I don't know if you'll find this funny at all, but I always say "God is a funny guy"!
While my mom was in the hospital, I had her mechanic come over and disconnect the battery cables to her car (she was still driving occasionally, but had been getting lost a lot-it was WAY past time that she stop). Before she went to the hospital, she had her mechanic come over (because her car had a dead battery). She was unable to process the hospital, or anything else when she arrived home, and I felt it was "safer" for her NOT to drive. It was the FIRST time in my life, that I had EVER done something behind my mom's back, and the guilt was horrible. Three days after she got home, I was on my way over to her house to take her dinner to her, and I saw her car parked outside of the house (usually kept in the garage). My response was "oh sh*t" (kind of the same thing that I felt when she caught me smoking when I was a teenager. As I walked up the stairs to enter her home, I heard people talking (she NEVER lets ANYONE into her home). My response was "Whiskey Foxtrot Tango". As I entered her kitchen, there were two neighbors eating dinner with her (which she purchased for them), because these people had fixed her car for her! The irony here, is that these people are the SAME ones she'd been screaming and yelling at for over a year for doing anything and everything that she didn't like in their own yard! My response was "Alrighty then". So after a week of covert planning, and feeling terrible about what I had done, it took my Alzheimer, Dementia'd, Schizophrenic, and Bi-Polar mom all of about 2 hours to undo what I had strategically planned and implemented! My responses "Oh crap, Whiskey Foxtrot Tango, and Alrighty then" took about 5 minutes! God is a funny guy!~

There are several things wrong with this world. 1. Too much sin. 2. Too much stupidity. 3. Too much dime store theology. 4. Too many religious people living in a fantasy world. What I'm tired of are simplistic and yet spiritually sounding pat answers for painful situations that people just arn't always open to being authentic about. My SIL, who is a uterine cancer survivor since 2001, and I joke about various hymns that just don't ring true anymore. Like the verse from a hymn "Every Day with Jesus is better than the day before" As Debra has commented all to often the day before was a long time ago. The other things I'm fed up with is the classic testimony which seems almost expected that "well my life was going to hell, but then I met Jesus and now I"m successful, healthier, ect." as if becoming a Christian is a means to the American dream. I'm often glad for people to say they are praying for me, but some people are so judgmental that I'd rather they not pray for me at all. I'm not sure if this is even close to your statement, but it's my response.
