You forgot to include all the people that hear the advertising for the banquet, and go around telling every one that will listen that it is all nonsense; no one rented the hall, no one is offering a banquet, and all the evidence for the reality of the event is a scam; a myth invented be the frightened hungry people of the city...

Every story has a point. Some have several, but I find those harder to follow.

And harder to write.

You are welcome to write the story of those people. No sarcasm implied.

Shalom.

What about those people who go around telling everyone that there is no 'rich man' and the banquet just 'evolved' from the pieces of food that have been lying around.

This is more realistic than the original. As an atheist, I don't sit around complaining that God is mean. God is even nicer than Santa Claus, but in my opinion, equally nonexistent. If heaven existed, I wouldn't complain about the door being inconvenient. But I see no evidence for the existence of heaven or the banquet. By the way, you just made up the story of the banquet, to help you understand the world better; just like people probably made up heaven.

L, TOWM's revision is more coherent, but you have to add that, just for curiousity, the disbelievers went to the banquet site, but didn't see any banquet. Yet others who believed in the banquet kept disappearing thinking that they were going to the banquet. But they never returned and no one really knew (except by faith) that the banquet ever happened.
