You can't sacrilege a sacrileger

As far as jokes are concerned, Conservatives are an easy target. Evangelicals' bulls eye is even bigger.

A group at Wheaton college, however, has sought to retort to some of the easy laughs on the church through a new brand of Christian combat: making jokes. We usually don't think of churchgoers as the satirical blend, but in this case, they hold an air of smug acceptance that humor can not only create smiles, but capture hearts.

This approach elicits some interesting thoughts about the nature of humor in regards to religion. Jokes aimed at the church take aim against peoples' notion of the sacred. It's hard, however, to poke fun at a secular culture that lacks a firm bedrock for ideal.

Maybe it's time for the church to insult freedom of speech.
