The fundamentalist mind lacks a sense of humour?

Whilst surfing around for info about the fundamentalist mind-set I came across the following statement:

One of the most characteristic traits of the fundamentalist mind is a complete lack of a sense of humour.

Are there any well-known "jokes" having their origins in a fundamentalist world-view?

why would one want to insult

why would one want to insult their creator? This is a foolish question, from a poor sense of humor.

LOL. You just proved the basic premise in the OP, that fundamentalists have no sense of humor. Your entire religion, from Genesis to the virgin birth, is the biggest joke in human history, and you don't get it.

Because no such thing exists so no harm no foul. Quit being such a limp wet noodle as Amanda Head said.

And backing Algebe, you just proved the whole premise of the OP.

Wow, that was quick. If this was fishing, SeniorCitizen007 just caught a record whopper on the first cast.

And proved his case.

Now on to phase two .. how many other theists will jump in and take the hook?

You don't even know what that

You don't even know what that means.
Fuck Jesus, Screw the holy Ghost and Drop dead god. NOT ONE OF THOSE IS TAKING THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN. Yahweh can go screw himself. (That is not taking the lord's name in vain either. You my friend have no idea at all what you have just said.

Sorry Cog, but i don't know when you're acting on second degree... well for the sake of it, what is taking the lord's name in vain?

The Chirstian deity's name is

The Chirstian deity's name is Jealous.

Exodus {34:14} “For thou shalt worship no other God: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God”

YHWH is just a descriptive statement: Exodus {3:14} And God said unto Moses, “I AM WHO I AM…

Later, when translating the old Greek versions of the OT, they put in "the LORD" or "the LORD God" or "ADONAI" every place they saw the (YHWH).

Just don't make me do it on the blackboard. Chalk gives me the heebie-jeebies. Crayons and poster board will be fine, though.

Don't liberals also lack a sense of humor?

The way I see it, its difficult to care about something and also laugh about it. To laugh, in many ways, is to be indifferent. Unless of course you're a comedian, and then its kind of your job to find the humor in the things most people won't.
