4. As a Christian, I find saying "The Lord is Risen" to those whose (non)faith one does not know
to be insanely rude.

I would never say it to someone I didn't, in one way or another, know for sure is a Christian.

It's just rude, that. It smacks of Christian triumphalism of the worst sort that, in my opinion, Jesus would never countenance. I think he'd say "Okay, that's fine - you believe I've risen, that's good - but why say it? Why didn't you feed that person? Or give them drink? Or encounter them like a human being with dignity and needs?"

And speaking of Zombie Jesus, have you seen the movie "Jesus Christ, Vampire Slayer"?

Fuckin' hilarious.
