Some 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 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: How come the Age of
Miracles Ended?
A: That was the development phase of the project, now we are
in the maintenance phase.
Q: Will there be another Universe after the Big
Bang?
A: A lot of people are drawing things on the white board, but
personally, God doubts that it will ever be implemented.
Q: Who is Satan?
A: Satan is an 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: Is God angry that we
crucified him?
A: Let's just say he's not going to any more meetings if he
can help it, because that last one with the twelve managers
and the food turned out to be murder.
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.
Q: Some people say God is Love.
A: That is not a question. Please restate your query in the
form of a question.
