Why is there no humor in the bible? You'd think a 2000 year old book of morals and parables and history written by a bunch of different people would have some jokes. Did none of the apostles or prophets have a sense of humor?

God made the negro as a joke.

The Bible is devoid of soul

I found Jesus' repeated exasperation with the people around him to be mildly funny.

Can humor occur without a victim?

Synagogue of Satan, the jews.
Hilarity ensues!!!
..also, niggers are human! ( lolololol hahaha ha!
No, they aren't. Descended from primates and aren't much smarter than dogs.)
The rest of humanity was made by God.

The Book of Jonah: Scholars widely view the entire book as a rich satire. The "hero" prophet runs away from God in the opposite direction, gets swallowed by a giant fish, reluctantly preaches a tiny message, and then throws a massive temper tantrum when God actually forgives the city of Nineveh.

XD

>And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

That made me kek out loud during sunday school

On one level it is a bedrock cultural narrative for all of humanity. On another level its a spiritual guide. On another level its a flawed history book. And so on and so forth. The most importnant thing to remember is that it has persisted through value creation for its audience. Everyone can take something different away. You need to visualize the situations its describing to find humour in it. A hill of foreskins is hilarious. The pharisees chanting they have no God but caesar is hilarious. David in voyeur mode on his roof jerking it to bethsheba is hilarious. Samson fucking delilah with guys watching in the other room, and then killing them all when they attack him, as she lays there like an old fleshlight, and it happening multiple times, is hilarious. Just work on understanding events contextually. Context is 99% of the battle.

wtf are you talking about?
The Bible is full of jokes, but most of them are puns and unfunny dad-jokes and they don't translate to English.
The story of Jacob and Esau is one big play on words, the entire book of Esther is one big slapstick comedy, Jesus' dialogue with Nicodemus is also a bunch of Greek homonym puns.

Did you not know this?

That part in the Old Testament when a woman dropped a millstone on Abimelech's head and mortally wounded him, and he asked his armorbearer to finish him off, so that nobody says that he was killed by a woman.
But then later on, someone tells the story about how he was killed by a woman.

Judges 9:54
>Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

2 Samuel 11:21
>Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

Alan Watts actually talks about this a bit, he says there is some degree of humour in the bible but it kinda gets lost in translation. Like during the sermon on the mount, when Jesus is telling his audience to cut off their own hand or pluck out their own eye, it's likely that intended nuance was actually hyperbole and a bit of facetiousness. An intentionally ridiculous suggestion to a sort of ridiculous question, so to speak.

You don't find foreskin collectors and talking donkeys funny?
How about when ham sodomized his father in his drunken stupor, that's sort of comedic.
Job..getting dunked on by God because he makes a bet with the devil...I laugh every time I read it.
Or God tells Moses when he asked to see his glory..then God said you can take a peek at my ass, that's good enough for you. Hilarious!
Actually I think the entire Bible reads like a real funny comic book.
>>
God giving in to the temptation of the Devil in the book of Job is pretty funny. God never saying a word ever since is pretty funny too.

Exo 33:23

In the septuagint he says back side, as in you can look at my ass but not my "glory"

The part where the angel tied John the Baptist’s father’s tongue for asking for a sign was pretty funny.

Samson's riddle. Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet. One possible answer was cum, but the Philistines wouldn't say that, they probably looked all shifty and embarrassed

>>545838923
actually kinda weird considering how much jokesters jews are

Buy a common Bible.
Go to the 15th chapter of Proverbs.
Before you reach the 30th and 31st chapters, you will find the testimony of a very cheeky prophet.
>>
There's lots of humor in the bible. For example how John made sure to include that he and Peter ran to get to Jesus' empty tomb after Mary Magdalene told them he had risen and that he outran Peter. Very important detail that needed to be writen down for all the world to know.
