Jesus also taught using short little parables. Since Platt has repeatedly
proclaimed that until the day the MOQ is universally accepted, Judeo-Christian
values should guide the structure of our society, and since he's keen on
promoting a woman who adheres to fundamental christianity to our white house,
here's an allegory in that vein (admittedly, it lacks the fear rhetoric of
"redistribution of wealth", or evil leftist professors, but I think it captures
that "Judeo-Christian ethic" that the enemies of nihilism and the worshippers
of wealth pander to).

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will
sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before
him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates
the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on
his left.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my
Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation
of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty
and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I
needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in
prison and you came to visit me.'

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed
you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger
and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick
or in prison and go to visit you?'

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry
and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,
I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not
clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a
stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the
least of these, you did not do for me.'

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal
life."

Matthew 25:31-46
