Default Biblical humor
Why are there no jokes in the bible? Is it because God has no sense of humor?

What religious texts outside of the Bible have jokes? I have never seen any? Traditionally even in philosphy I have never remembered reading a joke in the subject material. Jokes are generally conducted by sources outside of the material instead of intrensically incorporated into it from my experience.

It may be that nature has a sense of humor, but I'm hard-pressed to find a sense of humor in the bible. Maybe it's authors were all depressed or psychotic?

Well , as Robtex pointed out , there isn't a whole lot of humor in any written Religion that I know of . Oral Traditions appear to use humor much more then written ... I wonder why that is ?

There's humor in Zen. Some of the Upanisaids in Hinduism are humorous. It's been said that the Tao Te Ching is an inside joke. As for philosophy, Nietzsche had a sense of humor. So did Kierkegaard.

This one doesn't. It's an essential part of many people's core being.

But there is humor of sorts when you can be objective about some of the Bible stories.

Socrates, and Plato's interpretation of Socrates in The Apology had humor by way of biting sarcasm.
