As far as I'm concerned, sex is PROOF God has a sense of humor.

I doubt that Sodom and Gomorrah's fornicators & revelors thought God had much of a sense of humor

ND grad no longer RC loves this choice......Maybe I'm wrong!

I think this guy is going to make a great Pope. Once you cut past the bull from all of the different media, you can see he has some very clear beliefs.

Re: #4 photo
The devil also has a sense of humor (if albeit a sick and twisted one) as the photo in #4 demonstrates.

Despair is man's surrender.
Laughter is God's redemption.

In the same vein, today's
Wall Street Journal carried an excellent piece by George Weigel on Benedict XVI:
Indeed, and notwithstanding the cartoon Joseph Ratzinger, the new pope is a man of Christian happiness who has long asked why, in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council, summoned to be a “new Pentecost” for the catholic Church, so much of the joy has gone out of Catholicism. Over some 17 years of conversation with him, I have come to know him as a man who likes to laugh, and who can laugh because he is convinced that the human drama is, in the final analysis, a divine comedy.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting.
I'm not Catholic, but I think the Pope is an important influence on all Christians, because of his leadership on moral issues. It appears to me that the Cardinals made an excellent choice in Benedict XVI. May God bless him.

Despair is man's surrender. Laughter is God's redemption. Outstanding quote. I've never seen it before. Is it yours?

God is perfect including His sense of humor. Ever been to devil's tower Wyoming? And don't get me started on the zebra, the camel, the crab when they do that sideways thingy...
