Humor in Religion

Ok, now we all know that God has a sense of humor. Just take one look at a platypus, armadillo, or Jim Carrey and they try to tell me with a straight face that he doesn't. Sometimes I wonder whether religion might be just another one of his private little jokes. I can almost envision him bouncing around the world, spinning up religions like Braum's and his 31 flaovors.


It seems that he had fun with it as well, coming up with all kinds of ideas of what he should look like. He is a jolly fat man to the soon-to-be buddhists and had all kinds of fun with the polytheists. I am a wolf! I am a bird! I am a man with the head of an elephant! I am a chick with 6 arms! But, I think he ran out of ideas when he got to Judiasm.. I am a... uhh.. err.. actually, if you look at me, you'll die. Yeah, that's the ticket. And then a few 100o years later, it seems like he said to the soon-to-be-christians, "Ahh screw it.. here is Jesus. I know, I know, he looks just like you, but cut me a break, would ya. Just wait until you find out about dinosaurs!"



But, what I think would be the best part of this joke is that not only do we all have religion wrong.. we all have it a little bit right as well. That seems oddly comforting to me.
