Are you just angry because I put Christianity down? There is indeed a point behind what I thought of as a light joke, which is that the proverb seems to be far from 100% true.
A proverb is just a perceived truth, it's basically an opinion.
That covers "proverb", but not "joke". Anyway, it still seems to me people for some reason got very angry about this, and that nothing I say can change that.
