Was the first responder actually the only one who understood that this tale was a parable? The "bum" is a real character, and I have fed and clothed him MANY times. Unlike christians, I would never make someone a promise of paradise that was contingent upon blind adherence to fantastic and wicked requirements. I posited this tale to mirror the christian model of "worship or die". Unlike the christian god, I am not that cruel.
I felt obliged to respond to multiple 'takes'. Unfortunately, clarifying my status as devil's advocate seemed tedious at the moment. That, and I'm lazy(and drunk...is this even legible?). But you're obviously a bum kicking bastard, so hey! I still feel good about myself. :p
