WOW!

I wrote a post yesterday called 'The True Meaning of Easter'. It was about Easter and how it was originally a pagan fertility holiday before christians starting using it to celebrate the resurection of Jesus and it was meant purely to be humorous.

And I thought it was funny. Maybe I was only one of about five people, but I thought I was pretty clever. So I wanted to submit it to one of the Xanga blogging communities to get more people to read it, like I did with my post about Titanic being a manly movie, since I think less than ten people probably read this.

So I thought about which of the communities would be best suited for a post about a holiday about sex. I thought datingish. BAD DECISION.

Most people who read it seemed to think that I was attacking christianity, and that I was actually angry that christians were taking the holiday away from pagans. Here are exerpts:

"This is a horrible post." (which three other people cited and said they wholeheartedly agreed with)
"Bitching: The new way to celebrate Easter."
"blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. cry about it?"
"i feel dissapointed that datingish would find this ok to feature. must be a slow feature day."
"if it was intended seriously... you really suck at life!"
"sounds like you really just want to get laid."

And then, the worst one so far, "May you go to hell (: Enjoy having sex in hell (:"

Again, I say, WOW!

Seriously, I was trying to make a joke. Maybe I failed, maybe I failed really big, but WOW. I cannot believe somebody told me, "may you go to hell". I don't even know what to make of that. I wasn't even making fun of christians, but seriously, stuff like this is the reason some people do.

I guess the moral of the story is that a lot of christians hang out on datingish, so if you mention Jesus in a joking way, even if it isn't in a negative way, post it on mancouch instead. Or maybe just keep it to yourself.

My goodness. I feel like the whole world hates me.
