Using the name Jesus in jesting
I was raised a Protestant, but worked at and attended Seattle University which is a strongly Jesuit school.
A priest that taught my philosophy of religion class made a great statement which has stuck with me ever since:
"If you can't laugh at something, you're taking it too seriously - even religion."
I think he knew what he was talking about. He was one of the most well-liked professors on campus.
I try to live by his statement and not take everything too seriously in every case.
I wish everyone felt that way.
