Nope, not in the least. I care more about the fact that a person WOULD help, not what their sociological make up is. Having been stranded on the side of the road (twice) and having had no one stop the first time, and a lot of people pass by the second, I don't care of you are green with purple polka dots. Fact is, you stopped to help. That's all that is important.

of course not
but in thinking better of them i would in no way think better of their religion.
not to mention any religion in particular, if i thought it was ludicrous from the start i wouldn't cease to think that way
you see i can think of a religion as ludicrous not people regardless of their religious affiliation...i am a feminist and often make generalizations when it comes men and how bizarre theiw minds are but if a man saved me i would think he is a good man not that all men are good or more men are good.
people are good regardless of their religion race political party...it is the majority that ruins the image of those few good...i can't let their image be marred by the image of the majority...that would be unrighteous..
perhaps your question is deeper than even you realize it.
anyway merry christmas and god willing you are never in a situation where you need to be saved..if you are i hope your savior comes in good time.

To be honest there are many truly good people of different beliefs and back grounds, and of course the answer is no. The question is from what position are you asking this question? Whats your point, we should all hold hands and sing songs from the 60's and everyone will get along. Just like there are truly good people there are also evil people, worse than that there are those who see evil people doing evil and do nothing to stop it. Good things happen when common people take action for what is right, bad things happen when good people do nothing.

Nope not at all. I can even give you a for instance .
my manufactured home park is going under many people from many different religions and also non- believers live here. It was the LDS Church who stepped in not only helped with money but helped people take down awnings and helped people pack. They didn't care they just needed help.
This is happeing right now.

I wouldn't care as far as aid was concerned; but if I found that the person helping me shared my beliefs, the connection would go some distance in helping my spirits. I think that anyone answering this question honestly would likely feel similarly.

No, and although I don't always agree with their ideas or perspectives, it wouldn't matter regardless of whether they saved me or not. I only "judge" people by their character. I have friends and family members who are different races, religions, political parties and sexual preferences.

What has being hurt got to do with it? I have friends and family who are different races, religions, and heaven help them (trying to be a little funny here)-different political beliefs than mine.

A person does not save you the Lord saves you

hell no. I just told an old man that same thing the other day. If my arm was cut off, I don't care what sex, color, race, etc... as long as that person knows what they're doing.
