what's the difference between jesus and the chicken that crossed the road ? jesus died on the cross
Can you explain why you brought Jesus into this remark?
We can talk about it if you like.. But the point I'm making is that to me, he's just someone who died over 2000 years ago.
It's fine to have your own religious beliefs regarding the life and death of Jesus, as long as you respect the beliefs of others.  Making jokes about a religious figure dying could be offensive for those who truly believe he is their savior, and it wouldn't benefit you in any way to do so.
