"A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." Proverbs 17:22
Christians are often caricatured as dour and humorless. As we all know, some are, but there is nothing Christian about that; we are to be filled with joy, even in adverse situations. The reason for our joy and peace is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Joy doesn't necessarily mean "happiness" but there is no reason why we can't laugh because we have nothing to fear.
There is even a Christian Comedy Association dedicated to the craft of comedy delivered from a Christian perspective.
