I guess one of the reasons I don't is that I suck at humor. But I do believe there times and situations when wit, dry or otherwise, doesn't belong in political/relgious subjects. These can be very sensitive subjects sometimes one must proceed with caution.
I disagree. One of the main purposes of humor is to desecrate, one should be able to have a laugh even at very serious matters. Nothing should ever be "untouchable", because if you can't joke about X then you can't joke about Y, Z and so on. Then what?
I don't trust anyone who takes life too seriously.
If your faith/opinions are strong, no joke will bother you, small or big, tasteful or tasteless.

“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.
If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.
I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.
To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.”
