It might be true that Christians take themselves too seriously. It might also be true that atheists take us too seriously (judging from the Christian-atheist debates I’ve seen on some blogs; not this blog, but other blogs)!
So in the interest of lightening things up, I thought I’d dedicate a post to a little Christian humor. Speaking of lightening things up, let’s start with—
Light bulb jokes
How many charismatics does it take to change a light bulb?
One, since his hands are in the air anyway.
How many Calvinists does it take to change a light bulb?
None. God has predestined when the lights will be on.
How many evangelicals does it take to change a light bulb?
Evangelicals do not change light bulbs. They simply read out the instructions and hope the light bulb will decide to change itself.
How many Pentecostals does it take to change a light bulb?
10—one to change it, and 9 others to pray against the spirit of darkness.
How many TV evangelists does it take to change a light bulb?
One. But to ensure that the message of hope continues to go forth, send in your donation today.
How many campfire worship leaders does it take to change a light bulb?
One. But soon all those around can warm up in its glowing.
How many Lutherans does it take to change a light bulb?
One to actually change the bulb, and nine to say how much they like the old one.

And finally, one of my favorite jokes—
Did you hear about the agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac?
He lay awake all night wondering if there is a dog.
Thank you, thank you very much—I’m here all week!
Thanks for the lightheartedness. I was hoping to read your original humor which never fails to give me sharp pains in my stomach.
Wow, thanks Amanda, that’s quite an endorsement!
Where’s a good place to eat, ‘cuz I want dinner after that show! ; )
You’re funny!
How many popes does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Just one, and all he has to do is hold on to it because the world revolves around him!
How many atheists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two. One to do it, and one to videotape it so fundamentalists can’t claim that god did it.
Very funny, swamifred! I want you to know that I purposefully left out a light bulb joke I had about atheists—partly because I didn’t want to risk any offense so early in our relationship, but mainly because it really wasn’t that funny. :}
