Religion lacks humour

Sunday, 18 January 2015, 09:00 Last update: about 10 years ago

The so-called "monotheistic" religions are antagonistic to each other but at least they have one thing in common: They all lack a sense of humour.  It seems that Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad never cracked a joke!

As Alfred North Whitehead observed, “the total absence of humour in the Bible is one of the most singular things in all literature.”
