...In addition to what Halanna said above, God says in the Bible that he knows our hearts...it all matters but that's what matters most. You will find from my posts that i am no goody two-shoes (i try and my heart is right ) but i AM a believer...i try to be open and accepting of others and not judgemental though.

Here's how God would answer the question as to whether or not he has a sense of humor...

...God says in Genesis that he created man in his own image. We have a sense of humor and so he must also. God did not want to create a bunch of robots though so he gave us the ability to choose to love&obey him or choose sin. In the old testament, when sin entered into the picture (soon afterwards), then man began to abuse his own image and man's image changed. I see NO sense of humor from God from that point on until the new testament of the Bible starts...

...please stop reading now if this is annoying you as i'm NOT wanting to preach. I'm still trying to explain how God's image is like man when man is not sinning. I understand that many disagree with me. This is only MY belief...and i'm not trying to change anyone elses mind.

...so, then, when the new testament began, Jesus paid the punishment for man's sin so man could be forgiven of his sin, his godlike image restored, and was given an ability to CHOOSE obedience or sin. Sure, believers are still tempted to sin but God knows their hearts (he states that in the bible) and that they know right from wrong. Believers have made a commitment to try to obey God's perfect plan.

...soooo, man's image and God's image is the same once again and sharing a sense of humor for those things that fall within the parameters of the 10 commandments

...thank you for your patience if you read all of this . Please don't hate me if you disagree.
