I believe it is man who makes humor perverse or ridicule of satire, not God..

You can also find lots of photos under "naughty plants" which you can imagine without me describing them.

So, were these images in nature created intentionally by the Christian God? Is He even aware that they exist? Why did he put them there? Is it a joke of some kind?

Wouldn't most Christians find these images offensive and obscene?

Please explain what you think is happening. Thanks.
If he didn't have a good sense of humour, the platypus wouldn't exist. . Most likely many Christians may find the images offensive/obscene, but I believe a few wouldn't fail to see the "humour" depicted therein. It takes all kinds (to make a world).

Created through the lust of the flesh, the will of man. Peace

Here's a couple of examples of His sense of humor. I was in the process of drawing my hand back to swat my daughter's behind for the first time when she was a child, and He broke into the scene in a humorous tone, "Tending your little garden?" I cracked up.

Another time, we were all outside doing yard work and I was digging holes for planting annuals and I found an earthworm. Knowing my husband and oldest son were fishing nuts, I yelled loudly, "Anybody want a worm?" To my surprise the Lord answered, "I do, I do!", with the instant understanding of "Jacob, you WORM", behind it. Peace

Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 51


7 Behold, with iniquity I was formed, and with sin my mother conceived me.


Rashi's Commentary:

Behold, with iniquity I was formed: Now how could I not sin when the main part of my creation was through coitus, the source of many iniquities? Another explanation: The main part of my creation is from a male and a female, both of whom are full of iniquity. There are many midrashim to this verse, but they do not fit the context of the psalm.
*

conceived me: Heb. יחמתני, an expression of heat, as (Gen. 30:38): “And they came into heat (ויחמנה) when they came to drink.”






Interesting side note: Not all the Psalms were composed by king David. Some were composed by Adam, Shem, Abraham, Moses and others. King David collected them all and added the psalms of his own which he had composed by Divine inspiration. - King David and the Psalms - Shavuot

Our minister uses humor now and then.
A couple Sundays ago he asked:
"If Jesus had a last name what would it be?"
Anyone know or wish to guess?

I think you've got a one-track mind.

I think this is representative of God's humor.

God having fun with creation...putting lipstick on a fish
