The bible seems full of vengeful remonstrations from God against non-believers. He supposedly totally flooded the Earth, indiscriminately killing uncountable scads of innocent creatures and non-Christian human subjects. He gets all "pissified" when confronted. He slays attackers, and brings pestilence and famine on the non-chosen tribes of this world (tho' He apparently ignored the Iroquois, the Apaches and the Inuit, who had no knowledge of , or even name for, Him until the white-man priests came along and mercilessly beat it into them. Perhaps those priests were His idea of a joke?).
He even has, according to it's members, a "chosen one" tribe nestled in their claimed homeland in the ME, but forced to live at constant warring odds with those all around them.
So.. did the fellow indeed have a sense of humor? Ignoring the duck-billed Platypus or giraffe for a moment...

Or not.
Oh he had a sense of humor all right. Everybody believing he was straight above them. Church steeples all pointing to the heavens and all. They have never stopped to think about the fact that when one points straight above if they wait twelve hours and do the same thing again they're pointing in the opposite direction. Where is that masked man?
Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
Well, his Son's very first miracle was making sure there was enough booze for a proper party - a completely humorless deity wouldn't have done that, would he?
Based on everything I've witnessed and experienced over my life, I'd have to say "yes".
Of course, that assumes that God is like us in most or every way -- an assumption that is pretty arrogant...

LOL, assuming that this ficticious god actually exists and really "cares for" us is truly arrogant. Why give human attributes to a mythological thingy? But.....Then again.....Mythology has been around in almost every civilization, in one form or another. This does not make it either "good" or "necessary", it just is, kinda like Malaria, Leprosy, or Smallpox-but, with amusement value.

Dusty, my friend, though we apparently differ on the presence or absence of an all-supreme Being, I'd gladly have a beer with you any time...
