It helps to bind societies, offers relief to some of our worst experiences and in many cases keeps us sane and well balanced.
Where then are all the examples and teaching of humour in the Bible and other religious texts? The Bible seems to teach a lot about honour, charity, duty etc. but, unless I'm wrong, has nothing to really teach about humour and the light hearted aspect of living.
I laughed when I read the bible. It all sounds like one big JOKE to me. It's even funnier when people try to take it seriously.
