Ironically the Heart of Jesus

Hazel attends a support group at a local church. The location the support group meets is referred to as "the heart of jesus". The support group meeting in the heart of jesus is ironic, because jesus/god would never let something as horrible as cancer take/affect a person's life. Maybe John Green was trying to draw attention to the fact that those people were all so close to death yet they are still alive. Similar to how Jesus, "avoided death" by dying then being resurrected.

    I guess what I find interesting here is how Hazel mocks the kind of belief that sustains Patrick. Is that adolescent snark mean-spirited, in your reading?
