Christians claim that Jesus did not have enough money to buy all that food.
Macro Economics 101: A day’s wage should feed the worker, his wife, and three
kids (three grownups +) three meals a day. This adds up to roughly 10 meals a
day. But since cost of food is only 50% of the daily living cost then the cost
of the 10 meals is only half of the daily wage of a worker. This means the wage
of a labor day is equivalent to 20 meals. Feeding the 5000 a single meal
requires 250 days wages (5000 meals divided by 20 meals/labor day). Finance 101:
Jesus only needed to secure 250 days wages. Jesus was receiving donations (Judas
held the money bag from which he was steeling, and Jesus who knows everything
and is going to judge us, did not know this). If each believer in this god
donated a single day’s wage per month Jesus could have easily collected 5000
days wages (one day's wage from each believer). Those 5000 days wages are enough
money to feed 100,000 people (5000 labor days x 20 meals/labor day). Jesus could
have easily fed those 5000 and still ended up with a fortune. If he can afford
to anoint his feet with 300 days wages then he would surely invest another 300
to do more miracles (250 meals + 50 transportation to site). Miracles make more
money and more money make more miracles…
