How effing stupid are you.

You don't share your plans with the enemy.

The Founding Fathers didn't do that and neither did Jesus.

BTW, this is the reason that Jesus spoke in parable...so that the enemy wouldn't understand what He was saying.

And they are still confounded by it.

Sorry, but they most assuredly did.

They took a step-by-step process and tried to reason with the King and his men. At each step, the King refused to listen. While they did not tell the King all of their plans, they did communicate at each step of the way in a general sense.

They attempted to follow the legal process of addressing their problems/complaints to the King. When ALL of those attempts failed, only then did they declare Independence and from there war started.

It was a game of bluffing/blind arrogance on the part of the King, but, it should have been clear from the explicit/implicit communication between the colonists and the King, what each next step was going to be.

No, the reason Jesus did this was two-fold:

1. To help make what he was saying make more sense to those he was talking too.
2. His parables were meant to confound those wise in their own selves and hard of heart. They were meant to make sense to those of simple faith and an open heart.
