In the end, the joking is just vain. And based on the bible, it is another way God can judge SwissGambit if he has not put faith in Christ for salvation.
Do you believe SwissGambit's April Fool's joke was a "sin"?
SwissGambit,

And once you do, you'll be dismayed that it took you so long. Real life is amazingly refreshing, should you care to experience it.

What is so great about this human experience? Gaining the "whole world" is not enough when compared to losing my own soul. This human experience is a humanly hurtful way to exist. Why would any human being want to settle for this human life? You think that your life is so good? How? Your life has nothing great! And your life will end.
I would rather dispense with this human life and be given a greater existence. I don't want the human experience to be all I am given for a temporary pleasant life, even though my life isn't pleasant to start with. I want more for myself. Why don't you want more for yourself?

Matthew 4: 8 - 11
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Matthew 16: 26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

I guess that it was, because it certainly wasn't righteousness. And I sin regularly myself. That is why I need Christ according to the bible.
Ooooo you dirty, dirty bastard. What have you been up to then?
"That is why I need Christ according to the bible"
Sin, repent, repeat .... Sin, repent, repeat .... Sin, repent, repeat. Why not just get some professional help?

I would say that not meeting God's standard of righteousness is sin. It isn't me who determines what sin is, it is God. The bible tells us plainly that we are sinners and that we need Christ's salvation. When a joke or anything else falls short of God righteousness, then it is sin.

Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3: 9, 10
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Can you demonstrate where or how SwissGambit's April Fool's joke "falls short of God righteousness"?

Whatever God would call it. If you want to know more about God's standard of righteousness, read the bible. The joke was against God and Christ. SwissGambit is, at least, declaring unbelief, and maybe mocking God if front of others too.
King James Version

Galatians 6: 7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Mark 10: 34
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
I John 5: 10
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
LemonJello,
Will you respond please?. . .
Who has convinced you that you are righteous and holy and ready for anyone to judge you, even God, to determine whether you deserve anything but what unsaved sinners deserve according to God of the bible.
Where did you get your holiness and righteousness? Where did you get your sinlessness?

You can mock those that believe in that imaginary someone/something.
