Some groups can laugh at themselves more than others. I'm sure this varies from place to place, but where I am in the Midwest, if you make a white or Asian racial slur, it's hilarious, but if it's a black or Arab remark, NOBODY laughs, and you'll probably get yelled at! It's similar with religion, but don't make generalizations based on your own personal experiences with a Jew versus a Buddhist alone. I'm sure it depends what kind of joke you're making, too.

Buddhists have a sense of humor with their beliefs. Listen to the Dalai Lama's talks and you'll hear him laugh a lot. It takes a secure individual to laugh at themselves.

It's because some Christians have no sense of humor at all. While Buddhists tend to have a sense of humor.

Fearful, insecure people worship a fearful, insecure God. People with a sense of humor worship a God with a sense of humor. That simple.

Maybe 'cause he looks so jolly. YHWH shows everyone how to kill and say it's not murder and that it means you're 'loving'
