If God was a Programmer...

[BadBoy]

Did God really create the world in seven days?

Yes, He did it in six days and nights while living on cola and candy bars. On the seventh day he went home and found out his girlfriend had left him.

 

What causes God to intervene in earthly affairs?

If a critical error occurs, the system pages him automatically and he logs on from home to try to bring it up. Otherwise, things can wait until tomorrow.

 

How come the Age of Miracles ended?

That was the development phase of the project. Now we're in the maintenance phase.

 

Who is Satan?

Satan is an MIS director who takes credit for more powers than he actually possesses, so non programmers become scared of him. God thinks he's irritating but irrelevant.

 

Why does God allow evil to happen?

God thought he eliminated evil in one of the earlier versions.

 

How can I protect myself from evil?

Change your password every month and don't make it a name, a common word, or a date like your birthday.

 

If I pray to God, will he listen?

You can waste his time telling him what to do, or you can just get off his back and let him program.

 

Some people claim they hear the voice of God. Is this true?

They are much more likely to receive email.

 

Does God control everything that happens in my life?

He could, if he used the debugger, but it's tedious to step through all those variables.

 

Does God know everything?

He likes to think so, but he is often amazed to find out what goes on in the overnight job.

 

Will there be another Universe after the Big Bang?

A lot of people are drawing things on the white board, but personally, God doubts that it will ever be implemented.

 

What is the role of sinners?

Sinners are the people who find new an imaginative ways to mess up the system when God has made it idiot-proof.

 

Where will I go after I die?

Onto a DAT tape.

 

Will I be reincarnated?

Not unless there is a special need to recreate you. And searching those tar files is a major hassle, so if there is a request for you, God will just say that the tape has been lost.

 

Am I unique and special in the universe?

There are over 10,000 major university and corporate sites running exact duplicates of you in the present release version.

 

What is the purpose of the universe?

God created it because he values elegance and simplicity, but then the users and managers demanded he tack all this senseless stuff onto it and now everything is more complicated and expensive than ever.

 

What is the one true religion?

All systems have their advantages and disadvantages, so just pick the one that best suits your needs and don't let anyone put you down.

 

Some people say God is Love.

That is not a question. Please restate your query in the form of a question.
