> D. What is your overiding intent here to posting what you say is a joke?
It is actually more of a humorous parable meant to be a teaching tool, the lesson of which is open to interpretation. I find it to be very relevant to the important question that was asked by meAgain. My intent was to present an allegory that provokes the type of thought that can produce insight. This particular parable is used quite often in religious contexts. One can accept or reject the portrayal. I don't think it is meant to be so much dogmatic as it is suggestive.
