Violence and extreme suggested sexuality aside, why does it seem there's so little, or no, humor when it comes to things 'of God'.
Example:
Recently I saw a photo of a Jesus on a cross. Someone had removed the Jesus and attached it with something that appeared to be a bungee cord (a solid piece of metal made to resemble a bungee cord) that gave the appearance of Jesus bungee jumping off of the cross. The caption read something to the effect of: If the real Jesus doesn't do it for you, try bungee jumping Jesus.
Many
'd at it, but there were some commenting anger and disgust, saying things like they hope 'God forgives you [the poster]'.The humor was the juxtaposition of something you didn't expect to see in relationship to Jesus, with no direct correlation to Jesus and his 'works' past the cross itself (which itself, is merely a symbol and denotes no power outside what people attach to it).
While Christians do have a sense of humor that's shared with many non-Christians, they tend to get upset when things from their religious lives are used to denote any humor, sarcasm, light-heartedness or any things that make people tend to smile for the reason than to smile.
Does religion cause people to be less accepting of humor that involves their religion?
Does religion teach this, or is it something religious people tend to accept as a means to protect themselves?
Or is the problem, really, everyone else - not the Christians?
