Christianity

Christianity is an Abrahamic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Its fundamental beliefs are seminally founded on the Old Testament, New Testament, and the Church Fathers, those theologians who helped develop and codify the doctrines of the faith during the first five centuries after Jesus's crucifixion.

By most accounts, these sources of authority make Christianity incompatible with humor. However, a few passages of the Bible, creative interpretations of Jesus's words in the Gospels, some traditions of the early Church, and certain theological orientations suggest that Christianity and humor might share a kinship.
