Well, it's not easy to laugh at that though. It'd be uncomfortable laughing at non-belief. We just feel sadness and/or hope. Oops! Don't mean to derail the thread! If I could think of a joke I'd post it. Carry on! Why would it be "uncomfortable laughing at a non-belief," perhaps such as a non-belief in a 'pot of gold' at the end of the rainbow? Would you find it sad that someone didn't believe that? Would you hope that they might come to believe that it was true?
Of course Bert's post was about "humanists." Are you aware of what it means to be a "humanist?"Well this is embarrassing. If I knew what it meant I clearly forgot. Thanks for calling that out! Now I know. Will delete it...sorry!

What we need are a few humanist jokes to poke fun at the humanist world we have created over the past century or so - but without looking I am sure they will be hard to find as they tread on sacred ground. Make some up, if yu consider yourself human.

Ok, I had to Google for a joke. Apologies if it's already been posted! --When my daughter was about three I took her to bed and asked what she would like to pray about. Promptly she answered: "onions." We prayed about onions and the next morning I asked why she wanted to pray about onions. "Because you said in your sermon that we should pray for things we don't like."-- Now that is a clean healthy joke depicting the innocence of children. Some people are going to be highly offended at this unadulterated mockery of the pure innocence of perfectly sinless children.

We need a cartoon of someone sitting on a mountain of 150 million skulls from 20th Century secular wars, pogroms, genocides, final solutions and Communism. This person is asking someone, "We condemn religion for their religious wars, so do we condemn modern secularism for all of this?" All of what? You just condemned religion for all those things.

Well that's life,isn't it? You please some and you offend others. One man's meat is another man's poison sort of thing.

Except of course, pogroms were about religion, so was Hitler's final solution.
Then too, "secular" isn't the same as "humanism."

My understanding that Jewish pogroms were about race, not religion. And the Final Solution was about race, not religion as many, if not most, of the European Jews were not Orthodox, or even religious, at all. Simply put, God had placed a curse upon the Jew. But as I mentioned here before, the promise of God was that in the latter day when that curse would be upon the Gentile, the Jews would be called out of the countries that had been their "graves."

Yup, that's the Truth. He was a Catholic with backing from the Catholic Archbishop during the whole thing. It wasn't a secular thing what Hitler did. He was ridding the world of those who crucified his Savior.

What Hitler did is so complex imo because his line of thought seems so confused. He seemed driven by a rage of hatred against the Jews and that had to come from somewhere. Luther was an extremist too so maybe?

Luther pointed out, it was those Jews who killed our savior. Hitler built on the group hate started by Luther as a common cause battle cry. Every conservative movement must have a common enemy, that rallies the troops.

Every conservative movement must have a common enemy, that rallies the troops. True. But the Jews were suppressed by most Christians for a very long time. First it was the Romans and then when the Romans and Christianity got together, it was done in just about any large center there was for centuries. They were put in their 'areas' and it was frowned on that they live outside of these areas. Even when the holocaust started and the Jews were trying to escape Europe to the States, the States refused them entry. So it definitely was a pervasive Christian mindset that Hitler, being unbalanced to start with, interpreted as a good thing to annihilate them for good. The Luther link just makes it even more understandable.

You're forgetting that for most of 2 millennia ending about 1950 the Christian world held Jews responsible for killing their savior. Russia and Hitler embarrassed themselves so badly over the Holocaust that they decided Jews weren't a religion after all, but a race. Problem is, the majority of genes in the Jewish world population did not originate in Palestine. Simply put doesn't make it more factual -- usually much less factual.

I fail to see how Hitler has a place on a humor thread. Some of you might think what he did to the Jews was funny but I am one who does not. This thread would be better called the atheist thread as I have seen very few funny posts The idea that Hitler acted because he was an atheist - is laughable. For Hitler to do what he did, and the RCC NOT to denounce him - is laughable. For a christian with a crucifix around their neck to say atheists are the cult of death - is laughable. Religious hypocrisy deserves ridicule. In the bible there is humor of the type; puns, wordplays, riddles, jokes, satires, lampoons, sarcasm, irony, wit, black humor, comedy, slapstick, farce, burlesques, caricatures, parody, and travesty. academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/economic/friedman/bibhumor.htm
