When someone posts an imflammatory questionto the R and S board that they seem to think is terribly funny, why not just respond with humor?
What they expect, is for all the Christians or whichever group they are targeting, to scream, rant, yell, condemn, and give them all the negative attention they desire.
Why not just respond with humor? Which is the exact opposite of the response they want you to have, and thus you defeat the dishonestly asked question from the outset.
I have to admit, that it gets difficult to spend much time at all on the R and S board. Everyone seems to scream, yell, and condemn. And that atmosphere begins to reflect in my own posts.

Rance,
I would suggest that spirituality absolutely demands a sense of humor.

If it is a totally ridiculous question, I respond with a ridiculous answer. And I enjoy reading all the other ridiculous answers. If it is a sincere question, I respond in same. I enjoy the lighter side. Being serious and gloomy all the time, makes me depressed. People should lighten up at times and enjoy what they have, and be content.

It's true. Even Jesus responded to the Pharisees' condemnation with sarcasm. It's not worth our getting heated up, we should recognize taunts for what they are, either someone taking a pot-shot at religion, or someone trying to get a rise out of others.

respond with humor, compassion. love. any of those things are better than the bile that gets spouted in this category. If you can't do one of the above three things, just ignore it. Most people who post things like that are attention seeking anyway.
Just my opinion and not directed at you.

A religious/spiritual post is not the place for humor. If you want to be funny then you should go to the jokes/humor section.

I try. But sometimes they get out of hand.

Why not not reply at all?
