The problem is that the humor is so "good" (ie, well written, witty) that it can appeal to that side of our nature in a very powerful way. And so, we end up laughing along at something we abhor the thought of laughing at (a mockery of God). It is quite like Tarantino's films where you end up laughing at violence and then being shocked at what you're actually laughing at as a believer.

For this reason, I prefer to just stay away from the horrible temptation to laugh at something blasphemous...there is plenty of witty humor elsewhere (Wodehouse, for example).

Yes! Wodehouse is excellent. My fiance owns the full collection of Jeeves & Wooster DVDs.
