Where do we start, here?
Let's try the start. "A certain man" Well done. Let's expand that metaphor more fully... A certain man, who you had to invent because, in reality, there is no such person. ..... Remind me. What are you trying to prove with this?
Anyway, this non-existent, certain man sent his son incognito to the shop floor. Hmmm. No. You've lost me, here. Incognito? Since when was Jesus incognito? This flaw is pretty fundamental, don't you think. It doesn't work, at all. And you've completely missed out the bit about the shop stewards lynching the guy and the "certain man", who you had to invent because, in reality, there is no such person, letting them kill his son AND let him take the blame for it all.
If you think that proves anything, you're on your own, son.

Yes I do want evidence of god.
Also evidence of intelligence. An omnipotent god, who sees even a sparrow fall, would be well aware of who the shirkers, frauds and deceivers are.
Have you really thought how vacuous this little fable is?
If you have nothing to say, say nothing.

This appears to be an Analogy of a first century Judaic Allegorical text.
If this passes for evidence then I am the Queen of Sheba .

Strikes me that if this is somehow 'evidence' of god then he comes across as a weak, indecisive manager. Mmmmmmmm on second thoughts perhaps this is a good parable of the weakness of the argument for religion.

how is this evidence. Do you know the difference between evidence and a story. this must be why you believe in god. The bible is full of stories not evidence.
I bet you sat up all night thinking of that story.
you better try harder next time that really was pathetic

Not a good metaphor...it's more like a certain man sent his kid who reported all the people who kissed his butt for those six months, but ignored all the good, hard workers because they refused to.

I though you theists believed that your god could hear your thoughts? Ya' know, kinda' like Santa Claus (he knows when you've been bad or good).
So, the whole sending of the son incognito thing is a little weak.

Well I don't know about being a good worker. I don't know how you can actually tell if what you do is good. All we can do is our best. As for evidence I have had enough for me.

What a load of twaddle. Is this the best you can offer as proof of a god? A silly story like this is no proof, come back hen god writes his name in fire in the sky
