Humor and Christianity

Christian churches do a good job of teaching, warning and supporting congregation members regarding the dangers of extramarital sex, substance abuse, and obsessive pursuit of money, but a terrible job when it comes to making wise, Biblical choices about what kind of humor to receive and spread around. This talk is some parts topical Bible study and some parts testimony and illustration about the ways the pleasure of laughter numbs our sense of right and wrong, and the ways Christians need to become more vigilant against such excesses.
