Twilight zone

 rough draft:
A mean king with few friends was about to have a wedding, and wanted his friends to attend.

The friends were too busy.

So the king, slightly pissed off anyway, decided to invite (*gasp*) anyone anywhere.

They pissed off the king, so now they're Murderers!!
Send the Guard!
Burn the city!!

This was great, until the guests actually showed up, for the food.

One of the guests was (*gasp*) underdressed?
Yeah, underdressed.
After yelling at the poor guy he had his guards mistreat him and eject him from the party.

Second one (That I can remember)

A guy 

has to go on a long business trip, and thinks maybe that idleness is really bad for the servants.
So he gives them money, telling them to use it wisely (or words to that effect.)

One of the guys thinks that it's very easy to Lose money in the real world, what with thieves and greedy confidence-men everywhere, so he stores his portion away carefully, confident his boss will be proud of him when he gets back.

Boy, is he wrong. I can't remember, does he join the underdressed guy on the street?

I knew you were a greedy SOB, taking stuff from people, so I was prudent, I don't want to be on your bad side. I hid the money, here it is!
"You [etc ("dumbhead")]!! I'm greedy, taking what I can [you should have followed my example!]

Dress for success.
Greed is good, greed works.
Those that got shall get, those that's not shall lose (Be republican ftw)

"reaping where you have not sown"
is a thorny phrase that I don't really want to explain; even google thinks it could be positive or negative.

reading the bible has resulted in (insert number here) religions, all reading from the same book 

(and a concordance/ commentary)

(and a supplement)

(and lectures)

Catholic "epistles" are pretty unreadable most days.....
Only catholic gospels make any sense.
But then I've never been good at math. Wiki has an unreadable piece, but Google claims to know of 200
separate groups within the christian religion in the US.
Anyway....I hate parables. 
It's math class all over again.

I'll give you an idea (maybe not)
An assistant-preacher would occasionally sermonize that he was a "Hard man"
referencing (maybe?) the above parable.
Reading stuff into the bible is a favorite pastime of many religions.
"It Says yada, 
"It means (long lecture)"
And that goes for dinosaurs,
Space,
Money.

I'm about to paste an AI of the meaning "hard man" which is biased as hell but informative.

"Am I an A-hole? No, it's You!!"

Once a guy gets powerful enough to lord it over you, by hook or crook,
Suddenly YOU are in the wrong, and YOUR perspective is wrong (and must change)

but that's, um, situational. Not all dictators are "hard men" 
Fucket, be a farmer / self-employed, geez

This rough-draft had a little fork in it about churches who survive on the strength of their preacher, and when that preacher dies, the church dissolves (and another rises elsewhere.)
But that has nothing to do with the bible, or this entry which, (I'm thinking) should be erased or edited.
(But the phrase "he is over here, he is over there" (matt 24:23) comes to mind)
