School was fun today.

In hallway:
"Hillary!"
"Yo?"
"Hey, we were totally in need of a philosopher. C'mere!"
"What's up?"
"We were just discussing the meaning of life. What do you think it is?"
"Something which either is or consists of cell(s)."
"... umm...no, what happens when you die? When a human dies

i would hate to argue with you. :O

[shadowsofgod]

But I'm so fun to argue with!
...
Really...
No, actually, it sucks to be the one opposite me. But it's a damned fun spectator sport. I have a tendency to meet liberal friends of friends and see how red-faced pissed off I can make them by arguing my unfaltering far-right-wing viewpoints before telling them I'm just fucking with them and that I'm probably more liberal than they are. My friends actually encourage such behaviour.

"God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."

so what place has humor in the divine Logos? or is it implicit?

[shadowsofgod]

mmm...Voltaire. *grin*
If one were to take the logos at face value -- in its most common connotation -- it would simply refer to language. Intellectual humor (wit?)requires the highest mastery of language. Therefore, God's connection to the Logos would require the deity to respect sarcasm, wit and humor over all else.

And really, what kind of God with no sense of humor knocks a guy off a boat and has him eaten by a fish? ...and then finds it important to note that said pissed off dude living in the fish is mostly just upset because a worm ate his vine. That's just silly. And has its own book of the Bible...

In the procees, I'll rip off Jubal Harshaw, too.

I figured you'd appreciate the quote.

And though I question your basis for wit's demand of language mastery, this is the same God after all who felt that telling a couple of crappy bald jokes deserves death by bear-mauling.
