    "When we were in the dark, he brought light.” A funeral service is underway in South Africa for Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. A plain pine coffin, the cheapest available at his request to avoid ostentatious displays, is at the center of the service.http://apne.ws/2Xjah1e

        “Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been our moral compass and national conscience,” South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said while delivering the funeral eulogy. Tutu died last Sunday at age 90.http://apne.ws/8inKuNL

        Great man. Huge loss. But if he figured a pine box would deal with the 'ostentatious' problem, he was wrong. It's all theatre. Pine box included. And the costumes look ridiculous. Nobody does theatre better than organized religion.

        Archbishop Desmond Tutu was never an ostentatious man. For his funeral, he wants to be buried in a plain pine coffin. He was a great & unassuming man, & fought for poor & dispossessed. Tutu lived a life of service & sacrifice. Didn't have to do it. But he had a higher calling!!

        Desmond Tutu Arch was no doubt a force for good and a fine example of a human being to many, but the priests have NOT honoured God or Jesus at his funeral but honoured false Gods by their garb.pic.twitter.com/1g1ZSWa20H
