>Bad Samaritan carve-out
You mean...Samaritan? The Samaritans were the Nazis of their day and the legend is about a Samaritan that rose above his race and did what was good - thus, the one Good Samaritan.
You wouldn’t say Bad Nazi. You just say Nazi and Good Nazi.
- tga_d 6y agoThat is not what the parable of the Samaritan was implying, nor the context of it. Samaritans were and are an ethnic group that historically has had friction with other Semitic groups (notably, Jews). They were not in any way "Nazis of their day," and the parable was not about that particular Samaritan being better than other Samaritans, but about morality being a stronger tie than culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Good_Samaritan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Good_Samaritan
