[quote=Anonymous]I got into a little trouble in another thread, unintentionally offending somone with a joke involving the flying spaghetti monster. [url]http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/343778.page#4326266[/url]

I think there is an interesting question here, which I will raise even though I risk starting a thread that may eventually offend some.  I think we atheists make fun of religion much more than believers make fun of atheism.  Am I wrong about that, and if not, is it worth considering the asymmetry?  Are you believers nicer than us, or is there just less to make fun of?  And please try not to take offense at this, but do believers see just a little humor in some things about religion, such as the big guy with the white beard flying through the sky in the Sistine Chapel to touch life into Adam's finger, or a wafer turning people into Savior-munchers?  Offhand, all I think of to make fun of in atheism is the idea of a bunch of chemicals, purely by chance, jumping up and forming cells, and those cells deciding to join together to form a worm, a fish, or Albert Einstein.

Anyone else loony enough to see humor in this stuff?[/quote]
