A young boy was walking down a small path with a sack on his back. The sack seemed to have been fluttering and moving quite a bit. As the boy walked on he came across a very poor looking man with tattered clothing. The old man said. "sonny, what do you have in that sack?" The boy looked at him and replied. "Sparrows." The old man nodded and said "what are you going to do with those sparrows?" "I'm going to torture them, pluck their feathers, and then feed them to my cat.," the young boy replied. "What will you take for them?" The man asked, not wanting to see this happen. "Well sir, they'll cost you two dollars."
The old poor man reached into his pocket, and pulled out the only two dollers he had. They were tattered and torn, and a bit worn out. He handed them to the young boy.
The boy gave the man the sack of bird and walked off with his newly collected two dollars. The man opened the sack, and the birds flew out into freedom.

Now check this out.
Satan walked quietly down a path with a grin on his face. Over his shoulder was a sack that'd been moving and let out quite a few yelps.
God saw satan and approached him and asked. "satan, what is in your sack?"
"Humanity." the mischievous smirk not fading
"oh?, and waht do you plan to do with humanity?" God asked.
"I'm going to torture them, lead them into temptation, push their self esteem down, and make them proud and evil."
"What will you take for them?" GOd asked with a hopeful expression
"Well God, it'll cost you your ONLY son."
And descended from heaven came the young baby Jesus.
Jesus died on the cross.
and humanity flooded from satan's sack into freedom.

What do you think?

I luv that story. I used to have a very similar thing in my profile. It wasnt the exact wording though. I'm soooo glad guilds are back up.
