I want Jesus to come back and say 'THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT'" -
It was one of God's jokes that such a dumb mind had been put in such an eloquent body.
I once sat on the rim of a mesa above the Rio Grande for three days and nights, trying to have a vision. I got hungry and saw God in the form of a beef pie.
Down deep in His heart God is a comedian who loves to make us laugh.
Laughter is the real religion. Everything else is just metaphysics.
God turned to speak to me (Don't anybody laugh); God found I wasn't there At least not over half.
God is always joking. Look at your own life - it is a joke! Look at other people's lives, and you will find jokes and jokes and jokes. Seriousness is illness; seriousness has nothing spiritual about it. Spirituality is laughter, spirituality is joy, spirituality is fun.
I'm a pure spirit, ha ha ha!
I'm really an honorary Jew, you know; all the best people are. I really do feel Jewish, even though I'm a Catholic. The way the Church has been behaving, I'm happy to be Jewish.
I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- unless he purposely shut the eyes of his mind and keep them shut by force.
God cannot be solemn, or he would not have blessed man with the incalculable gift of laughter.
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
I say this with all respect so that it don't upset you too bad, but I say it anyway. When I read in the Bible where he [Jesus] says, 'I Am,' I just smile and say, 'Yes, I Am, too!'
I'm a religious man. I pray for Milky Way.
God displayed a sense of humor when he configured the region between our legs an entertainment complex built around a sewage system.
Delicate humor is the crowning virtue of the saints.
Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts. God designed your body's plumbing system. God designed an ostrich. If He didn't do it, He permitted a drunken angel to do it. Empirical facts can add significantly to the meaning of "being godlike".
Laughter was a part of the church services I attended as a child.
God always answers prayer, sometimes with a yes, sometimes with a no and sometimes with a 'You've got to be kidding!'
Do you think Patrick Swayze now goes up behind people in pottery classes and hugs them just to crack up other ghosts?
If Jesus doesn't have a sense of humor, I am in huge trouble.
I grew up hearing everyone tell me 'God loves you'. I would say big deal, God loves everybody. That don't make me special! That just proves that God ain't got no taste. And, I don't think He does. Thank God! Because He takes the junk of our lives and makes the most beautiful art.
Even the strictest religious person from the strictest religious sect allows a little levity. Today, they congratulate you for carrying the Christian message into the comics.
How can one better magnify the Almighty than by sniggering with him at his little jokes, particularly the poorer ones?
If we may credit certain hints contained in the lives of the saints, love raises the spirit above the sphere of reverence and worship into one of laughter and dalliance: a sphere in which the soul says: 'Shall I, a gnat which dances in Thy ray, Dare to be reverent?'
