite by illegitimate priests. That kinda of insult is sickening. Admit you screwed up, pop him out of the ground, and do it right this time, or don't bother having a Monarchy at all. I can't believe England would insult one of its kings in such a bad way. Very disturbing. Edited March 27, 2015 by Onasander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfClayton Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 The devine Charlie Brooker is also having a good old moan in The Guardian about Dickie 3's funeral. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/mar/24/why-tug-our-forelocks-to-richard-iii-a-king-whos-such-a-diva-that-he-needs-two-funerals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
