We disagree, but I'm no idiot.
Let's go with your comparison; you think me the bandits, perhaps, or the "righteous" men who passed the victim by? Because that's ludicrous.
Here is a man, abused by the world, beaten, lied to, deeply wounded. Told that, to be loved, they have to accept they're someone God made either incorrectly on His part, or as some sort of cruel joke or irony, and the only way to be happy, is to change what God made them.
And me, the random fucking dude who wanted to bitch about Al Sharpton on the internet, and somehow got roped into a multi-week, multi-pronged assault by multiple people calling me some variant of "asshole", trying to tell people that, hey, maybe they should accept who God made them to be.
What part of those makes me the bandit? Am I "misleading" or "abusing" Ghav? If I'm some crazy street doomseer, walk away from me. No harm there, I'm keeping nobody around, and forcing nobody to listen to me.
What part of that makes me the "righteous" men? I see this person lied to, lying to themselves, telling themselves they know better than God, and I try and say "look, you're in serious danger here. Stop harming kids, accept your sin, and accept forgiveness".
What part of that makes me anything but the Samaritan? Am I being applauded by men, here? Am I ignoring the wounded because of some feeble "law"?
Or am I truly trying to help one who is wounded and lost?
Do you mind calming down? I was going to talk about other stories such as Jesus talking to the Samaritan Woman (John chapter 4) and Jacob’s Well
Jacob grandson of Abraham, Jacob son of Issac and I was going to explain the religious significance of that Mountain. Mount Gerizim also called Aargaareezem. Mount Gerizim which had a holy temple built onto it, that is mentioned in 2 Maccabees 6, whose temple was destroyed not by the Selucid empire but was destroyed by 150 years prior to Jesus and the Samaritan woman by Hasmonean ruler John Hyrcanus (High Priest of the Temple of Jerusalem), how after the Maccabee revolution the kingdom of who was and not Jewish is not the same as the body that recognized the temple in Jerusalem and thus the people of the temple of Jerusalem saw as strangers their fellow Jew and called them foreigners and destroyed holy temples dedicated to Yahweh for they were not pure enough.
I was going to explain the significance of John chapter 4, but also circle it about to Noah and then later Abraham with specifically Chapters 18 and 19 of Genesis. I was going to circle it about the concept of hospitality and the Greek word Xenia, a concept that is a Greek word the “stranger” yet is all over the bible in foreign (Hebrew) tongues, words like Ger Toshav.
But whatever, words have no meaning, only glory? Only the exalted? Is that what you are saying? I can not tell anymore.
