    To add on, the parable of The Good Samaritan also highlights his opinions on how Christians should treat people that are of a different, “reviled” culture than their own (Samaria in the story) by defining who a “neighbor” is and emphasis on loving your neighbor as yourself.

      People do some wild backflips to try to wriggle out of accepting the good Samaritan story. They’ll say it’s an elaborate metaphorically for blah blah instead of a simple story that shows the point in plain text.

      But a lot of alleged christians don’t really follow the texts. Don’t pray in the closet. Don’t treat the least among them well.
