The Prodigal Son
#18
RE: The Prodigal Son
I think part of the reason I find the younger son more sympathetic, is that it's kind of an analogy for any kid that strikes out on their own in life. Most young people don't give a damn about responsibility and such. It's something life has to teach you. But when you stumble and fall, it's nice to have family to life you back up. And hopefully the kid will be able to try again, and do better next time.

It's a relatable story to many.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
