Most jokes are thinly layered mocking. Your point?

Congratulations, you made a thread fifteen minutes before Easter Sunday, just so you could ridicule and ruin the image of Jesus Christ. At least the Orthodox Christians got a thread with some respect.

A shame that this is what it comes down to, kids parodying Christianity by comparing its Prophet to a brainless zombie, and celebrating his name by playing half a day of video games.

Me? I'll enjoy time with friends and family, at church and at home, while enjoying a feast that was made possible by the Messiah that you mock and his father.


... Are you offended by such a joke?
And btw, how did the Jesus child make your particular feast possible? You would've been able to have exactly the same things without Christianity.

1. Boring.
2. That feast wasn't made possible by anyone other than the ones who bought it.
3. Lolwhut?

Regarding everyone else in the thread:

Trolling.

And since when is the tradition of our church, ninety seven years old, of making food from scratch (made possible by God almighty) so your fellow churchgoers can enjoy and have a wonderful time?

You may not share the beliefs or the customs of family and friends, but there is no need to spit in the face of it and disrespect it so. Have some courtesy, please.

To everyone who is getting upset at a joke, get over yourselves.

Look at it this way. You say we're all going to hell? If that's the case the jokes on us, right? So there. Now everyone can be happy. :p

Stop giving atheist a bad name. There are other ways to criticize a religion without using incendiary tactics like this.
“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.”
― Christopher Hitchens

Calm down, other people are allowed to enjoy the holiday in their own way. Here in Australia I've never been told to burn in Hell because I do a holiday differently. In fact, the school bloody chaplain likes to call it Zombie Jesus Day too. It's just a joke.

That is a bad question, to say the least.

You may not be able to fathom it, but I am a proud Christian, I believe that God almighty exists, and I believe Jesus Christ is his son and the Messiah. Ergo, I believe that since God exists, all the things possible to create such a feast would not exist (just as we would not exist).

Happy Easter to you too! I'm going to spend the day by going to Church first, then after we'll go hunt for some eggs and thanking God for the wonderful food at lunch time. Also will end with going to Church again at 6. Cheers Mate!

No, I wasn't trolling. Anyway, I HIGHLY doubt you make food from scratch. You're saying you make food from things you didn't buy from a store or from any market whatsoever? How is it made possible by God? It's YOUR money, which YOU earned. If anything, it's made possible by your parents, who gave birth to you. I fail to see how this is a "wonderful time" personally, and would rather be enjoying a day of eating candy, playing video games, etc. with my friends.

Yes, I don't respect the holiday, but I in fact respect your right to hold the beliefs associated with it and your right to have the holiday. Unless I'm kicking you in the face and screaming, "JESUS IS FAKE!" I fail to see what's your problem.
