tynan I think you may have read living asleep's truncated sentence and missed a negative which turned the sense into the positive...or something...

What reference are you using to say his teachings were/are good rules ?
By that I mean what teachings are you referring to ?[/quote]
er..that's obviously a fairly long discussion...probably not suited to a rider down thread... as a basis - yep I'm assuming a general sense of what's accepted as "right" and "wrong", given that much of the worls seems to be in agreement regardless of religious peruasion, and Jesus's position as an originator of teachings rather than a figure cooked up by a religious sect to propogate their own ideas. But yeah, I think I could have that conversation, though I wold seriously try to avoid it...
@Greasy slag - yeah I wouldn't describe myself as self-satisfied either really, but some people are. I'd be more the introverted and paranoid type. One of the characters in the parable covers that response too. But yeah there are plenty of good samaritans in London, i know that. I am helpful sometimes myself, but there have been times when I haven't been. Cyclist down? easy. Grimy, smelly, dribbling homeless dragging himself along with his hands and whining "help me" in covent garden in the rain? Couple of years ago I stood watching this, appalled at how such a creature could carry in like that. Fifty or so people walked past while he whined on. Then a young guy unthinkingly got down beside him and picked him up in his arms and started to help him. I felt fairly cunty.
