Then the nuns on the bus wouldn't have made the effort to do their tour:

For whatever reason, far too many modern era "Christians" and "Catholics" forget that Jesus was after all, a man who spent most of his time hanging out with riffraff, healing the lepers, and knocking around the Money Changers.

If someone wants to practice Christianity, fine. But they should remember that Jesus was here on earth to bring a DIFFERENT message than that of the Old Testament. And that message was to love your neighbor as yourself, and to remember that when you help someone who is less fortunate, you help Him.
