Other than the fact that it makes light of Christianity in a general sense for the purpose of humor, with no specific stereotypes being espoused, I fail to see how this is insulting to Christians. Would it be insulting to make a joke about Britian in which the fact that it's an island is central to the punchline?

Maybe you fail to see the insult because you are not Christian, or don't hold the resurrection of Christ as the most important event in the history of Man as millions of Christians do....just because a stereotype is lacking doesn't make it any less offensive. Your example of Britain as being an Island and using that fact to develop a punchline to a joke is disingenious...please don't ask me to debate this or back it up with facts...this is just my opinion of your post. Have a nice day....😉

Come back and debate us! We love a good debate here. Especially one that contains facts.

As someone who worships Punxsutawney Phil, I find this joke in shockingly poor taste. Phil's prophecies have proven far more accurate than pikers like Daniel as this site will attest to: http://www.groundhog.org/faq/

what is your point, if you do not think the resurrection took place, or is the point you wish no historical fact. I understand the disbelief as we are told thomas did and the jews are said to have put it about that the disiples removed the body. but all this i have to say is down to belief in jesus as our saviour if you do not belive then no matter what is belived by christians you will debunk in some way, but we have our faith and that promotes our understanding.

I have no objection to people having faith in what they are told. Indeed, this is the basis of Christianity. My problem arises when the faithful feel (like our literalist friend Darfius) that he has to twist history and science to make reality fit the literal interpretation of the Bible.
Go in peace Stoker. I have no battle with the Faithful. Only the literalists and fundamentalists who wish to stick their beliefs down my throat and change society to fit their narrow mores.
NO HATE HERE.
JUST A FUNNY JOKE.
The joke starts out with 3 dumb blondes who all die in a terrible accident. St. Peter would like to let them all in but they have to answer some questions first. He decides to go easy on them and if only one of them can answer one question correctly they all 3 get into heaven.
First question: what is the meaning of Easter. First one chimes up, "it is when we all get together and share a large meal in honor of all that we have to be thankfull for. St. Peter shakes his head. He asked the next dumb blonde the same question. She answers: " Easter is when we all exchange gifts in honor of the birth of baby jesus"?. St. Peter shakes his head. Same question for the last dumb blonde: She starts out, "Easter is the holiday that coincides with the jewish passover holiday, Jesus had his last supper with his disciples but was betrayed by Judas" St. Peter nods his head and she continues. "Jesus was killed by the Romans and was buried in a cave with a huge boulder rolled in front of the entrance". Ahh yes says St. Peter. She continues
"On the third day Jesus rose from the dead" Yes yes says the Saint.
"Then jesus rolled back the boulder on that third day, and if he sees his shadow we have 6 more weeks of winter"! Oy! Oy vay! Poor St. Peter slaps his forehead.
See no hate.
Just a funny joke.
Happy Easter and God bless!
When Jesus comes out from the tomb...
