Dearheart, I really don't think anything about this secret was subtle - what it was was funny. (Does it help if I say that I say that as a devout Christian? What am I saying, it never helps to say "I say that as a devout Christian". I am, though. For the record. I just don't require everyone in the world to recognise a depiction of the resurrection of Christ - with the pennant of St. George, wtf? - particularly not when making an idle aside joke. C'mon, man! Lighten up!)

I know Umberto Eco made a whole big thing - presumably a genuine theological debate at one point? Who even knows - over whether or not Jesus laughed, but I reckon He had a sense of humour. Sadly, it seems He neglected to give the same to all of His creation.

(Also, not everyone's Christian! And that's OK! The OP doesn't have to recognise or acknowledge that they recognised the image.And that's still OK!) The rest of the tone of this secret is flippant and off-hand and fun. I like that in a secret. :D

Wait. Are you wank-baiting? I feel like maybe on some level I'm being trolled.

OP: I feel your pain. My fandom's dead too. And the fuckers just won't come back.

nayrt

Most people know the story/recognize the image of Jesus even if they don't know (or care) about the finer details. It's highly unlikely that someone who googled "resurrection" and found a picture of Jesus doesn't know who it is or why Google supplied it.

And try being less of an asshole to people right off the bat, huh?

Sure thing.

I just think the OP was being funny. Sure, perhaps not in the most tasteful way, but I don't think they were trying to be overtly disrespectful or rude - this is a YMMV moment, but since the rest of the secret was flippant and off-hand, why not take the whole thing in the spirit it seems to have been intended? But then, I'm often surprised when people are offended or upset by this sort of thing, and I double-take at it. Since everyone else here recognises the image, and we're clearly OK with attributing its source material, why the issue that the OP wants to make a joke of it?

Still, like I said, this level of sensitivity something I don't come across often. *shrug* If the original commenter finds it unpleasant or off-putting, more power to them! And if I'm being an outright asshole, then I'm sorry. They're saying they find it offensive, I'm saying I find that odd; we're both entitled to our opinions, but you're right, I could have been nicer. I intended to be flippant - I didn't intend to be a total dick. It's probably too late at night for me to make the distinction, so original anon, if I crossed the line and seriously upset you, I'm sorry. (But I do still think the secret was funny.)

You should probably call an exterminator about that massive bug up your butt.

It's called a joke.

Asshole.

Jokes are usually funny. That's what makes them jokes.

And the bug is happy where he is. Quit hating.

Humor is subjective! Not all people find the same things funny! News at 11!
