Certainly, god must be joking.

I have to spend part of every day being at least a little bit silly. I can’t spend a whole day being serious. It would go against my grain. Anyway, life is both sacred and funny. And I think that’s a nice combination. Maybe that’s what makes life so sacred. That it can be so funny. So unpredictable. So absurd. But often in pleasant ways. I have sometimes wondered if god has a sense of humor. Of course, he must. God wants us to laugh. To have a good time. To see the humor. Because he made some of us look like and act like clowns. Like court jesters. And he made some of us downright stupid. Take the typical Republican, for instance. Certainly, god must be joking. –Jim Broede
