“Maybe the true mark of a Christian is someone you would eat chicken wings with, and shoot pool with or throw darts with or go to the game with, not just if they could exegete the Greek text and beat you in Bible jeopardy like some Sunday School jerk. Maybe the true mark of a mature Christian is someone that is actually kinda fun to hang out with.”
–Mark Driscoll, Was Jesus Funny? (youtube video)

this makes me think of the book In the Name of the Rose. it is a novel set in the middle ages surrounding a monastery murder mystery. very good read.
anyway, central to the whole plot is the question of whether Jesus laughed or not.
so was He a fun man to be around? or was it only no-nonsense?
