dying

A man in a red suit gestures animatedly while speaking to a seated listener, only the back of whose blonde head is visible. He says: "That's the whole story? That he didn't just let a man bleeding to death on the ground die? And this was surprising because the dying guy was from a slightly different group of Abrahamic Near-Eastern Semites?" A caption below reads: "The fact that Jesus felt humans needed the Good Samaritan story is remarkably insulting." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up shows the blonde listener's head slumped forward in exasperation while the man, off-panel, deadpans: "Yes, despite their differences, members of Levantine monotheism #827634568A should help members of Levantine monotheism #827634568B." The joke reduces the parable's religious groups to interchangeable serial numbers, mocking the idea that such basic decency needed teaching.
