Why do Christians lack a sense of humor?

Rabbi Lionel Blue told this funny story about a Christian clergyman who had to sit in a train next to a drunk, reading a newspaper. “What’s gout?” the drunk suddenly shouted. The clergyman saw his chance for a quick conversion. “Gout” he said, “is a disease brought on by booze, gluttony and sex.” “Well,” said the drunk, “It says here that the Bishop’s got it.”

That cracks me up every time (so don't say we don't have a sense of humour).

Nawh I don't, Why do you?

We don't. But thanks for asking. Oh, and here we go...

Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree?

<no>

The hide well, don't they?

<pa-dah dump!>

Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God. (Romans 5:2)

MARANATHA! Come, Lord Jesus, COME!

Ah, but they don't! Here are a few examples of Christian humour:

Q. Who was the greatest financier in the Bible?

A. Noah. He was floating his stock while everyone else was in liquidation.

Q. Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible?

A. Pharaoh's daughter. She went down to the bank of the Nile and drew out a little prophet.

Q. What kind of man was Boaz before he got married?

A. Ruth-less.

Q. What kind of motor vehicles are in the Bible?

A. David's Triumph was heard throughout the land.

A. Honda...because the apostles were all in one Accord.

Q. What do they call pastors in Germany?

A. German Shepherds.

Q. What is the best way to get to Paradise?

A. Turn right and go straight.

Q. Which servant of God was the most flagrant lawbreaker in the Bible?

A. Moses, because he broke all 10 commandments at once.

Plenty more where that came from (the Bible)...

Did Pope St. Hilarius lack a sense of humor? How about Cardinal Law or Cardinal Sin?

=)

Why do atheists think attacking is humor?

It depends. But, to the first order, it is because there is nothing funny about people spending eternity in hell.

I can only speak for myself. I traded mine for an old copy of Eusebius' Church History. It was worth it.

The sacred is that which is protected for its greatness and dignity, and laughter is the manifestation of the ridicule, the meanness and the misery of an act or an idea which has a claim to greatness and dignity. Then for them laughter is basically a kind of profanation.

Well, I don't really know, but it should be obvious, considering that they take the Bible seriously.
