An honest inquiry: Since Christian Fundamentalists believe that the "saved" will go to an eternal life in heaven, then why the sadness upon the death of a "believer"? Wouldn't the more appropriate emotion be joy? And why the condolences for those left behind? Shouldn't everyone be feeling happy and elated that the departed one has achieved everlasting life in the hereafter -- and been freed from what they seem to think is the hell of life here on earth?

As I said befor,e this is not a rhetorical question but rather an honest inquiry in an effort to see how this thought process works.
