They could have been aged adults and the father was an old despot. Yes, and that's yet another one to be filed under THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER. Just like Arlon's op.

Then why did you involve yourself with it? To draw it to his attention. Hypotheticals seem to be the new intellectual norm on here these days, as though something deep and meaningful is going to come out of it, especially when one gets a cabal of theist dunderheads attempting to prove something about their deluded beliefs.

The work in the vineyard got done by the other son.

Teenagers or young adults, probably. They could have been aged adults and the father was an old despot. Your point....?

He does not care, witness my conversation with him in the Christ is Lord thread. If you cant prove it exists it is apparently ludicrous to argue about it, and you are entitled if you do.

It is one of Christ's Parables, & this is a religion forum, so why not post it, if he wants to discuss it?
