Willys cynical thought for the day;
If money is, really, the root of all evil, why do preacher's want it so freaking badly?
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all of the bickering.
Finally God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job."
So down Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They did spreadsheets.
They wrote reports.
They sent faxes.
They sent e-mail.
They sent out e-mail with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did some genealogy reports.
They made cards.
They did every known job.
But ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the electricity went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.
Jesus just sighed.
The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restarted his computer.
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.
Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait! He cheated, how did he do it?"
God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves."

Ya, it's funny.
Most preachers I know are pretty poor. They ask for money for the church they preach in. They get paid a fixed salary that is pretty low, at least the churches I go to. TV preachers may ask for money a lot and get a lot, like Jim Bakker. But then again, those preachers are clearly frauds.

First, I'd like to just clear up one thing: The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. (1 Timothy 6:10.)
Other than that, the joke's good!

That was funny, why is it that some people think, God or Jesus do not have a sense of humor? I think one of the greatest gifts man received for the creator was the gift of laughter.... Thank you for the blessing today!

Hey...loved the joke. Money isn't the root of all evil, it's the LOVE of money that's the root of all evil. I've got a ten dollar bill in my wallet that hasn't had a dirty thought all day.

It's a cute joke, really. And surprisingly, a clean one! I don't see anyone getting upset over it, but who knows? Some folks can get upset over a free lunch, just because shrimp alfredo wasn't on the menu.

That's kind of an old joke. Also, the Bible says the LOVE of money is the root of all evil... not the money itself.
