I’d like to think Jesus Christ, who was supposed to be the epitomy of a perfect human being, would have thicker skinned than that. I mean we are made in God’s image, so would not God have a sense of humor also?
Also I think it’s evident Jesus was merely being used as a device for humor. I would pretty confidently say that there was no disrespect intended to him or his message, and thus I choose to believe that Christ himself would not be offended. He was a human who, as a human, would no doubt have a sense of humor. Not saying he would necessarily find it funny, but being all knowing and loving (not mocking) I doubt he would be sending somebody to hell over a lighthearted ribbing.
I would probably start to get annoyed at South Park if I were him though… But that’s probably it. Annoyed. We are supposed to be made in God’s image our we not? So wouldn’t God have a sense of humor? Possibly the most perfect sense of humor?
I’ve often wondered about this. If God and Jesus is perfect, and we got all of our good qualities from them, would that mean that God is the most hilarious thing you’ll ever encounter? And I mean no disrespect by that it’s a genuine thought.
I know this isn’t the thread for this but it was relevant to the discussion directly at hand.
