It may not be their interpretation that is unreasonable so much as their desire to associate themselves with those who believe as you do.

Just a stranger on the bus? 
I'm entirely certain that he has been...allegorically, that is. His name was Cletus and he was just trying to find out who his daddy was.
Not sure about his daddy but his mom was a total bitch, according to Jesus that is.

You know who's strangely absent in that story? The little girls father..the womans mate...breaking jesus' jaw for the double indignity of his comments.
If we went to a physician and he said "Bitch, why should I heal your little girl?" - he'd need a physician. I was -this- close to breaking a doctors arm once just because he respectfully suggested to my wife that he might not be able to do anything for Lahni, that it was beyond his ability.

But, pro tip, don't bother with scripture. No one here cares, leastwise not among the ones you're trying to harvest for Jeebus.

As to an afterlife. Well, don't want any. No sugary heaven, no eternal pain. Kinda hoping to go out, simply. Like an old light bubble. In some 100 years or so.

Whereas I hope to live forever in memory and lineage... and through a monument of stone that I build with my own two hands. One day, all of you will feel the cruel boot of my children on your necks.
