Samaritans were atheists?
Oh wait, maybe this is just part of the whole atheist-vs-Christian script where you say “Atheists are just as moral as Christians!” and I answer with the parable of building a house on sand, is that it?
OK, that’s out of the way, what’s the next script dead horse you want to pull out into the field to beat?
The Old Testament genocide thing? The shellfish thing? The wearing two types of cloth thing? The selling your daughter into slavery thing? Or if you’re tired of the Old Testament, maybe drag out some New Testament stuff, like how Jesus was a racist and a thief?
This crap goes on forever on the internet, and you want to drag it in here because you think it makes you look smart.
Men a lot smarter than you and I have gone on and on about these things, and nowadays the arguments and counter arguments haven’t gotten any better; if anything, they’ve devolved into bad caricatures of what they used to be.
I made my point. If you refuse to get it, no big loss.
