How do atheists see Jesus' parables?

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.

That's the whole deal right there.  You gotta drink the koolaid, put on dem rose-colored glasses, pray really really hard, and turn off your brain.  GAWD wrote this for MEEEE!!!!!
Yep, I spent 40 years in that brainwashed haze and memorized the whole craptastic book.

Then you wake up one day reading a part of it, and the only sane reaction is "wow that's stupid".  And you read another part and the only sane reaction is "wow that's positively evil".  And it just snowballs from there.  So GC, keep those rose-colored glasses welded to your head.  Because reading the Bible creates more atheists than anything else.
