Christians haven’t always had the best relationship with humour, and often we are the butt of jokes, rather than telling them. It’s a tough line between being funny and being lame even for those not restricted in the limits to what they can say or do, but there are some people who manage it. Here are a few links to sites that I have enjoyed in the past and a couple of my favourite Christian jokes. Just a disclaimer, I take no responsibility for their funniness or any offence they may cause. Enjoy!
SITES
These guys have the distinction of very kindly rejecting a piece of mine.
Veyr clever English site (British humour is always better) though probably more liberal than me in their theology. I love the idea of the Mystery Worshipper
Sadly defunct, but worth checking out the archives.
JOKES
Q. How many Anglicans does it take to change a light bulb?
A. None, they still use candles
Q. How many Salvos does it take to change a light globe?
A. Change?!?!
I know the following one will get me some negative feedback, but I love it. In my youth leader days I was invited to a 21st of a friend who attended the local Assemblies of God, a very pentecostal church. I was sitting at a table of about a dozen, me and another Salvo, then the AOG Youth Leader and young adults. I hadn’t met most of them and I was nervous, so I was trying to break the ice so I asked if anyone wanted to hear a joke and they were all eager so I told the following. There was dead silence, and I thought I was in trouble, then their Youth Leader nearly fell off the table laughing. After that we all had a great night.
Q. Why do Pentecostals make the best kissers?
A. They use tongues.
*ducks*
Q. Did you hear about the cannibal who ate a Catholic missionary, a Quaker missionary and a Lutheran missionary?
A. The next day he had an ecumenical movement.
Please feel free to share any jokes in the comments, just keep it clean! And, I would love links to some good quality Christian humour sites.
Finally, here is my attempt at some satire, I hope you enjoy.
