And God said to St. Francis:
snipped

And now here is one for you:

IN THE BEGINNING God created the heavens and the
Earth. And the Earth was without form, and void, and
darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And Satan said, "It doesn't get any better than
this."
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was
light.
And God said,"Let the earth bring forth grass, the
herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit,"
and God saw that it was good.
And Satan said, "There goes the neighborhood."
And God said, "Let us make Man in our image, after
our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over the
.. . cattle, and over all
the Earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the Earth."
And so God created Man in his own image; male and
female created he them.
And God looked upon Man and Woman and saw that they
were lean and fit.
And God populated the earth with broccoli and
cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetables of
all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy
lives.
And Satan said, "I know how I can get back in this
game." And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's
brought forth the 99-cent double cheeseburger. And
Satan said to Man, "You want fries with that?"
And Man said, "Supersize them." And Man gained 5
pounds.
And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman
might keep her figure that man found so fair.
And Satan brought forth chocolate. And Woman gained
5 pounds.
And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad."
And Satan brought forth Ben and Jerry's. And Woman
gained 10 pounds.
And God said, "I have sent thee heart-healthy
vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them."
And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak so big
it needed its own platter. And Man gained 10 pounds and
his bad cholesterol went through the roof.
And God brought forth running shoes and Man resolved
to lose those extra pounds.
And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control
so Man would not have to toil to change channels between
ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained another 20 pounds.
And Satan brought forth the internet and computers
with cable modems, and woman gained another 20 pounds.
And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil."
And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally
low in fat and brimming with nutrition.
And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced
the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them.
And he created sour cream dip also.
And Man clutched his remote control and ate the
potato chips swaddled in cholesterol.
And Satan saw and said, "It is good." And Man went
into cardiac arrest.
And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.
And Satan created HMO's.
