Sungazer Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Not sure what board i should be putting these in but programming seems the most appropriate since programmers would appreciate them the most. So, onward ho! You know, many important theological questions are answered if we think of God as a Computer Programmer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Does God control everything that happens in my life? A: He could, if he used the debugger, but it's tedious to step through all those variables. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Why does God allow evil to happen? A: God thought he eliminated evil in one of the earlier versions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What causes God to intervene in earthly affairs? A: 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: How come the Age of Miracles Ended? A: That was the development phase of the project, now we are in the maintenance phase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Who is Satan? A: Satan is a MIS director who takes credit for more powers than he actually possesses, so people who aren't programmers are scared of him. God thinks of him as irritating but irrelevant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is the role of sinners? A: Sinners are the people who find new an imaginative ways to mess up the system when God has made it idiot-proof. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Where will I go after I die? A: Onto a DAT tape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Will I be reincarnated? A: 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Am I unique and special in the universe? A: There are over 10,000 major university and corporate sites running exact duplicates of you in the present release version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is the purpose of the universe? A: 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: If I pray to God, will he listen? A: You can waste his time telling him what to do, or you can just get off his back and let him program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is the one true religion? A: 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How can I protect myself from evil? A: Change your password every month and don't make it a name, a common word, or a date like your birthday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Some people claim they hear the voice of God. Is this true? A: They are much more likely to receive email. Second funny one... And yes i know these are old as time itself lol In the beginning there was the Computer. Loading Universe Kernel....

awesomegamer Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Probably should have been put in Comedy. I like the first part, the second portion is kinda repetitive and too obvious/predictable to be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yah, I've seen this before, it's nifty. Should be in the humor section, however. You don't get points for regurgitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoexer Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I like the first part, the second portion is kinda repetitive and too obvious/predictable to be funny Speak for your self i found the second part hilarious!

Frankie Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I wrote a short story similar to the 2nd part of ur post for a french assignment except where the world was an MMORPG where Jesus was played by God who was a hacker. It got me a 97% (3% was lost because I was supposed to identify my adverbs, adjectives, etc. but I didn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
