What was the Samaritan even doing on a road between two "clean" Jewish cities? The priests and Levites would take this route to deliberately avoid traveling through "unclean" Samaria, but why would a Samaritan avoid Samaria?
Do you even take this story literally? Why not? It doesn't really say that it's a "parable" anywhere.
Did "Lazarus" literally find himself within Abraham's literal bosom? The list goes on. Why not just accept the Bible on its own terms?
