Does God have a sense of humor?

[cosmic_notion]

I am new to the forum and I notice that when posters seek answers other posters often refer "God". I thought i would add a sense of humor to mix by posting an excerpt from the lyrics of an Ian Hunter song called "God". Reading the entire lyric is even more thought provoking and often humorous.

God said if all the things that made worlds float - were all to part - then you would note
The size of him and the size of me - and that’s how big we both shall be

"He said the universe is small - just like some fortune-teller’s ball
And we both sit down - and we play the game - when somebody wins it all starts again

There’s no religion - you did that - it helps to keep your little leaders fat
Like faith ’n superstition stay - to help you pass the time away
But when you talk of time and life - it makes me think of circles, heights
Expansion is the clue - your dreams - are nearer than you’ve ever been

You see my little toy to think - is from two bowls of wine to drink
Don’t take too much or you may drown - behave yourself - see you around..."

God, if he exists, definitely has a sense of humor. And he is one hell of a cynic.

Hi cosmic_notion, welcome to the forum.

Please note we have strict rules (http://www.bautforum.com/showthread.php?p=564845#post564845) here pertaining to the discussion of religion (among other things):

12. Politics & Religion

Due to the contentious nature of these subjects, forum participants are strongly advised to avoid discussing religious and political issues. Please don't begin or contribute to a topic that's merely going to incite or fuel a flame war.

However, the following exceptions apply:

A) Political impact upon space programs, exploration, and science.

B) Focused, polite discussion of concepts such as creationism and "intelligent design" which bear direct relevance to astronomy and science, for the purposes of conversing about and addressing misconceptions.

C) Focused, polite discussion of the difference between astronomy (including cosmology) and religion

Partisan political debate is unwelcome and should be undertaken elsewhere. The same applies to debates purely religious in nature. Likewise, proselytizing will not be allowed. In short, you are allowed to discuss politics and religion within a very limited scope where they affect space and space exploration, astronomy, and science. Nothing more. If you really really need to talk about these topics with someone, take it to email or to another bulletin board.


I realize you intended to highlight the involved humor more than anything else, but nonetheless this falls outside the allowed scope of our board.
