→Drowning Man, redux: new section
:Several of Jesus's parables identify human weakness to prove a different point, such as His parable about the unfair judge and also the one about the unscrupulous servant. Jesus isn't praising the failure.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:27, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

I think the parable as written actually supports liberals who want a welfare state. Much as it is worthless to throw a line and make a distressed swimmer swim 50 yards (if they were able to swim such a distance, they would not be distressed), liberals would similarly find it worthless to let a homeless person or someone in poverty make a living without any government support. There is a version found at [[Conservative humor]], which I think would be a good place for self-deprecating jokes like the version of the drowning man found there.
