Why don't fundamentalist Christians have a sense of humour? 1

I have known a lot of people that are Christian and they definitely have a sense of humor.But I think that people see us in a different light.The times when we are judged as not having a sense of humor is when we voice an opinion that may differ from the "educated intelectuals" who justify wrong thinking or wrong actions with their own weaknesses.I've lived long enough to know that people like to protect their way of thinking and their convictions.I have convictions that I stand by and live by,the only difference is that They tend to live by the convictions of the status quo because if enough people believe a certain way,it must be right.I am convinced that God's standard is much higher than mortal man's foolishness,so I try to model that which is good rather then grouping up with the status quo for the sake of strength in numbers.I have made a lot of serious mistakes in my life,I am not even close to perfect,but everyday is a battle to model the attitude that I know God expects of me,some days I'm not doing as well as other days,after all,I am human.If I was perfect I guess I wouldn't need God.But since I am human,everyday is a process to work hard at learning the true meaning of wisdom,and yes I fail miserably,but I am running a race with hope that God will reshape me(and everybody that claims Jesus as Lord) into a creation that honors God with their lives,not living a life of selfishness,but one of selflessness and one of genuine love for every living person that I come in contact with and hopefully I can make a difference around people with whom I share space with in this world by doing so.I hope my example will earn me the right to be heard through mutual respect.

Educated intellectuals are definitely a minority in this country; and not all of them have a sense of humour either.
