When I listen to comedians and they start swearing, I just turn them off. Or when take start talking about christ and making fun of Bible. They get upset when we preach too them, But they don't think we get mad when they make fun of us. Whats the deal?

No way dark humour is the best! its the most thought provoking and intelligent form of humour there is. Tommy Tiernan is a legend, but america booed him out because of his bible jokes. They were halirious. He didnt attack christianity it was just a laugh, and it was brilliant. Even god himself would of found it funny, lol. If God loves us im sure he wants to see us laugh and be happy instead of a big grump complaining about everything. Thats why he made laughter.

I completely agree with you, dark humor is a lot more thought-provoking and requires more intelligence than telling knock-knock and fart jokes.

telling jokes is one thing but making fun of christianity because they think we believe in something that they can't understand. Just because you don't believe in it. That like me say me saying all non christian are just devil's kids doing bad stuff. which is not true.

I understand what you are saying. It makes me upset to hear people making jokes about God and the bible. I think its being disrespectful to Him and to the people who do believe in Him.

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin." "What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?" "Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be. Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me. Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up. Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver. Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method. Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not. Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it. Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it. Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it. Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!" "Good," said the new husband, "but, why?" "You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

This is largely because you are sensitive. A joke is a joke. Try to enjoy it for the joke. I do agree that in some cases, the joke may turn into symbols of hatred which i too hate... but a joke to make us merry irrespective of watever it is about-- is good!

It really bothers me to watch movies like Dogma. It's just wrong bad and wrong. I cannot believe people stoop to such levels to make money and Christians' are buying and watch such sacreligious filth.

I can appreciate dark humor. I've always believed that all humor at it's most basic form is funny because someone in the world finds it offensive. Having said that, I don't know that you necessarily understand dark humor, also known as black comedy. The fact that a comedian uses profanity does not classify their routine as dark humor. I would say that the vast majority of successful comics regularly use some vulgarity in their routine but I doubt even half of them would be considered dark comedians. In fact, I doubt most comedy routines that you would see in a comedy club would be considered dark comedy, even though they may have a couple of jokes that will fit that bill. Dark humor is most common in literature and film. And it's not just a single joke about Christ, but rather the overall theme that makes something black comedy. Some examples of dark humor include M*A*S*H, Fargo, and Thank You For Smoking. Even people who hate comedians that make jokes about Christ and the Bible find these works to be very humorous — that might even include you. Like I said, dark humor is perhaps the most underrated form of humor and it certainly has it's place in the comedic world. I'll take dark humor over slapstick comedy anyday. It's unfortunate that someone would completely disregard a whole genre of humor, but I guess that's what makes it funny.

even i don't like it. a joke should be appealing to everybody, it should never hurt anybody or their sentiments

Car Crash Mrid A cop was driving down a country road when he saw a car in the ditch. He got out of his car to see if anyone was in the car. A blonde popped her head out the window and said "Thank god officer! I got in an accident!" The officer replied with "Well I can see that! Are you okay?" The blonde looked forward and said "Well yeah... I think so." Then the officer looked around and said "Miss.... your car looks like an elephant stepped on it. How did you crash?" The blonde looked at him and said "It was so strange. I was driving down the road and out of nowhere a tree jumped infront of me, so I swerved to the other side and another tree was in the way, so I swerved again, but another one was there again, so one last time I swerved to the other side, but the damn tree got me, and caused me to go in this ditch!" The officer started to laugh hard. "Whats so funny?" The blonde asked. The officer took a second to catch his breath then said "Miss, theres no trees on this road for miles ahead. That was your car air freshner swinging back and forth!"
