I tackled one of the local clergy about this. He had da NOIVE to disagree with me. Imagine!

I think the "punch line" is "Go and do thou likewise," so I think the parable says we don't HAVE neighbors, we MAKE neighbors.And if the Gospel is, ahem, catholic (that is, universal), then we have a command, a duty, to show mercy to every one.

Whaddya say?
