remember the outrage at Danish cartoonists?
why does freedom of speech seem to come into question when people poke fun at religion, even threaten to kill (even if 'peaceful' religion)
can't religion stand up to fun and questions?
ok that was another question

I think my grandpa would enjoy the humor

This is a great question and I think the answer is that not every person in every religion can't take a joke but rather that the people who are insecure in their beliefs can't take a joke that might make them think or feel funny about what they believe

Some people just take their religion too seriously. This is not inherent in religion, just in how people deal with it. Generally I'd say that religious humor is actually quite funny.

When you join a religion your sense of humour is surgically removed along with the rest of your brain - there's no further need for either

Ahhhh, MIRTH and reverence. Both are important.
Most of the Pagans I know make fun of themselves. And we write filks and satires about ourselves.

Those who desire to know the ways of our Father but don't know Him at all, are very sensitive and full of insecurities.
