How do atheists see Jesus' parables?

[Chad32]

No you do not understand and it's quite clear you don't. Funny how atheist who have no interest in the Bible believe they can give studied responses to it, I mean really why would you expect Christians especially the ones who come and stay here to take you seriously. Like Huggy said the one giving the wedding feast supplies the garments, do you know how he knows this? Because that is the way things were in those days the parable makes perfect sense to the ones god has enlightened, dark minds have trouble with lit subjects.


Sure we know why he was picking up sticks on the Sabbath, he had all 6 previous days to do so and so he ignored God's command. He knew what the consequences would be for a blatant act against God. As Jesus told the Pharisees, the Sabbath was made for man, man wasn't made for the Sabbath. God gave it as a day of rest from a week of toil and in that rest man was to spend his time with God not himself. By the way I doubt the man had a yard to clean up, most didn't, wasn't a luxury they could afford.


 Not when one studies the whole Bible with the attitude to learn. The standard is to use the Bible to understand who God is and build a relationship with Him.

I just go by what the stories said, man. I missed the part where it says the king provides the garments, and if he did, why didn't he just give the odd man out a garment after he got there? Because not all are chosen, and apparently he wasn't wanted. And no, we don't know what the guy picking up sticks was doing the rest of the week, or why he was picking up sticks. He was apparently killed because he wasn't spending every hour of that day sitting on his ass, talking to god. By the way, how did anyone notice the guy in the first place, unless they were running around doing stuff too, instead of laying in bed at home, talking to god? Because apparently "no work on the sabbath" means you're not allowed to do anything that day. Not even something as trivial as picking up sticks. This is how petty your god is.
