How do atheists see Jesus' parables?

[Chad32]

Yes. Despite Jesus talking to people that the pharisees didn't want to talk to, it seems this god doesn't care much to actually try to convert other people. It's either kneel, or die. No compromise. No understanding. Just do what he tells you to, or he'll make sure you suffer one way or another.

We do have lives and responsibilities. Most of us are very busy trying to survive in this world, and provide for our children and communities. If he wants our time, he'd better put some effort into it. Instead of having a "wedding" and telling people to come to him, how about feeding the poor, healing the sick, and making sure that all his followers have such stellar lives that one just has to wonder how they do it? Instead you have some christians who live horrible lives, and atheists who live outstanding lives, and prayer has no real effect on the world. A broken leg won't be healed by prayer. You still have to go to the hospital.
