Until you consider that jesus was using the Samaritan to signify the lowest of the low in society. But yet it is a good story. So is the parable of the manager and story of the man that came to jesus with a denarii. In fact I'd even be willing to believe the last one happened, as there was lots of cultists like jesus at the time.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
