I'm reminded about a parable about a poor widow contributing two tiny
coins, a trivial amount, but “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put
more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their
wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to
live on.”

So she starved? WTF? Are you really OK with that?

Good point: WTF!

I'll bet you think the guy who told that tale should have been

Good grief, Krygowski, you have no idea who made that story up.

Could be, but there's condiderable doubt.

An early church tradition, deriving from Papias of Hierapolis
(c.60–c.130 AD),[6] regards the Gospel as based on the preaching of
Saint Peter, and written down by John Mark, who is named in the Acts
of the Apostles as a companion of Saint Peter.[7][8][9] Most critical
scholars reject this tradition, and it is generally agreed that it was
written anonymously for a gentile audience, probably in Rome, sometime
shortly before or after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70
AD.[10][b]

As for me, I don;t knoe and I don't care who wrote it. I evaluate it
on it's own standing, as I do on most everything.
