I mean you never read in the Bible "And God laughed his head off" its more like "And God sent great wrathe on those... This aint a God mocking thread this is a question: Does he find things in life funny does he laugh at our mistakes.
If we make fun of god without the filth added in just good old laugh at God jokes - Im sure he would laugh back. I read somewhere it could of even came from subsim a poster said "Of course hes got a sense of humor he created the monkey didn't he". Yeah but how far does his sense of humor go?

I mean picture this, hes sitting on his throne watching us all next thing he spots a drunk wobbling about near a cliff.

God: Hey Son, come here quick!
Jesus: Yes Father.
God: Look at this idiot hes drunk as a skunk and about to walk of the cliff"
Jesus: I believe that is none other than Kiwi
God: Kiwi again!
Jesus: Yes Father we have saved his ass 77 times now.
God: Hmm what did i say in the Bible about forgiveness? Was it 77 something?
Jesus: 77 times 7
God: Hmm ok we better save his ass again then for i never go against my word.
but lets see what happens shall we i need a good laugh, my creation hasn't made me chuckle since Ronald Raegan became president of America.
Jesus: As you wish Father
Moments later kiwi trips over himself and lands face first into a cow paddy
God: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jesus: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Angels: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
Satan: Damn! kiwi lives again.

So if i got drunk & fell face first into a cow paddy (thats cow poohs) and never hurt myself just a funny incident, would God laugh his head off at my stupidity.?

Has Allah a sense of humor ?

Or is Allah and God the same thing ?

And of course, each religion has its own very different claims of what G-d said and wants.

You are also wrong about the role of Jesus in Christianity (no surprise there ;)), since not all branches of Christianity believe that Jesus was the "divinity incorporated into a physical form" (Unitarians, for instance, generally reject the divinity of Christ).

And Jesus gets quoted like this:
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.” (Luke 13, 24-25);
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes, even his own life - he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14,26);
“But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matthew 7,14);
“Another disciple said to him, ‘Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’ But Jesus told him, ‘Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.’ (Matthew 8,21-22);
“Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels." (Mark 8,34-38).

The gospels and the message of Jesus are tough and merciless in their consequent single-mindedness, like is the teaching of Karma; they are no spiritual soft-washed marshmallows to cuddle with, they are nothing to lean against in the cold winter nights of our lives, to find some warmth and comfort. They compare better to a clear declaration of unrestricted war against the ego. It all is a life-or-death affair, with not one inch of space for compromises, for even in a tenth of an inch everything will be lost again. Do it with all your might and effort and gain all, or don’t. There is no consolation by second prizes. I always found the contemporary church’s attempt to turn the gospels into a teaching of mild charity and soft heartened comfort to please the crowd most disgusting, and to be the most meanest of all crimes. Because what Jesus really told people is as tough and harsh as a truth can be. The pictures of him as a smiling, mild, soft man, an overly emotional weakling, are human follies and distortions only. He must have been strong, he must have been a realist, he must have stood with booth feet on the ground, he must have loved life and man, and he must have been a true warrior by mind – otherwise a human could not gain that amount of insight, and could not bear what he sees coming to him. Telling people that Jesus died for our sins and that we already are saved by that, is ridiculous, and of the most evil of intentions: to hide the truth from people, so that they stay in dependence from an institution with its’ own earthly interests instead. Jesus did not die in our place. He died for the sake of showing us the way each one of us must go all by himself: so to hell with the Jesus of the churches! Jesus is as little a man of the churches, as he is a man of some Christian fundamentalist sects. Both do abuse him. Wake up and learn what he really was about! But possible that this will test your strengths to braking point. Which is okay, since your ego must break in order to allow you true freedom. Again: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”(Mark 8,34)
