Religion In The Comics - 028



Here's an interesting tale. I guess parable is another word for lying. There is no way this ever happened. So what lesson can be learned from this lie?

yeah, yeah yeah, you get saved no matter when you accept Jeebus.
But it is obvious that the new NT God is still an unfair SOB.
And the asshole owner (God) will now have workers who will only work an hour a day. Why work more if you make the same.
The lesson, do whatever you want in life, steal, lie, fornucate, kill, just accept Jeebus before you are done.

"Always try to be last and make as much money as the poor sods who went first"?

Doesn't make sense.

By being meaningless gibberish, it can be used to illustrate any position you want.
