I remember being confused as a kid as to why God from the Bible didn't seem to have any humor. Something felt strange and weird about His humorlessness. Why was everything religious so serious all the time? I remember feeling like it was all missing some deep good thing.

now my spirituality is made out of a deep fount of delight (tickledness, comedy), and it feels very whole. In hindsight i wonder if some part of me had intuitions about the fount early on.

Friend of mine once told me about an ancient Japanese sage, who sought to enlighten people by means of humor.

Sure he does. What about “Abraham.. kill your son!”
*Abraham just about kills son*
God: just kidding! 🤣
Nevermind. That was just sadistic horror. It baffles me how that story is told to children as an example of loyalty and honour 😵💫

For supposedly being creatures "made in his image" he/it is blatantly and starkly inhuman in every aspect.

Fact: there were scholastic arguments that humor is sinful not only because it is insincere but also because in the bible Jesus never laughs.
