Dad Jokes

1 min • March 18, 2025

There is so much evil humor in the world, probably most of it. And throughout the Bible, there is very little humor, and none that I’m aware of by Jesus himself. But does this mean God doesn’t have a sense of humor?

There is a very good, holy, and wholesome type of humor, and it very literally is God’s humor, and it’s called play on words. Since the Word of God is divine, then words are to some extent also divine. This is partly why the devil’s tactics from the Garden of Eden until now has been to redefine and misuse words to confuse and deceive people.

Wordplay is literally playing with an aspect of the divine, which is why it’s the fuel behind dad jokes. The modern hatred of dad jokes is absolutely unjustified and unreasonable, and I’ve always found that hatred confusing and now I see why it’s evil: dad jokes are a part of the paternal nature of God the Father. It’s literally the father playfully wrestling with the son!

That’s why the devil has planted deep seeds into society of the hatred of dad jokes, because he wants to convince people to have a much more evil and impure sense of humor, rather than the wholesome sense of humor that comes from the Father.

Dad jokes and similar word play need to come back in style.
