A high status person who is expected to do good walks past the sufferer and does the opposite.
You laugh at this in mockery and yet you say you have an interest in securing justice and fairness in society.
No, genius, I was mocking the fact that you thought we wouldn't recognize an "adapted" version of the Good Samaritan story.
You should have made the hero of the story another race, since that's the "issue" in our time. Samaritans were universally loathed and seen as almost sub-human by the Hebrews, so the point of the story is not only that good deeds were done, but that the person who is doing right is the "sub-human" who knows the Way (as you put it), not the "herrenvolk" (here, the Hebrews) so full of their own racial importance and self-righteous adherence to their Holy Laws that they forgot what it was really all about-- religion is supposed to unite people, not divide them, to cause us to be kinder to one another, not hateful.
By the way, you just (again) restated a major principle of Secular Humanism, as I pointed out to you before. Not all atheists are Secular Humanists, of course, but many of us are. Since you appear not to be aware of what SH represents, I invite you to look it up and listen to the people who actually are SH tell you what it is, not just others.
Short version: We already believe the things you're "teaching" us.
Now, do you really think I was trying to trick you by telling this story? I know some people are unaware of it even on this forum.
I am glad I struck a chord in you. It is only for the good of your being. I see that you were wrongfully accused of something you did not do. You must have felt immense pain over the ordeal. I understand if you do not want to talk about it publicly. I will be persecuted in the near future as well for something I did not do but these situations are to test us so that we may have a better understanding of the difference between good and bad. Just like there is night and day. You have a front and a back, left and a right, above & below, life & death. But the third is the one you cannot see with your eyes. In a sense it encompasses the other 2 of each side making the 3 divine.
We are on the third planet from the Sun.
Recall that the last Jesus died at 33 and most likely I will as well. I was born at 0333. I am born as the third son under Pisces. Thoth is represented as Three times great great. The Christmas tree has three sides with a star just like the dollar has a pyramid. The dollar pyramid has an eye at the top representing the things you cannot see. It is seperate from the rest of the pyramid but just about to connect. Although all is connected the eye is connected in a different manner. Just as everyone is connected but connected in a different manner. Yet we are all the same. Halloween starts with a 3 day observance remembering the dead because we are judged when we die. The Mexican Holiday is called the Day of the dead for the very same reason. Where do you think Santa came from? He sees you when your sleeping & knows if you've been bad or good. St. Patrick holds a shamrock with 3 sides for this very same reason. He found his way when he was in the wilderness. That story is also about "Jesus". All the stories are of the last Christ who came. It is all the same story. Yet you believe it is all fiction?
