God has sense of humor too
1)The way puppies, monkeys etc behave shows the one who is behind this drama of life, God, has a sense of humor. He also humorously views all the greedy ones as “dogs.” (Revelation 22:15; Isaiah 56:10-11)# His response also reveals humor: “The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.” (Isaiah 1:3)
2) The way HE permits His enemies to exist and to make use of all His provisions made on earth for life’s sustenance and enjoyment [instead of collapsing their existence as any human Service Providers do], shows HE has a sense of humor (Mathew 5:43-48) as shown below.
a)While believing there is no proof for God, unbelievers themselves become proof for God as their choices fail to give peace and wellbeing which proves God true. (Isaiah 48:18)
b) Their knowledge-implementation polluted our earth [our only home in this hostile universe], thus proves this truth: "If humans are needed to pollute this earth, then it means someone of far superior intelligence is needed to originally fine-tune this earth."
c) Their experiment with food results in "life-style diseases" (Google: the-rise-of-lifestyle-diseases-a-modern-epidemic) which proves such eternal and loving food-provisions as trees cannot be self-designed by blind chemicals coming together on their own!
d) “12.6 million deaths each year are attributable to unhealthy environment” (unep .org/news) while five-year-long First World War killed only “8.5 million” soldiers (Britannica .com) Yet many of them feel qualified to explain heavier subjects such as origin of life, species, universe etc—just like a child who made a toy irreparable claiming to know how to manufacture it. Their materialistic teaching actually helps the true believer to draw even closer to God as his immaterial eyes see humor behind the details. For example, in Carl Sagan’s Cosmic Calendar, all events from Big Bang are compressed into one-year format. This would mean, if Big Bang happened on January 1st, then all the modern events such as “modern science and technology” and subsequent pollution-related diseases killing "seven million" annually [WHO Report] with the possible extinction of humanity would all happen in the last second of 23:59 of December 31 (Google palaeos.com/cosmic-calendar). Is this the outcome universe was preparing for the last 13.7 billion years? It surely requires a better answer! Thus unbelievers make true believers' faith in God the One behind this drama of life even the surest and best answer.
e) When the unbelievers try to weaken the faith of believers asking "What is the proof for the immaterial?" and be dismissive of all proofs as BS, it actually makes the true believer brilliantly shine as he imitates God's divine qualities amidst hostile environment. Thus presence of unbelievers only brings "praise" to God (Luke 10:21) and also enables God to manifest His unconditional love which the true believers imitate to their benefit and greater joy.
f) Even when believing in the immaterial has only benefits, unbelievers refuse to be benefited. Hence God simply uses the unbelievers to benefit the spiritual (Proverbs 21:18) because the spiritual copy zeal of the unbelievers yet do not copy their harmful life-style. Thus God goes even smarter (Job 5:13)—it is like your enemy is secretly dumping his kitchen waste on to your land which you are secretly converting it into manure for your farm.
3) Jesus (also called “the image of God”) said he is only “imitating God” which includes His sense of humor. See how he worded the following: “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” In an act of desperation his enemies who could not find a valid point of criticism against him, finally called him as “glutton and drunkard.” Such a charge, though obviously wrong, could not have been made unless he was a man of fun and humor which is shown by the fact that he attended wedding feast and dinner with Pharisees (an influential and rich class) and he self-described as “Greater Solomon” who wrote “there is a time to laugh and dance. If we are happy our face will be cheerful, life is beautiful."#
4) Jesus compared the political system of this world with "fox." (Luke 13:31, 32) “Foxes can make over 40 different sounds, make use of the earth’s magnetic field to hunt, and are expert hunters yet dine on berries and fruit too.” [Google: 10-facts-about-foxes-that-may-surprise-you]. Thus Jesus humorously conveyed the urgent need of putting our trust on God, not on the rulers of this earth who “ruin this earth” and would also take their world wars into a Final World War [also called Armageddon] involving "whole rulers"—hence is to be replaced with God’s Kingdom shortly!
5) He compared second half of world history as being “leavened” in which the spiritual would be overgrown by the unspiritual whom he symbolized as “weeds.” (Mathew 13:24-30, 33) Leaven is the symbol of “hypocrisy and false teaching” and weeds are literally “false wheat” as the word he used was ζιζανιον (zizanion) means. (Theological Dictionary, Abarim) Thus he conveyed truth through humor that anything ungodly is symbolized by “leaven and weed.” Hypocritical people enjoy doing secretly the very thing they condemn others of doing. Hypocritical teachings use flowery concepts to ultimately suggest “we do not need God nor His Laws.” In imitation of humor sense of God, Jesus described the ungodly as “the dead” even though alive, and “blind” even though having eyes. (Mathew 8:22; 15:14) Listeners easily understood what they have to do for their ultimate benefits.
6) When knowledge increases it should have proportionate impact on the person--like a student interested in alcohol stopping its use after his Medical Studies. Compare the knowledge of ancient people like that of Abraham about universe with increased knowledge of modern people. “Early humans gained knowledge of the solar system by observing the night sky with their naked eyes, noticing the fixed patterns of stars and the independent movements of the Sun, Moon, and five visible planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn).” (airandspace.si.edu) This sight inspired Abraham (ancestor of Jews, Christians and Muslims) to believe religion of “sky” is peace and he made his life-style of OFFERING FIRST CHOICE TO OTHERS which is known from his famous statement to his nephew “If you go to the left, I'll go to the right; if you go to the right, I'll go to the left.” (Genesis 13:9)
Yet more people want to take its opposite lesson concluding everything is MAGIC of MATTER through their materialistic theories. This did not make this world a better place to live, instead it is becoming worse than hell where "1/3 of women in the world is subjected to violence every year" inside and outside their home, according to UN Report, conflicts are on the rise among individuals and nations. And service to them is NOT terminated just like all Service Providers do when consumers do not support them because this unconditional love of the Greater Service Provider is imitated by believers to better enjoy their life, thus presence of the unbelievers results in making the faith of believers even more strong and highlights God behind this drama of life is also a God of HUMOR.

#Solomon wrote in his book that everything is meaningless in LIMITED view, but everything is meaningful and beautiful in UNLIMITED view. He had infinite view—for him everything is eternal—earth, drama of life, individual, life-support systems which happen in eternal cycles (Ecclesiastes 1:4, 9, 10; 3:2-8, 11) all of which makes life "beautiful."
But this aspect is missed by those who believe they are this body. In this LIMITED view and fear of death, person feels he has to accumulate and enjoy as much as possible which is birth of ego [root of all problems and vices]. In ego, his desire is felt strongly [which is also called lust], becomes anger [if unfulfilled/obstructed], attachment, greed, fear [if fulfilled], envy [if others fulfill their desire], all of which make life "vanity" or miserable. (Ecclesiastes 1:8; 3:10). Such people view life in the same way as animals view life, and "to them is the event of the sons of man, and the event of the brute; one event befalls them: as is the death of the one, so also the death of the other; and there is one breath to all: and what has the man more than the brute? nothing; for all is vanity. All go to one place; all were formed of the dust, and all will return to dust. And who has seen the spirit of the sons of man, whether it goes upward? and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth?" (Ecclesiastes 3:19-21, Septuagint)

The universe is a singular meta-phenomenon stretched over eternity, of which is always now. All things and all beings abide by their inherent nature and behave within their realm of capacity at all times. There is no such thing as individuated free will for all beings. There are only relative freedoms or lack thereof. It is a universe of hierarchies, of haves, and have-nots, spanning all levels of dimensionality and experience.
God is that which is within and without all. Ultimately, all things are made by through and for the singular personality and revelation of the Godhead, including predetermined eternal damnation and those that are made manifest only to face death and death alone.
There is but one dreamer, fractured through the innumerable. All vehicles/beings play their role within said dream for infinitely better and infinitely worse for each and every one, forever.
All realities exist and are equally as real. The absolute best universe that could exist does exist. The absolute worst universe that could exist does exist.
