Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who in the better programmer. This
goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with
God as the judge.
They set themselves before their computers and began.
They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours
straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightening
strikes, taking out the electricity.
Moments later, the power is
restored, and God announces that the contest is over.
He asks Satan to
show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have
nothing. I lost it all when the power went out."
"Very well, then, " says
God, "Let us see if Jesus fared any better."
Jesus enters a command, and
the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour
forth from the speakers.
Satan is astonished. He stutters, "B-b-but
how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact! How did he do it?"
God chuckles, "What else did you think all those signs outside all those
churches meant when they said 'Jesus Saves All'? "
