Does god have a sense of humour?

Answer 1

Yes. He gets a good laugh a my expense every single day.

Answer 2

Yes. The Jesus we read about in the New Testament is a person full of fun, the kind of person children like to be with. The Old Testament is full of wordplay and pun, which we can so easily miss. The New Testament too we perhaps read with the sobriety of the cross that we miss the humour in Jesus' life. Just think for a moment about Jesus' affectionate teasing of the disciples when they just don't get it, of his irony and satire towards the Pharisees, (the whitewashed tombs) or his banter with the Syro-Phoencian woman in Mark 7. Exaggeration and the ridiculous too is a humorous technique of Jesus to get his message across. A man trying to remove sawdust from another's eye when in fact he has a plank in his own eye has been rightly called a cartoon in words. Or imagine a camel squeezing through the eye of a needle (Matthew 19:24) or a Pharisee swallowing a huge hairy, smelly camel. (Matthew 23:24) This visual humour makes Jesus's teaching memorable.

Humour in the Bible gives us hope because we are just as much without hope as the characters in the Bible that Jesus talks about and often teases. If there was still hope for them, there must still be hope for us.

The ultimate humour of course lies in the resurrection....
Jokes are about incongruity, broken rules, surprising meanings. The build-up leads you to expect a certain outcome, then BAM! The punchline overturns your expectations.
The resurrection is just this, an incongruity. Expectation states that death is the end, but God turns everything on its head. As we approach Easter we can remember that the resurrection is God's last laugh!

Answer 3

Next thing i know he'll be into BDSM.

Ok, that was inappropraite.
Fine, Let's assume he exists, The thing is that "humour" mainly stems from being unsure, skeptical and/or not sure about some things. That's how humans have a sense of humour. But if he is omniscient, it would be hard to be all cheery and nice about everything. Unless he has a distinct personality with faults like our own and enough company with personality of their own.

Answer 4

Oh yes, definitely. Look at the duckbilled platypus! And look some of the things Jesus says in the Bible: "Thou art Peter, the Rock" when Simon was just shifting sand. A lot of things in the Gospels reveal Jesus' dry wit.
Besides, He has to have a sense of humour to have servants like me!
Honestly, sometimes I can almost hear Him chuckle--at least when He deals with me.

Answer 5

If he made us like Him then yeah because you got to admit that we have a sense of humour.

Answer 6

Which "God"?
The bible say the first rule ...er, commandment is "I am the Lord your God and I am a vengeful and jealous god and you shall worship none before me". Sounds like a fun guy to me.
My "God" likes live entertainment that's why he made us without an owners manual so no matter how screwed up things get we still can't read the instructions. But we aren't created stupid it's acquired.

Answer 7

of course. lol.

havent you ever said "well i guess thats what i get for doing ___" and its always some ironic incident. such as the girl who always dogs on other peoples looks, and then she gets a huge zit on prom night... guess who that is.. lol

i dont know, maybe a weird example but stuff like that i suppose.

or i could be completely wrong

but im pretty sure he does. sometimes its the only way to teach us a lesson. lol
