The best silly religious joke in quite a while

[fpb]

From Ruth Gledhill's blog:

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going 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!"

The alternate ending being:"Jesus always saves; the rest of us have to do it manually."

I think the more laconic an ending, the better. Besides, it is a good reminder for those of us who keep losing work because they don't bother to do it every time - and yes, that means me.

Then I would add an extra precaution: Trust in Jesus, but tie up your camel. (I.e., get a UPS, and your screen won't go dark at all when the lights go out. My computing life has been a rather less stressful place since I got mine.)

shouldn't it be "Jesus Saves, everyone else takes full damage" ? :)

Oh, not fair. I had just taken a sip of water at the end of the paragraph. Now I need a towel.
