Introduction
One of the great parables
The Parable of parables
The defining parable by which Justifies His uses of parables as a teaching method, a method, it seems many in the crowd struggled to follow.

The Equals Sign
If there is a bumper sticker for our age, it is the equals sign.
We have all seen them.
Simple Message: All men and women are treated equally here.
We do not discriminate.
All are welcome here.
We don’t recognize outsiders.
Sounds generous, patient, and above all tolerant.
Obvious contrast to the ancien regime in which a Christian, conservative majority— very much did brand and exclude heretics and freaks.
Of course these promises are shallow, clever slight of hand.
You will only be tolerated if you acknowledge the new regime, if you commit to seeing the world the way they do, if you follow their rules.
If you disagree, you will be branded a heretic, an intolerant bigot, and you will be hounded from the public square.
The reason for this, I trust is easy to see: no one is really willing to tolerate everything.
If you you believe in goodness, you will never be willing to tolerate those who stand for and promote evil.
So in our day when people define goodness in terms of free, untrammeled sexual self-expression, they simply will not tolerate any who want build fences, where they demand land, lots of land and the starry sky above.
