is it a sin to find this funny?

[bunnysfriend]

its a part of the transcript from monty python's holy grail. its kind poking fun at the bible i guess, but i find it so funny? is this wrong, does it count as blashemy?

"Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it
smash our enemies to tiny bits."
And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the
lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and
lima bean-
High Priest: Skip a bit, brother.
Brother Maynard: And then the Lord spake, saying:
"First, shalt thou take out the holy pin.
Then shalt thou count to three.
No more, no less.
*Three* shall be the number of the counting, and the number
of the counting shall be three.
*Four* shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two,
excepting that thou then goest on to three.
Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third
number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade
to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff
it. Amen."

If it is then I have sinned more than once.

Only if you think the Bible is God, but then you have bigger problems than finding Monty Python funny.

Yes you must now fast and beat yourself, 30 lashes every day for a month and then your soul will be ready for repentance.

I don't think you need to worry too much about it.
Remember,nobody expects the spanish inquisition on these matters.

I think you'll find a consensus that it's a sin not to laugh at Monty Python humor.

 

[red77]

Absolutely...............monty python rock................!
its a funny thing really (except its not really) but a lot of the more conservative people I've met seem to posess either no sense of humour or seem to regard having one as a sin.............which is a bit sad in my eyes...........humour unites so many people and is as much a gift to be enjoyed as anything else........anyway, I'm off to watch michael Palin get slapped around by a giant haddock...............

...don't you hear this sometimes when someone is posting about "God will smite those "X" in His wrath!" I think of it as [shadow=green]"Holy Handgrande School of Theology"[/shadow] (tm).

"If life seems jolly rotten, There's something you've forgotten, And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps, Don't be silly chumps. Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing. And...
Always look on the bright side of life."

It's only a sin if you incorporate the "Dead Parrot" sketch in the eulogy of someone who wasn't a Monty Python fan.

My grandmother threw a fit when I told her I was gonna go to the passion and sing that.

Heres an interesting article, that might be of interest.

I was asked to put "The Bright Side of Life" into someone's funeral.

And yes, God will smiteh thee mightily for finding it funny.

Hey Melancholy interesting article, but one nit to pick was they said Jesus Christ Superstar had an afro-haired Christ, but that was Godspell. Other then that it was indeed interesting!
