Thread Name: BS: Jokes about Religion Banned.
Subject: RE: BS: Jokes about Religion Banned.
I think self-deprecating humor is the best remedy for a lot of what ails the world. At the very least, it's a good way to check to see if we're healthy or not. If we can laugh at ourselves, there's a good chance we're healthy.

The trouble with religious humor is that most current religious jokes seem to assume that religious people are fundamentalists. If you define me as something I'm not, and then laugh at me for being that definition, that's prejudice. And that's offensive.
