Is God against Fun?

I tend to think that God looks upon us like parents look upon their children. The scripture says that God delights to give good gifts to his children. I imagine it’s like ourselves when we’ve bought something special for someone and can’t wait until they open it. We have much joy in anticipating the other’s joy and we hope they like the gift we bought. I think God is the same way. He has good things stored up for us and it is his delight to give us good gifts.

Enjoyment in life is one of his gifts. I think it makes God happy to see us having good innocent fun. As long as we don’t forget him in the process and we remember to thank him for the joy in our lives.

The Ayatollah sez, “NO”
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini

I believe God has a sense of humor, however
 
We can be silly and joyful to such a huge degree without ever coming close to sinning. Let’s do so !
