In the Beginning… God Created Code

Every so often I try to add in a little quote or quip posted in sidenotes.  Usually a short piece that I get out of my mother-in-laws newspaper clippings she gave me.  Funny how different people collect different things, papers, notes, and so on, most all of these I have never seem before and are going through them one at a time every so often.

Today I came across one called In the Beginning and it actually had a note at the bottom for its source and I was able to located it.   This was something she printed off her computer in 2005, and of course it is still active on the Internet today, so I am not going to post but a blurb of it here, but it is well work a read if you want to head over Bag-o-Laughs’ post called In the Beginning.

I love humor websites about our faith, Christians, God, and mix computer related stuff in there and it’s super (another good one is John over at Stuff Christians Like).  So here is the first part of In the Beginning:

In the beginning there was the computer. And God said

%Let there be light!

#Enter user id.

%God

#Enter password.

%Omniscient

#Password incorrect. Try again.

%Omnipotent

#Password incorrect. Try again.

%Technocrat

#And God logged on at 12:01:00 AM, Sunday, March 1.

%Let there be light!

#Unrecognizable command. Try again.

%Create light

#Done

%Run heaven and earth

#And God created Day and Night. And God saw there were 0 errors.

#And God logged off at 12:02:00 AM, Sunday, March 1.

If you are any bit of the computer person, jump over and read the rest of it from the source, and if the above makes no sense to you at all then you are too young to remember when IBM ran the world and everything was written out in commands (I am on the fringe of that time period I think).ย  So what are some of your favorite God humor sites?ย  Post a few below so we can check them out.
