Reply #2: The Parable of the Samaritan

[HawkerHurricane]

Lost in the translation: Samaritans were worse than the Pagan Romans, they were HERETICS: They worshipped Jehovah (they SAID, anyway) but denied the need for the Temple, denied all but the first 5 books of the Bible, didn't follow the LAW of Deuteronomy, barely followed the laws of Leviticus...

And Jesus made one the superior of a Pharasee and a priest.

Your neighbor is NOT your cobelievers, your neighbor is the man who shows you kindness, whether Roman, Jew, Pharasee, Saducee, or something else altogether. And it's not YOUR job to punish people for breaking God's law, God will do that thankyouverymuch.

The Fundies hate thier own Messiah; they deny the love of Jesus in favor of the LAWS of the Pharasees.
