If he was making jokes I'd laugh if it was funny.

It's good if people "Fear God" because that's the way it's supposed to be but unfortunately today the all too common problem we have (or God has) seems to be that not everyone fears him which means that if indeed he is the comedian that Voltaire suggests then maybe in turn that might mean that not all the audience would stay completely silent whenever he decides to put on an act worth laughing at.

Quite risque really - considering the time in which Voltaire lived. A wonder the church didn't burn him at the stake for heresy! Personally I do not think that god has a sense of humour at all! But the people that say they know God's will, now they ARE a laugh!

I'll tell you what is funny, the fact that Bibles are now printed in the very house where this Voltaire quote was written.

2 Peter 3:2-4 (King James Version)
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
