Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From Jack the Bodiless by Julan May (1991, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., New York) -- Teresa Remillard is explaining Christmas to Jack:

"God's most elegant way of involving himself with us would have to be a scandal to the stodgy-minded and a delight to minds that have a sense of humor and adventure. As his mind does."

God can laugh?

"Of course, dear, and feel sorrowful, too. A supreme being without those attributes wouldn't be supreme. Grim and joyless people try to pretend otherwise, but their arguments are unpersuasive."
