Are there any genuinely funny books written by pious Christians? Is rip-roaring humor possible if you're constrained by a strict moral code?

you can see her butt if you pause it

Rabelais, I assume ?

You can't pause a gif

Not exactly rip roaring funny, more quiet chuckles every few pages.

Also not entirely sure if Catholics should be considered Christians

Define pious.
Chesterton is hella funny.

No, if you are religious or progressive you can't be funny.

hilaire belloc was a devout catholic
his cautionary verses are hilairious

the funniest people are always nihilistic fascists and right wing anarchists

Anything by G. K. Chesterton

Nihilistic libertarians/ancaps

How This thread will go: people will point out hilarious books written by people who happened to be Christian, OP will shot down each one Because he wasn't Christian enought by his own ,atheistic, standard.
You can stop reading now

>tfw I spent some time eating with traditionalist Catholic priests and they kept making jokes about executing liberals

This gif makes me mad. I'm mad that I can recognize what this action is even though its been warped rather extremely here. I am angry that my brain made space for this.

any nihilistic libertarian fiction you'd recommend? I was thinking more of Celinesque euronihilist types, maybe Burroughs? he was a gun nut who hated liberals

Confederacy of Dunces?

based pedo priests

I found screwtape letters pretty funny and I'm not a Christian.

Tristram Shandy

The author literally killed himself, how is that a pious Christian

I think The book of Judges should probably qualify. Its literally Total Recall.

>strict moral code
Christianity is literally the religion of not following the religion.
>it's better to have sinned and repented than to not have sinned at all
>doubting god's existence is proof of his existence

>fiction
I was thinking about comedians

I have never encountered any "genuinely funny books" written by anyone.

If you think farts are funny then the inferno.

Isn't it Unchristian to make fun of someone for being fat, or for being senile? Nice trips btw

Lol what are you talking about? read the fucking book.

Evelyn Waugh. Rabelais. Are you even trying, op?

But the joke is that Sanchez is fat, and Quijote is a crazy old man.

I thought it waas funny how butthurt Dante was towards his contemporaries and how much he hated them to the point of writing revenge porn about them. Though I don't think it was supposed to be funny

bruh... it's not funny at all

Shakespeare died a papyste... and many will call him the supreme humorist, though I don't know if he's exactly devout

Seriously, tell us what happened?

I was staying at a university's Catholic chaplaincy. No scandals as far as I was aware (in fact, I think the community was only 3 years old) but one priest and one trainee priest in particular (there were two priests and two trainee priests) struck me as very worldly and once invited the Catholic ex-mayor who was also a Freemason for dinner.

Augustine

>How, then, shall I respond to him who asks, “What was God doing before he made heaven and earth?” I do not answer, as a certain one is reported to have done facetiously (shrugging off the force of the question). “He was preparing hell,” he said, “for those who pry too deep.”
Always gave me a hearty kek.

Rabelais (for the 3rd time now, take a hint).

He is a heretic. One cannot be catholic and a free mason.

kek that's the line I was just trying to remember

Francisco de Quevedo's satirical poems are pretty funny. I enjoyed the most the ones in which he said:
>Adam should stop being such a pussy because he didn't have to put up with a mother-in-law
>one in which he makes fun of bald men
>one in which he tells Apollo to stop chasing after Daphne and just buy her out as the whore she is to save himself the headache
>every time he insulted his rival Góngora
Him using Góngora's state of belonging to a family of converted Jews is pretty hilarious.

The joke is that Sancho is gullible, and Don Quixote isn't senile as much as he's become a deluded LARPer.

>Quijote
It's pronounced Quick-zote, brainlet.

Chesterton, Belloc, Waugh, Walker Percy.

Catholics are literally the first post-Antiquity Christian denomination so they should qualify alright.

Chesterton can be genuinely entertaining.

> he's not using old Opera that for ages has had escape button to stop everything
