Fishon, I can see why one might be offended, if they took this as making fun of scripture. I guess I just look at it as having fun with the way things are presented in church sometimes. A lot of comedy does walk a fine line these days, though, and some is WAY over the line into being nothing short of blasphemy.
Abudant Blessings,
My critic really wasn’t about me being offended. In fact, I didn’t consider that until I read your reply to me.
I simply found it humorless. And I love humor. In fact, I tell jokes from the pulpit, often. Sometimes they laugh, other times they groan.

Barrenmind,
You find it funny; I don’t, so that makes me have a need “to relax?”
I would wager that I am one of the most “relaxed” fellow you might ever meet. If you knew how much fun I have in life, you might call it sinful.
OK, Fishon. Well, that’s cool. Everyone likes different styles of humor. My kids groan at my attempts at humor all the time, but of course, I know it is bordering on genius.

It is the heart that is not yet sure of its God that is afraid to laugh in His presence.
Great one from “Mr. Bean”. Years ago, I remember him doing a skit where he tries to open wrapped candy in church quietly and distracts everyone.
Here is one you will love, I promise:

There is a whole series on various denominations.
Wonder why they had to use a ‘laugh track?’ Because it is garbage.
Just my opinion.

That’s terrific!

Just blogged about it…
Hope all is well Dave

Mr. Bean never stops to amaze me.
fishon, just relax and have fun.

Great old vid from Atkinson. Completely un-pc, the way satire should be.
He MUST be reading from the Amplifed Bible!
or the Message…
ha ha
Just fun.
