When the Isrealites lost the Ark to the Philistines, they placed it before a statue of their god Dagon. When they came back, their statue was face-down before the Arc. They set the statue up again and it happened still.
I think that's pretty funny.
So God can be hateful and revengeful too, according to your reasoning.Why of course since we adopt his emotions.

Yes. For example god hates SIN. revenge ? i guess so since Satan & the anti Christ will be crushed come judgment day, i guess that would be revenge right?
Yes, why else would he give men nipples?Big_Bad_SadBecause everyone is a girl for the 1st 3 months of their development, so when you begin to become a boy the nipples remain
[QUOTE="Big_Bad_Sad"]Yes, why else would he give men nipples?pete_merlinBecause everyone is a girl for the 1st 3 months of their development, so when you begin to become a boy the nipples remain So he hasnt got a sense of humour? Hes just lazy.
Absolutely.
In looking at the person of Jesus, do you really think that he sat around with twelve other men without once falling over with laughter? He was called a drunkard and a glutton by the religious officials because he so often hung out with the common people. People seemed to love being around him, perhaps because he was a joy to be around?
Also, being that humanity was created in the image of God, would that not mean we share the same emotions? Sure, God is perfectly in control of his emotions, but if we share emotions like anger, happiness, sadness, etc., why can we not also share humor?
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 states, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: . . . a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance."
Jesus said, "It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to see the kingdom of God. "
... I thought it was funny. :P

Thats what I call the swiss army knife of mother nature.
I don't recall too much humor in the Bible. (Too much = None!) I would think he had humor though. At least to some degree since he in a way invented the concept of humor. I'm pretty confident all the humor he'd use, if any, would be lighthearted and has absolutely no chance at offending someone.Symphonycomethimpossible. no matter how innocent the joke there is always some mope that will be offended.

I hate religion topics. I post something "offensive" to Christians, someone reports me, and I get my usual weekly suspension. I guess my suspension will come early early this week with all of these Christian threads today. Oh well.What is the ****ing point of these threads :roll:

Doing something merely to offend others so you can laugh a couple of times. And people say religion make people less civilized :roll:What is the ****ing point of these threads :roll:

I think they are speaking in general about the sudden explosion of "god" threads. .... And in that case, if you dont want to see the thread, dont post in it or read it. Pretty simple. Theres nothing offensive contained inside, because if there were then the mods would lock it ^_^

I'm also honestly curious; can you explain what is offensive about discussing whether or not God has a sense of humor?
I may have different point of view from you, but i see this and other topics offensive. God is worshiped by jews, Christians, and Muslims. They all consider him a perfect all mighty being that should not be offended in any possible way. As a theist, you cant say "Ah is god male or female? is he homosexual? does he have a sense of humor?". But as an atheist, you can say about him whatever you want, since you dont even acknowledge his existence. But i expect atheists, out of respect to theists, not to mention God in such offending positions and ideas, even if they dont give a rat ass about him. Its like me being a muslim and meet with someone who worship a cow and tell him "hey dude i kill cows for the lulz, then i enjoy their delicious meet every dam day". May be its me tho.GazaAliI absolutely don't get it; I've spoken to Christians and Jews who describe God as having a sense of humor, and, at least in the Jewish and Christian traditions, mankind is described as having been created in the image and with some of the attributes of God. Discussing which human attributes God shares seems like a way to be closer to Him to me. Your "cow killing" analogy is not at all similar. I don't see God being mocked here at all.

May be its me tho.GazaAliThe fact that you find the very idea of God having a sense of humour offensive says a lot of things about organised religion and its followers, and none of them are good. Also, I resent you for making me ragepost out of character for this account. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to laughing raucously at people endangering their lives.

Barnacles have penises that can reach over eight times the length of their bodies.
Not only does god have a sense of humor, but it's the sense of humor of a twelve year old boy.
