You can believe it if you want but all this starving kids in africa are in need of help , where is this jesus fella now they need him ?

Nowhere , because he doesn't exist except in the minds of people afraid of death and desperate for an afterlife

There are no tories in heaven , not because tories are laggards, it's because heaven doesn't exist
Even if the whole thing is indeed a work of fantasy, that does not alter the fundamental truth of the parable does it? I suppose a modern day version would be for example where a Syrian man comes across an injured ISIS fighter, someone who is hated by the entire Syrian population, and having compassion on him takes him to a doctor/hospital and pays for the treatment himself. That would be a true case of loving thy neighbour.

Jesus is not around physically (until the second coming), so meanwhile Christians are to be his earthly hands and feet. BTW I am neither afraid of death (maybe the dying bit!) and not "desperate" for an afterlife. Only the honest belief in Jesus will see you into heaven -all our good works count for nowt. Hence whether we like it or not, there are likely to be Tories in heaven!
