Come on now, epicyclo, you can’t just leave it at that and leave us all wondering how you might have put your foot in your mouth. Fess up. What did you say to them?
It started with FFS 🙂
After listening to mealymouthed tutting about single mothers, gay marriage, the Sabbath and catholics while my wife was sat squirming, I launched into a paraphrased version of
“But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.”
Wife is from a Free Church background and these were relatives. Most of them are lovely people but some it’s difficult to tell their lips from a fundamental sphincter.
However I don’t think I’ll be invited to any more funerals.
(My religious knowledge is a hangover of what was beaten into me as a kid)
