But I don't see the suicide prevention organisation rebranding as "The Good Samaritans", now do you?
Nea just likes poking holes in things sometimes. |
Simon of Cyrene was the one that the Roman soldier made to help Jesus carry the cross. The Good Samaritan was the one who help the waylaid traveler in the "Good Samaritan Parable."
And the point was to be more cosmopolitan and not assume everyone else is uncultured. That's the point in case you missed it.
