Without the Shedding of Blood There is No Remission of Sin

The same value as every other hypothetical. You're imagining a situation to see how you would behave within that scenario.

Now, you might not think that hypothetical can occur within reality, and that's fine, but it doesn't mean that there's no answer, or nothing of value one might glean from it- in this case I'd suggest it'd give us a more comprehensive view of what you value within your moral worldview, which is instructive in a discussion on sin and god. I really can't imagine why theists are always so unwilling to engage with this specific hypothetical- and always in this specific, evasive way- other than that it presents a really bad image problem for y'all.

I know that neither answer to this question allows your beliefs to come out looking very good, but that's not the same as there not being an answer.
