Many months or so ago, while I was watching YouTube, one of
the recommended videos, was a bunch of shorts put together. It had about five
different shorts in it. The first two shorts were kind of funny, but the third
short was what got me to think. The third short, was about God living with us
as a normal person, now in this short, God was shown as a really funny guy, he
made jokes about animals, the government, and even a fart joke or two, it didn’t
fully show God as the kind of God that most movies make him out to be, I
laughed a bit and quickly went down to the comments to leave one saying that I
enjoyed the video, when a bunch of comments caught my eye, there were many
things like, “Our God is not a God to be taken in a funny light, we are to fear
and respect him at all times,” or “So it’s funny to make the Christian God a
stupid fool who makes jokes, but if we did this to the Muslim God, we would be put
to death.” And finally “I know for sure that the one true God is not a God who
is the kind of God to make Jokes like this, please rethink your life before you
post something like this ever again.” Now sure there were somethings wrong with
this short (some of the jokes were immature and stupid), but other jokes like
God joking about how a platypus look or a funny dance were something that I
think our God would do if we sat down with him. Now I know I said the World isn’t
ready for a Funny God, what I really think it, that Christians, aren’t ready to
see how funny or fun our God can truly be. Most of us grow up with the Big Old
Man God, looking down upon us and judging our ever move and only laughing at the
devil, when really I think God has his own little SNL show just for us, where
he tells jokes or listens to ours. What do you guys think? Think that maybe the
Christians should see just how funny or fun our God can be?
THANK YOU! I agree completely! And, sadly, I don't know if these people can really ever have a true relationship with God if they just keep him up where they can't touch him.
ReplyDeletePretty much what I was saying. Everyone who respects God thinks He can only be approached in a very limited number of ways. People who don't respect Him like to have fun with Him in ways that offend people who do respect Him, even when there's nothing inherently WRONG or unbiblical about how He's being treated.
ReplyDeleteSomething I really don't understand is people who can't comprehend an intelligent, wise person having the ability to be silly sometimes.
