The parable of the rich fool is told only in the Gospel of Luke, at Luke 12:16-21
The rich fool failed to recognize that his wealth was infinite compared with the little time he had left in this world. Rather than hoard is wealth further with no gain to himself, he should have used it in his final moments to help others and thereby gain favor with God.
Like most of the biblical parables, this one illustrates both a logical and a moral flaw in the atheistic mindset.
This is the only parable of Jesus in which God appears directly in it.
