Christ is fun, in fact, the Bible tells us to be cheerful. :) Being cheerful does not mean we have to engage in sin, but instead, engage in wholesome activities.

Here is a clean Christian joke that I made a few days ago:
What is a Greek's favorite washing machine cycle for his delicate garments? The gentile cycle.

Proverbs 17:22 (NIV): "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."

A little off kilter but:

As the criminal cried to Jesus on the cross, the Lord said, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise". "In the meantime hang there".

Hey, get to know some Catholic religious sisters! They have a deep love for Christ, and are filled with so much joy and have much fun! :)

Having a great sense of humor is valued when considering someone for a vocation to the priesthood ...

I know of religious who love to play board games

We all need to balance life and work, and time for recreation is very important

I'm watching the most recent versions of the chosen right now!

Even the apostles laughed and sang and played various instruments

Many religious sisters I’ve known LOVE card games such as pinochle, bridge, gin rummy, uno etc :)

I hate to not be fun in this thread but I really don't understand what you mean. Do you mean...as Christians can we have fun or do you mean....is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, fun?

Can we really imagine Jesus telling jokes? To be sure, He would sometimes use slightly amusing illustrations, such as the impossibility of camel going through the eye of a needle, but that's not the same sort of thing as "What is a Greek's favorite washing machine cycle for his delicate garments? The gentile cycle."

Sorry, what do you mean by "And then...."? I don't think you meant, "What comes next after the words of Jesus about a camel going through the eye of a needle". I apologise if it's my own fault that I haven't understood what you meant. However, the fact remains that I don't understand.

Fun ... meaning that which is enjoyable (not amusement). It's "fun" (enjoyable) to see God working in peoples lives. Praise God!
