I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- except he purposely shut the eyes of his mind and keep them shut by force.
— Mark Twain (1835-1910)
Religion supposed Heaven and Hell, the word of God, and sacraments, and twenty other circumstances which, taken seriously, are a wonderful check to wit and humour.

Well, you DO have to admit that the platypus is a bit of a hoot, don't you?
However, I'd have to conclude that the idea of God is more comical and that he's humor enough to leap to a platypus as the one endowed with a sense of humor.

A creator planned evolution to create the platypus and have it still surviving while humans were at this stage development.
Yes, it does have a sense of humor, but it is somewhere between one belonging to a geeky puzzle builder and a dispatch radio operator.

why shouldn't their be a God with a funny bone?? I always thought that line about peter being the rock was, if it was actually said, Jesus's way of saying Peter was as thick as a rock since he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
PS If Jesus does return I hope it's ONLY on The Daily Show:-)

the fac that men and women yearn for each other while ticking each other off at the same time could be proof that if there is a god he's a insult comic who doesn't care if anyone get's the joke.

*aham*, in intelligent design, we say "designers" and put "God" in parentheses after an "ie."
So, "to make the leap to having the designer (ie, God) having a sense of humor?"

They're, "space quotes."

Robin Williams brought this up in a routine and I would tend to agree... but, I still think that "leap" is illogical.

I think it's pretty arbitrary to assume our sense of humor has anything to do with anything objective. Maybe I don't think platipi are funny, huh, ever think about that!?!? Jeez...
