Luke 19:23-27
Why didn’t you put my money in the bank? On my return, I could have had the money together with interest.”Then he said to some other servants standing there, “Take the money away from him and give it to the servant who earned ten times as much.”
But they said, “Sir, he already has ten times as much!”
The king replied, “Those who have something will be given more. But everything will be taken away from those who don’t have anything. Now bring me the enemies who didn’t want me to be their king. Kill them while I watch!”
Discuss.
People never change. Only the time and place change.
I ‘m just glad we don’t still have slavery, and that women can be teachers. Baby steps.
The only things on this planet worth multiplying are dividends and rabbits. We need more of both! The hell with this king business, though. I don’t need no frikken king.
Today’s Alternative Bible Story
So, when the Ark landed, and Noah disembarked the animals, the two cats were followed by six kittens. Eyeing the kittens, Noah exclaimed, “What’s this?” The tomcat laughed and said, “Ha ha, and all that time you thought we were fighting!”
I have always wondered what about the other 7 servants. Perhaps they were talented bureaucrats who really ran things very well for ummm the king…well let him think that. Then just what did he leave these 10 servants…it certainly was not pounds, or was it mica or a talent. There is a huge mica and talent. Bankers in those days also tended to charge for making a deposit and keeping your money safe. Though if you are talking talents then of course you are a special depositor.
Standing alone the story is problematic, yet it does describe many a nobleman of that time, before and after.
The difference is of course presumable Christ himself is the nobleman. He’s rather an ass. Taking what he did not sow. If you don’t support me to the sword.
Guess those 7 servants (bureaucrats)_ knew what they were doing. Hurray for the brave, resourceful bureaucrat as they are the winners in the parable. Yep got each of themselves 22 pounds of silver and the master is such a fool.
@3 Why are dividends and rabbits the most important thing on this planet that s in the gravity hole of a small to mediums sized sun, circling the sun at 60,000 miles an hour with a bunch of meat bags on it?
And the dominant life form is still one celled bacteria, viruses, ect. Pretty amazing things those simple lifeforms. Lie around in the sun, or devour those lazy suckers. Create multicellular critters to help you get around on, perhaps create a living computer, and then convince these critters called human beings there is a god, what a wonderful joke. Then tell the rabbits they are special (actually wonderful if you add some basil and butter, and get the humans to cook the sucker, what a feast for a bacteria.)
I really can’t fathom what all the hand wringing over Trump is all about.
To tell you the plain truth, as an elitist, over educated, liberal snob and NPR listener, I’ve always really hated toothless, sister-fucking, gun-clutching Whiskey Tangos. If my lofty principles would have allowed it, my pals and I would probably cut off all tax transfers to to these opiate addicted Midwestern fat farms and ship them all off somewhere dry to have their limbs blown off. Now the idiots have gone and elected somebody who is guaranteed to do our dirty work for us.
I could not be happier. My only worry is that he won’t do a thorough enough job. Let’s be honest. Wall Street banks were going to get whatever the fuck they wanted either way. And certainly none of my friends or family have much to worry about personally when it comes to Social Security or Medicare. I’m kinda stoked for the next four years. Trump is a liberal blessing. At the rate he’s going, he should be just about able to kill off his margin of support in four years and clear the decks. He just needs encouragement.
Is this Two Corinthians.
‘Two Corinthians, right? Two Corinthians 3:17, that’s the whole ballgame …’
@6 “Then tell the rabbits they are special (actually wonderful if you add some basil and butter, and get the humans to cook the sucker, what a feast for a bacteria.)”
We’re willing to accept that some casualties are inevitable given cars, hunters, peregrine falcons, etc. It’s not much of a problem. We can always make more rabbits.
@7 If we get lucky maybe he’ll finish off homo sapiens. Then rabbits will have a field day running this place.
@10 Won’t be rabbits filling the niche, at least not as they are now. Could be they would evolve, I think though it would be more likely to be badgers replacing humans. Still low odds, could be gorillas.
Rabbits are the preferred prey animal of many of North America’s original predators species. All of them say hey thanks for the rabbits, before they go off to the Happy Hunting grounds or wherever they would go as this green and blue ball is broken up for that intergalactic express way.
Yet not one liberal on here has stated that Jesus the son of God is a jerk and an intolerant asshole. He is ok with NAZIS and whatever Putin is doing in Aleppo. He is ok with whatever Trump does to Hispanics who don’t support him or vote for him. He is saying Trump should take them out and kill them or enslave them. So much for the ideas that are at the base of liberalism and supposedly of importance to you people. Particularly that former Gorilla tea partyer who is Little Gingers. Trump can do what he wants with you, hope it involves KY and knee pads, if not Christ says go for it Trump.
I say “go for it Trump”!
“Coastal Elitist Liberals” don’t depend on Social Security and Medicare. We don’t volunteer to fight for Rex Tillerson’s next billion dollar oil lease. We dont live in squalid trailers down wind of unregulated smokestacks. We don’t staff our family businesses with illegal aliens. We don’t give our life savings away for three day airport strike-it-rich seminars. We don’t buy groceries with payday loans. We don’t cook meth in rusty RVs. We don’t shop at Wal-Mart, much less work there. And as neo-cons have been eager to point out all year, we don’t give a fuck about the people who do.
Donald Trump is a liberal’s wet dream. He’s gonna spend four years fucking over people we hate.
If I had a military aged son, about now I’d be getting together his documentation and passports. Because these jokers are war mongers and incompetent fools and a lot of people are going to die so they can make a killing in the military/industrial complex.
@14,
I wouldn’t worry about the draft.
Trump’s own sons are in violation of Selective Service requirements. . As are most sons of members of Congress. It’s a “professional” military nowadays. And that pretty much means only Trump voters have to die in this next cluster fuck. Which is why, as a good Elitist Liberal, I just can’t stop wailing about the “genocide” in Aleppo. Such a tragedy ;-)
