Greetings Saints in Jesus Name!

I received this from a secular mailing list that is business oriented.
That rarely has humor submitted to it.  Just so happens, this piece of
humor, not theologically correct, is still funny to read if we all can
think about God as a Computer Programmer.  

I hope it's worth a few nyuk, nyuk's.....

Bro. Tyler

   step through all those variables.

               --------------------------------------------

Q: Why does God allow evil to happen?
A: God thought he eliminated evil in one of the earlier revs. 

               --------------------------------------------

Q: Does God know everything?
A: He likes to think so, but he is often amazed to find out 
   what goes on in the overnite job.

               --------------------------------------------

Q: What causes God to intervene in earthly affairs? 
A: If an 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.

               --------------------------------------------

Q: Did God really create the world in seven days? 
A: 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.

               --------------------------------------------

Q: Who is Satan?
A: Satan is an MIS director who takes credit for more powers than he

               --------------------------------------------
