Try chortling His testicles.

Or just making a plan, of any kind, really.

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

There is "God" in the title, I'll grant you, but really this is a better fit in the "Humor" section.  You have to scroll down quite a bit.  It's after "The Arts" section in the "Discussion" sub-forum just before the start of "The Pit" sub-forum.  While lots of us are into humor some mods could eventually get pissy about the placement.  Just in case you're having trouble locating it, here is a link:

I know where Humor is: at the very bottom! It's sooo beneath me! In a mental wrestling match, I'm always on top! However, sometimes I let them on top so they think their winning but only in my own weight class.

I never understood where people got this idea. A cursory reading of the bible reveals that God doesn't know a lot of stuff. He asked Adam if he had eaten the fruit. He should have already known! He asked Cain where his brother was. He experienced regret after the flood. He had to send angels to find out if there were really just men in Sodom. And that's just Genesis.

So why does God ask these things if he already knows them? Is he just fucking with people?

God laughs when people get killed.

"Job 9:22-24 (CEV) = What difference does it make?
God destroys the innocent along with the guilty.
23 When a good person dies a sudden death, God sits back and laughs.
24 And who else but God blindfolds the judges, then lets the wicked take over the earth?"

Being around Christians is like being in kindergarten.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

With the crucial difference that kindergartens generally operate under adult supervision.
