The Funny Side of Religion

robindch · 2007-04-06 17:09:16

There are not many cartoons around which satirize religious ideas. Jesus and Mo' do their bit for the day that's in it: http://www.jesusandmo.net/2007/04/04/plan/ but are there more than just J+M? Post them if there are!

I dunno, I reckon people will eternally laugh at stupid statements like this one

HUMOUR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HAPPINESS neither has it anything to do with beauty or love or joy.Comedy is ridicule albeit gentle but often veiling jealousy and hurt. THE GREAT COMEDIANS OF THE 20TH CENTURY were the most miserable of men some of them committed suicide and had serious drink problems .Do you laugh when you listen to music no.When eating food ..no .Lots of great things in life that are great fun have NOTHiNG w h a t s o e v e r to do with humour.

So you reckon the comedians of the world are really just awfully jealous of their routine material?

Love it! More, MOAR!

Yes, I've never laughed at the Friday Night in San Fran version of Short Tales of the Black Forest by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia, because it has zero humour in it. And I have never laughed out loud when eating a special dessert made with popping candy on the top. Never!

Please don't be a troll, I beg you

I also don't chew when I listen to music, but I do when I'm eating food.
Since there's a small difference between the two it must mean that only one of them can be enjoyable, yeah?

Do you know Stravinsky's Pulcinella? It's rife with cheerfully sarcastic jokes, especially taking swipes at old music.

You might also find one or two things to enjoy in this thread.

I haven't gotten around to Pulcinella, I like Stravinsky but I never put much time into him. I'll give it a go.

I actually hate most of his music, except for that piece and The Rite (both of which I love)...

Meanwhile in Cornell, somebody connects two chatbots to each other and they're arguing about god in less than a minute.

Interesting vid.

The opening monologue could have been about jehova witnesses im not sure...

Door to door people trying to tell you about thier religion doesnt really bother me,i guess they are just trying to get the word out... (I feel bad closing the door on them)
