Today, after our grandmother's memorial service, my 9-year-old sister took it upon herself to solemnly inform the priest in front of everyone in attendance that, "You lied. Jesus isn't here." FML

My immediate family isn't religious, but my grandparents were. My sister was not harshly reprimanded or anything of the sort as she has not been exposed to religion and doesn't understand it at this point in her life. Thank you for all of your kind comments; I wasn't close with my grandmother but it's still a heartbreaking event.

Somebody better do something quick! The brainwashing isn't working... This one might actually be a freethinker. Can't have that!

What is so wrong about being religious? I'm honestly stunned and appalled at the lack of open mindedness on here. It's exactly what atheists accuse "bible thumpers" of always doing. I'm agnostic at the moment, but only because I'm trying to learn as much as I can about religion before I choose my own beliefs. Death and grieving can be very spiritual. Since OP's grandma was religious, I would expect that everyone would respect that. Especially at her funeral.

Good for her. At least someone in that room has a functioning brain.

Well, she's right. You did lie. Next time, try speaking the truth to her about where you're going. If you want to explain that Jesus is there is spirit, that's fine, but you need to explain what that means. If your family is not religious then don't use a religious icon as an explanation. Simply indicate that you're going to pay respect to your grandmother in her final moment of peace.

I see a kid who is grieving thinking she was helping. I'm sorry for your loss OP and hope the healing can start.

I would have laughed out loud, then I would've felt a little bad about laughing at a funeral, but lying to your kids is bad parenting. So let's not fill their heads with magical "omnipotent" beings who conjure up wishes for people if they believe some magician zombie saved them.
