accuracy....Wouldn't Jesus parable about the good samaritan indicate that anyone could be "our brethen"?

Excellent points, Ven! My thoughts exactly.

Did you ever hear about the dyslectic, agnostic,insomniac who used to
lay awake at night wondering whether or not there was a DOG?

Jesus was a little more specific. He said the separation was on the basis of how people treated "the least of these my brethren." It depends on who you consider his "brethren" to be.

So true. Then someone asked him "Who is My brother?" and his answer was profound.

All the ones who felt they had the right religion, had the truth, passed by the man on the road, Then along cam a man who was an outcast and to be shunned. And this man cared for the man on the road who was in pain. The reason why this man from Samaria helped was because he knew that this was how we show our love for God and His children, unconditionally and with true compassion. This Samaritan man didn't have to make an outward showing of his righteousness by shunning those he considered beneath him because he had something on the inside that was truly spiritual.
