It took me a while to click but I think Dawg is trying to get an angry and preferably humour-free response from J&Mers for the purposes of irony.
I am now rolling on the floor laughing. :/

@dawg … sorry, which peace-loving religion was that again? Would that be the peace-loving religion which asserts that it is acceptable to kill unbelievers (sura 4:89) or the tolerant and sensitive religion which asserts that a woman is worth one-half of a man 2:282?

Please continue to mock christianity, because they are infidels and deserve to be mocked. However please don’t pick on us because although we keep saying we’re the fastest growing religion we’re actually an insecure bunch who are worried that those numbers are over-inflated due to immigration patterns and inclusion of ex-Muslims who are not “allowed” to leave. You add insufferable prejudice to me because I’m not strong enough to accept that there are opinions other than my own.
And if that doesn’t work I’m going to start burning stuff.

Please continue to mock christianity. However, your ridicule of Islam and the Prophet shows intolerance for a disenfranchised group which already suffers terrible prejudice from the hegemony of straight white christians in the world. You add to the insufferable prejudice by giving aid and comfort to the enemy of tolerance and sensitivity with your rape of the peace-loving religion of Islam. With your intolerance you are the Nazis and the KKK wrapped into one.

I like the old Dave Allen one:

“Everyone in the West shouts ‘Oh God, oh God’ when they have sex. Or “Oh Jesus, oh Jesus”. Do Muslims shout ‘Oh Allah’? Jews, “Oh Yahweh”? And pity the poor agnostics who have to scream, at the height of pleasure, “Oh somebody!? Nobody!? Possibly?! I DON’T KNOW!!!”

An atheist dies and goes up to the pearly gates. St Peter is waiting there, he walks up to him and says “I don’t believe we’ve met”.

Laugh and the world laughs with you,
laugh at me and spend eternity in hell.
Hmmm, decisions, decisions…….

I take it all back – the Jews have enough humour to make up for all the rest of the religions combined:

I like what this episode hits on – it’s one thing to find things funny about yourself – that’s often not hard because who among us has not been a dork or done silly things at some point – but being able to find humour about your group identity is another thing altogether. And what’s really funny is that atheists don’t really have a group identity – since it’s just the one shared thought – no evidence no god – so there’s really nothing to make funny about the group – there are no atheist beliefs to poke fun at – we have no sacred cows, no symbols, no moral code that conflicts and leaves out critical items like not raping women or children (check out the 10 commandments, neither is there) and other religions are pretty much good for women equally second class and children are free labour.

@Mr Gronk: “Elisha and the She-Bears” hehehehe you are so right, God at his twisted best.

Mind you Jesus may have been the first stand up comic – wasn’t it him who told the paralyzed man to get to his feet and walk?

OK I admit there may be some humour there but much of it is unintentional. Like the part where God says to Moses “I will totally erase all memory of Amalek from under heaven so make sure you write that down.”

@Daoloth, Mr Gronk: true, I just wasn’t seeing the subtle humour. I suppose YHWH was a bit of a joker right from the start wasn’t he – setting up Adam and Eve to be deceived by a dodgy serpentine apple-merchant. Of course all the while the almighty & the snake were in cahoots judging by the harsh “punishment” meted out to the snake … to slither on his belly all his days … man that must have hit him hard.

I always thought that Elisha and the She-Bears was a brilliant piece of black humour (not to mention a great name for a band).
And Daoloth, yes indeed, I can just imagine a big mean old testament god roaring with laughter as the sores slowly spread over Job’s body – sort of like a “Holy Land’s Funniest Home Videos”.
Now there’s an idea with potential …

The Sumerians liked their fart gags, apparently:

The book of Job counts as a gag, surely?
