Facebook groups made in memory of someone who has died are fine. Death is quite sad, and in this day and age a digital obituary is probably fitting.
Then you read the posts made by people.
Some are what you'd expect, 'Blah was lovely, they will be missed' etc. While others are completely fucking unbelievable:
'Hey ****, this is just to let you know how much I miss you. I think about you everyday and I know you're there looking over me. It's hard but I hope you get this and smile about it.'
'What's it like up there with God?'
'miss u sooo mcuh, cant w8 2 c u agen!!'
Do people really think you can communicate with the dead through facebook?
Logically, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I can't imagine you get high-speed internet six feet under and even if there was, it wouldn't be much use to a decomposing corpse.
Also, it doesn't make sense if you're a deluded fool (i.e. a believer): I highly doubt that you can log-in to facebook in heaven. There's far too much poking and pro Gay Rights groups going on for God's liking, and adding the opposite sex as a friend is probably not allowed according to the Old Testament. And if in hell you got to spend eternity on everyone's favourite social networking site you'd get people raping goats and sacrificing virgins all over the shop.
So why the fuck do people do it?
