The thing is, while we all know it was a "chain email" joke, the joke was directed to a certain audience. The joke is mainly for christians, and I'd imagine that by and large christians send it to each other for a good laugh. It's a christian joke intended for a christian audience, and while some atheists may be able to take it in good spirits, it still is an attack one way or another. I did not appreciate the joke, for what its worth.

I think you're exactly right. I should have just PM'd it to the Christians here, or made it for Christians only?
If someone could be so kind as post a joke, poking fun at Christians, maybe that will make up for it somewhat? I'm sure there must be a least one out there.
Again though, my apologies.
