Not everything on a forum has to be high-brow. Try re-reading the first post but substitute the word Islam for Christianity. You may find it funnier, you may not but that's humour for you - no absolutes.

Perhaps you are putting yourself forward as proof that theistic persons have no sense of humour?

There is no reason for them to have a sense of humour - their God doesn't either. Not so much as a giggle in the entire Bible and I understand the Koran isn't your typical stand-up routine either.

Do ANY of these "religious-sacred-texts" have any humour or human fun in them?

I don't know them all but I guess not.

Which just goes to prove that man invented God and not the other way around.

How could something without humour invent something with?

The whoopee cushion would be totally lost on God / Allah / Buddha / Jesus.....

I thought it was quite funny how almost everyone drowned in the flood because they thought the Arch-guy was crazy.

Funny stuff

You can see yourself out then.

Don't let the door hit you on the arse on your way out.

Didn't Balaam have a talking ass routine? Sort of the Le Petomaine or the David Cameron of his day I suppose.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
