> Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the best programmer. This goes
> on for a few hours until they agree to hold a contest with God as the judge.
> They set themselves before the computers and begin. They type furiously for
> several hours, lines of code streaming up the screens. Seconds before the
> end of the competition, a bolt of lighting strikes taking out the
> electricity. Moments later the power is restored and God announces the
> contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is
> visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing! I lost it all when the power went
> out.
> "Very well then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better."
> Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in a vivid display, the
> voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is
> astonished.
> He stutters, "BUT how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is still
> intact! How did he do it?"
> After a long pause that seemed like an eternity, God chuckles and says,
> "Jesus Saves."
