Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture
Incorporating perspectives from religious studies, humor studies, cultural and film studies, and theology, as well as original data from textual analysis and the voices of religious comedians, this book critically analyses the experiences of believers who appreciate that their faith is not necessarily a barrier to their laughter. It is often thought that religion and humor are incompatible, but Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture shows that humor is not only a popular means of entertainment, but also a way in which an individual or community expresses their identity and values.Elisha McIntyre argues that believers embrace their sense of humor, actively producing and consciously consuming comic entertainment that reflects their own experiences. This process is not however without conflict. The book argues that there are specific characteristics that indicate a unique kind of humor that may be called ‘religious humor’.Through an examination of religious humor found in stand-up comedy, television sitcoms, comedy film and satirical cartoons, and drawing on interview data, the book outlines the main considerations that Christians take into account when choosing their comedy entertainment.These include questions about ideology, blasphemy, taboos around the body, and the motives behind the joke.

Are religious people more intelligent than non-religious people?
Intelligence is a complex and multifaceted trait that cannot be solely determined by a person's religious beliefs. There is no conclusive evidence to suggest that religious people are inherently more intelligent than non-religious people, as intelligence is influenced by a variety of factors such as genetics, environment, education, and life experiences. It is important to recognize that individuals of all religious and non-religious backgrounds have the capacity for intelligence and critical thinking. Therefore, it is not accurate to make generalizations about the intelligence of religious versus non-religious individuals.
-
Why do non-religious people not celebrate religious holidays?
Non-religious people may choose not to celebrate religious holidays because they do not adhere to the beliefs or practices associated with those holidays. They may not find personal significance or meaning in the religious aspects of the holidays and therefore do not feel compelled to participate. Additionally, some non-religious individuals may prefer to celebrate holidays that align more closely with their own values and beliefs.

Can religious ultra-Orthodox be compared to religious extremists?
Religious ultra-Orthodox and religious extremists can share some similarities, such as a strict adherence to religious laws and traditions, and a resistance to modern secular influences. However, it is important to note that not all ultra-Orthodox individuals are extremists, and not all religious extremists are ultra-Orthodox. While some ultra-Orthodox groups may hold extreme views and engage in radical behavior, it is not accurate or fair to categorize all ultra-Orthodox individuals as extremists. It is important to approach each group or individual with an open mind and not make assumptions based on stereotypes.
-
Are most religious people nicer than non-religious people?
It is not accurate to make a blanket statement about the behavior of most religious people compared to non-religious people. People's behavior is influenced by a variety of factors, including their individual personalities, upbringing, and personal beliefs. While some religious individuals may exhibit kindness and compassion as a result of their faith, there are also many non-religious individuals who demonstrate these qualities. It is important to recognize that kindness and compassion are not exclusive to any particular group and can be found in people of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Religious War and Religious Peace in Early Modern Europe
Religious War and Religious Peace in Early Modern Europe presents a novel account of the origins of religious pluralism in Europe.Combining comparative historical analysis with contentious political analysis, it surveys six clusters of increasingly destructive religious wars between 1529 and 1651, analyzes the diverse settlements that brought these wars to an end, and describes the complex religious peace that emerged from two centuries of experimentation in accommodating religious differences.Rejecting the older authoritarian interpretations of the age of religious wars, the author uses traditional documentary sources as well as photographic evidence to show how a broad range Europeans - from authoritative elites to a colorful array of religious 'dissenters' - replaced the cultural 'unity and purity' of late-medieval Christendom with a variable and durable pattern of religious diversity, deeply embedded in political, legal, and cultural institutions.

Laughter After : Humor and the Holocaust
Laughter After: Humor and the Holocaust argues that humor performs political, cultural, and social functions in the wake of horror.Co-editors David Slucki, Gabriel N. Finder, and Avinoam Patt have assembled an impressive list of contributors who examine what is at stake in deploying humor in representing the Holocaust.Namely, what are the boundaries? Clearly, there have been comedy and laughter in the decades since.However, the extent to which humor can be ethically deployed in representing and discussing the Holocaust is not as clear.This book comes at an important moment in the trajectory of Holocaust memory.As the generation of survivors continues to dwindle, there is great concern among scholars and community leaders about how memories and lessons of the Holocaust will be passed to future generations.Without survivors to tell their stories, to serve as constant reminders of what they experienced, how will future generations understand and relate to the Shoah?Laughter After is divided into two sections: "Aftermath" and "Breaking Taboos." The contributors to this volume examine case studies from World War II to the present day in considering and reconsidering what role humor can play in the rehabilitation of survivors, of Jews and of the world more broadly.More recently, humor has been used to investigate the role that Holocaust memory plays in contemporary societies, while challenging memorial conventions around the Holocaust and helping shape the way we think about the past.In a world in which Holocaust memory is ubiquitous, even if the Holocaust itself is inadequately understood, it is perhaps not surprising that humor that invokes the Holocaust has become part of the memorial landscape.This book seeks to uncover how and why such humor is deployed, and what the factors are that shape its production and reception.Laughter After will appeal to a number of audiences-from students and scholars of Jewish and Holocaust studies to academics and general readers with an interest in media and performance studies.

The Ideology of Religious Studies: The Ideology of Religious Studies
In recent years there has been an intensifying debate within the religious studies community about the validity of religion as an analytical category.In this book Fitzgerald sides with those who argue that the concept of religion itself should be abandoned.On the basis of his own research in India and Japan, and through a detailed analysis of the use of religion in a wide range of scholarly texts, the author maintains that the comparative study of religion is really a form of liberal ecumenical theology.By pretending to be a science, religion significantly distorts socio-cultural analysis.He suggest, however, that religious studies can be re-represented in a way which opens up new and productive theoretical connections with anthropology and cultural and literary studies.

Do you believe that all religious teachers are religious?
No, I do not believe that all religious teachers are necessarily religious themselves. While many religious teachers are indeed deeply religious and committed to their faith, there are also individuals who may teach about religion from a more academic or historical perspective without necessarily being personally religious. Additionally, some religious teachers may have a more spiritual or philosophical approach to their teachings rather than a strictly religious one. Therefore, it is important to recognize that religious teachers can come from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
