Spiritually Standupish: Where does humor stand in your religion?

Do you believe that whichever God you believe in has a sense of humor?
Can you prove it?
LOL - (((Uncle)))!!! Thanks! I needed that!
Camille - Haha.. I could have sworn you wrote, "Why the big nose, nations?"
No offense, but that's how I first read it hahaaa...
Rachel - You're really funny! You crack me up all the time.

I sure can. Take my ex-wife, please.

My gods definitely have a sense of humor. Here's an example: a few years ago (before I met him) my husband had dumped his ex-girlfriend. He was feeling lonely and asked the gods to bring him a redhead. A few days later, he ran into his ex-girlfriend and she had dyed her hair red. Cruel irony!

Considering that Jews rule the comedic world, I'd say the Jewish God is one funny sonofabitch. I want to be a comedienne, but I don't know if I'm funny enough. My sex dungeon jokes would probably get old pretty quickly...

edit: Aw! Thank you! I'll make sure you're the first to hear my ideas for my stand up acts. lol

As an agnostic, humor is my religion.
It's just about all I have in answer to serious questions.

Humour is very important. Unitarians are the butt of many jokes.

70% of Comedians are Jews. So I'd say, we tolerate it pretty well.

Jewish convert.

Yes.

No, I can't.

Actually some say that to make God laugh, all you have to do is make a Plan.

Psalm 2:4 "He who sits in Heaven will laugh; the Lord will have them in derision."

Yes God does have a sense of humor.

read these scriptures.

Psalm 2 (The Message)

1-6 Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, peoples?
Earth-leaders push for position,
Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks,
The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers:
"Let's get free of God!
Cast loose from Messiah!"
Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing.
At first he's amused at their presumption;
Then he gets good and angry.
Furiously, he shuts them up:
"Don't you know there's a King in Zion? A coronation banquet
Is spread for him on the holy summit."
