Haha - just the title made me laugh.

But to answer your question, and I'm no expert, I don't think so!

Turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana, sounds like they probably had a good time.

I find this interesting. The OP seems to have hit on something, there seems to be little, if any, humor in the Bible at all.

so why would God, who created our complex minds, seem void of humor? Surely there are times he laughs.

Two thousand years ago plus there wasn't a lot of laughing going on. Mix that with the pious you get a humorless lot.

He has no idea what the Bible says about calling someone a fool. You will notice that it's the Christians that really don't have any idea what's in it. Atheists do because they researched it before coming to their beliefs.

Most don't see it as a form of spiritual Cannibalism.

So yes...I guess if viewed in that fashion it can be.


But, an essential part of worship for the 100's of millions of those who believe in it.

oh
well we discovered the eucharist is a form of thoughtform enchantment

The Christian plan for spreading abroad the divine power or grace is principally by means of the cele­bration of the Holy Eucharist, commonly called by our Roman brethren the Mass. We must not think of that grace as a sort of poetical expression, or as in the least degree vague and cloudy; we are dealing with a force as definite as electricity - a spiritual power which is spread abroad over the people in certain ways, which leaves its own effect behind it, and needs its own vehicles, just as electricity needs its appropriate machinery.

55. It is possible by clairvoyance to watch the action of that force, to see how the service of the Eucharist builds up a thought-form, through which that force is distributed by the priest with the aid of the Angel invoked for that purpose. It has been so arranged that the attitude of the priest, his knowledge - even his character - does not in any way interfere with the due effect of the Sacrament.* (*See No. 26 of the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England in The Book of Common Prayer.) There is, in any case, an irreducible minimum which is transmitted. So long as he performs the pre­scribed ceremonies the result is achieved.* (*See The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, by T. Waterworth, p. 55 (Session VII, Canon xii)) If he is also a devout man, those who receive the Sacrament at his hands have the additional benefit of a share in his love and devotion, but that in no way affects the value of the Sacrament itself; whatever his failings, the divine strength is outpoured upon the people.

Deut. 15: 9 You shall count off seven weeks; start to count the seven weeks when the sickle is first put to the standing grain. 10 Then you shall observe the Feast of Weeks for the Lord your God, offering your freewill contribution according as the Lord your God has blessed you. 11 You shall rejoice before the Lord your God with your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the Levite in your communities, and the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow in your midst, at the place where the Lord your God will choose to establish His name. 12 Bear in mind that you were slaves in Egypt, and take care to obey these laws.

13 After the ingathering from your threshing floor and your vat, you shall hold the Feast of Booths for seven days. 14 You shall rejoice in your festival, with your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow in your communities. 15 You shall hold a festival for the Lord your God seven days, in the place that the Lord will choose; for the Lord your God will bless all your crops and all your undertakings, and you shall have nothing but joy.

Darby Bible Translation
Seven days shalt thou hold a feast to Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah will choose; for Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy produce, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be wholly joyful.

Deuteronomy 16:15 Seven days you will celebrate the festival+ to Jehovah your God in the place that Jehovah will choose, because Jehovah your God will bless+ you in all your produce and in every deed of your hand, and you must become nothing but joyful.+

Doesn't Hava Nagila song refer to above?^

Is in the tents of the righteous;

23 This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
