Does God have a sense of humor? Yes — Scripture confirms it, and pleasure/humor are good gifts not inherently sinful

Winger affirms God has a sense of humor citing Scripture: Psalm references to God laughing, and Jesus' comic hyperbole of a plank in the eye (Matthew 7). God also uses mockery — he ridicules idols that have eyes but cannot see. This points to objective humor existing, just as objective morality exists. Winger connects this to a broader point: pleasure is a God-given good, not inherently sinful. Greek philosophy (asceticism) wrongly influenced some Christians to treat bodily pleasure as evil. The biblical view from OT through NT is that pleasures of life are given by God to enjoy and give thanks for. However, pleasure can become sin when taken out of context, out of proportion, or directed at things that ought not be mocked (e.g., joking about the nature of God). Humor is not sin — perverted humor is.
