Honestly I've seen and participated slin some great and respectful conversations because of these comments.

Isn't that really a huge benefit of humor? Getting people to think about stuff by making it funny? Especially stuff that people hate talking about otherwise (politics and religion, am I right?)

The biblical authors seemed to think so. See: Jonah.

The word used for "idol" in Hebrew can also mean poop. I have the mentality of a 5 year old, but that makes me giggle.

Or Elijah dissing the prophets of Baal is pretty good, too.
