I read alot of questions and answers on here and it seems that alot of theists completely miss some jokes or get angry about humorously worded questions/answers.. here and there you have malicious ones that we should all ignore but it would help if people lightened up.. If someone asks a silly question give a silly answer... don't get all bent out of shape, laugh a little make fun of yourself... we should all be able to laugh at ourselves once in a while, and not take things so seriously. Overall I see a much easier sense of humour among atheists on this site.. sometimes almost to a fault but still quite amusing and funny. What say you??

way way better, and agnostics too. Christians can't risk laughing at anything too risque' because their god is a recovering Puritan

I'm a believer but I do appreciate humor and wit! :) And yes, Ive noticed that most get too personal and too caught up. I however also somehow understand them since it's commanded in the Bible to never use God's name in vain (and now translated to never use anything pertaining to God in anything nonsense).
But I think it's much easier to just recognize the "error" and accept the two sides of the coin than go all worked up and end up feeling angry and upset just because you can't appreciate a God-give talent (even if the beneficiaries won't say amen to the benefactor).
:D

I think it's hard in a written format to convey that I am laughing out loud at some of the questions that I find funny without suggesting that I am offering agreement with something I don't agree with. I've done as you suggest, but sometimes when I re-read what I've written and wonder if it's going to be misleading.

Americans do not generally understand irony.
American Christians suspend a sense of humour along with logical thinking and fail to understand sarcasm.
Muslims are unable to accept cartoons and satire.
Atheists ... we see the funny side of most everything. We also see the dire straits that mankind is in in their lives of delusion. What a waste.

As a Buddhist, i might agree and upload Buddhists to the leading side. locate me a monk that may not stable lively and jolly. the main known (arguably) Buddhist statue incorporates a monk with a extensive abdomen and large smile. Buddhists are greater heavily aligned with Agnostics or Atheists, to a pair extent (yet minus the "concept' device)

I am sure they would not have such a "great sense of humor" if they were the object of "humourously worded questions and answers" all the time. YAWN

Atheists have a "good" sense of humor only when they are mocking christians.They can dish it out heavy but don't respond (you may get reported).

Atheist/Agnosict wit is definately a cut above the rest.
Maybe they got the great "Cosmic Joke" before the rest of humanity.

When a person is not blinded to reality he has a better sense of humour....religion or no religion.

It's unfortunate, but religionists seem to be a singularly humorless bunch.
