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?"
