God as programmer

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.
