Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering..

Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.'

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.

They faxed.

They e-mailed...

They e-mailed with attachments.

They downloaded....

They did spreadsheets!

They wrote reports..

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell...

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:

'It's gone! It's all GONE! I lost everything when the power went out!'

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.

Satan observed this and became irate.

'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?'

God just shrugged and said,

JESUS SAVES....
AMEN!

* stifles a laugh *

Well...

I have to say, that wasn't particularly funny.
God bless,
Crushmaster.

That one makes me smile....

That was so funny. It made me smile.

That was a groaner.

Personally I don't like those jokes that imply Satan and Jesus are equal balancing forces of good and evil under God....

Yep, something like that.
God bless,
Crushmaster.

Personally, I get a little annoyed with people who don't seem to like picturing God with a sense of humor.

It got a laugh out of me!
Did you make this up Luke?

Nope, just passing it along.

*slams fist on desk* Holy Worlds needs a joke section!

YES!

I agree. We should take it up with he of the big red name.

Well... it made me smile

I got that through an email a couple years ago! I still have it because it's so great!

Funny, funny,funny.

Though one could argue the theological implications.

YES! We need a joke section!

Oh, I'm pretty sure God has a sense of humor...check out this bird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_footed_boobie - It's just that so many of those jokes are very messed up theologically... I can think right now of two other jokes that involve God...one of them I approve of, the other I don't... *shrugs* it depends on the theology of it.

I understand, but it is just a joke.

Exactly. I think it's much less important than arguing the theological implications of...say...Calvinism.

Yes, I know, which is why I laughed.

I don't agree with the theology of it- but I did laugh hard.

Elanhil, I think the Blue Footed Boobie looks hilarious. Thanks for posting it.

Wow, that was funny.

lol...Yes, I love that bird....!

Okay, guys, please be respectful of Elanhil's opinion. Those of you who find this fun and harmless, are entitled to that, and those who have found it disturbing are also entitled to that.

Yes. I agree completely, Airianna.

I am a very firm believer that God has a sense of humour. (Why else would we have one?) However I'm with Elanhil on the theological implications of this one.
