Q: If God created humor, why doesn't he ever laugh?

Humor is very rare in the Bible. But not totally absent. The Bible writers were primarily Jews. They were overwhelmed by the magnificence of God that they could not associate God with humor. This reflected when they wrote the Bible. They consciously avoided any humor. Yet there are places when they knowingly or unknowingly allowed some humor to slip through. Going back to the question, Does God Laugh? The answer is yes. He Laughs, but not as expected.

"But You, O Lord, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision."
Psalms 59:8

"The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming."
Psalms 37:13

"Darts are regarded as straw; He laughs at the threat of javelins."
Job 41:29

God laughs at men because of the futility of their efforts. Yet, it is evident enough that there are things that the Lord finds funny.
