"Humor is intrinsic to Christianity," wrote Soren Kierkegaard, because "truth is hidden in mystery". But Kierkegaard the humorist was sent to the Danes after the Enlightenment had laid waste to Christianity . . .

I can hardly imagine Kierkegaard, that Melancholy Dane, swapping jokes or drawing caricatures of Christ.  His ironic sense of humor was a bit more incisively subtle, I would think.

Of course, I could be wrong.

"Humor is intrinsic to Christianity," wrote Soren Kierkegaard.

That's crap. Some of the best comedians I ever heard were Jews.

Humor, it is often says, comes from hardship and pain.

Given that, the muzzies ought to be the funniest folks on the planet.
