I would say that is more philosophy than humor.  Good philosophy.

Subject:  Are you there?

A little boy, who was very much afraid of the dark, was told by hismother to 
go out to the back porch and bring her the broom.

The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out 
there.  It's dark."

The mother smiled reassuringly at her son.  "You don't have to be afraid of 
the dark," she explained.  "Jesus is out there.  He'll look after you and 
protect you."

The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "are you sure he's 
out there?"

"Yes, I'm sure.  He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when 
you need him", she replied.

The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back 
door and cracked it a little.  Peering out into the darkness, he called 
"Jesus, If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?"
