A Parable ( Written by Me)

A tisket, a tasket,
The Scarecrow's out his casket.
The Scarecrow's out his casket.
Once upon a time, there was a Man who was very happy.
He had a garden, a forest, and a wonderful Family whom he loved very much.
For since he could remember, life was perfect. The Man and his family were provided for. No one had to work or worry. And for a time, it was good.
One day, the Man went to harvest his crops from the garden and a Stranger approached him. The Stranger told the Man that the Benefactor was not pleased.
"Why?" asked the Man, and the Stranger replied, "You do not give enough to the Rest."
The Stranger left and the Man thought on it.
The next day, the Man went to the Rest with his crops. He gave them to the Rest and looked proudly at them as they walked to their homes with his food.
The Man returned home to a hungry Family and he apologized, "The Benefactor forgives for our Sacrifice."
The Man and his Family slept on empty stomachs.
So the Man continued to give his crops to the Rest and his Family hungered.
But the Benefactor seemed pleased.
The next week, the Stranger returned to the barren garden and told the Man that the Benefactor was not pleased. Shocked, the Man asked again, "Why?"
And the Stranger replied, "You have not given enough to the Rest."
Again, the Stranger left and the Man thought on it.
The next day, the Man went to the Rest with his firewood.
He gave them to the Rest and looked proudly as they walked to their homes with his warmth.
The Man returned home to a cold Family and again, he apologized, "The Benefactor forgives for our sacrifice."
The Man and his Family slept in the cold darkness.
So the Man continued to give his firewood to the Rest and his Family shivered.
But the Benefactor seemed pleased.
The next week, the Stranger returned to the garden and told the man that the Benefactor was not pleased. Shocked, the man said " But I have given my food and warmth!"
Again, the Stranger replied, "You have not given enough to the rest."
And again, the Stranger left and the Man thought on it worriedly.
The next day, the Man went to the Rest with his Deed. He gave it to the Rest and with weary, hungry eyes, watched them walk to his home.
His Family did not come to him, and the Man no longer had a home. The Man lay in the dark; alone, frightened, cold and hungry. As he fell asleep in the dirt, the Man reassured himself, "The Benefactor forgives for our Sacrifice."
The next day, the Stranger came across the Man and he said,
"The Benefactor is not pleased. You do not give enough to the Rest."
To the readers: I want to see what you all see in this story, what the message was really about.

I think it's the German and Irish in me spitting it out.
We like riddle speak.
Wait, that's not what you said...
Id say like... "You creatures."
no no.... "You plants."
Id call you plants.
Its about the church.
In all, christianity is neither bad nor good, people make the choice to make it bad or good.
This parable is about the people who abuse the ideal of christianity.
Being a variant of demonology I have humbled myself into a cozy corner of spirituality and watch others like a buzzard would, ready to expose all flaws presented by the people while blissfully hiding my own beliefs.
And in living in the "Bible Belt" I have taken note that far too many people are brainwashed or lead into uter insanity by corrupt church beliefs or they have simply just gone insane and twisted it themselves.
It's very interesting to watch and gauge the people. Very fun too ^^
