Did Jesus ever laugh? For those of you who think religious folk are too dour, here’s a selection of quotes on things spiritual to tickle your funny bone – and perhaps make you feel less solemn the next time you start to consider why we’re here. Or here-after.

Leave it to tortured souls like Richard Dawkins or that Danish depressive Soren what’s-his-name to tease out the Big Issues or take their leaps into faith, or faithlessness. We have enough to be going on with getting through our days – right?  Not to mention tidying out the sock drawer.

So the next time you feel like saying something profound, or allying yourself to some Thomistic speculations on creation, or creationism, consider the words of Woody Allen -  always a go-to guy at times like this:

“Today I looked at a beautiful sunset and thought: ‘How insignificant I am.’ But I thought that yesterday too, and it rained.”
