There was this one time when I was at church and I was soo sad so during prayer I prayed to God to help me feel better and this lady next to me started laughing sOOO obnoxiously loud and couldn't stop laughing for 10 whole minutes. I thought it was kind of rude but then I started laughing loud too and thought, "hmm thanks for answering my prayer God."
Only me and her were laughing, the others looked really mad and they wouldn't talk to us anymore. Is it wrong to laugh??? Especially when I asked God to help me feel better, now I can't stop thinking about it and it makes me laugh!

Are you so sure that it was God?

There are times when the Holy Spirit touches someone's emotions and so they laugh. Sometimes people cry in the presence of God, and that is fine too!
The most important thing is that you are open to God.
If laughter was not approved of there, it sounds as if it was a traditional church. Try finding somewhere happy and lively, like a Pentecostal Church, where you would be free to be yourself in God's presence.

Nah. Every once in awhile, something will just strike you as funny and you can't help it. It's not meant as disrespect. So while it's good to try to control it a little, it's not a bad thing.
I remember going to the viewing before my mother's funeral. Very somber, right? My little niece walked up to the casket, and without knowing better, she said, "she looks fake." And those of us around went into the giggles. It was a welcome break to the sadness.
It's ok, as long as it's not all the time!

Go for it. God likes laughter. God gave you a wonderful gift/answer. Some of the prayers are funny.

Yes it is, if for no other reason that it prevents others from participating in the church service, which is why you go to church in the first place.

sounds like you were experiencing Holy Laughter, sometimes the Holy Spirit manifests that way. There is also a Baptism of Joy that people experience.

I don't think it's wrong. I rarely go to church, but when i'm forced to go, if i'm not laughing, i'm sleeping.
