Is there a moral dilemma here, for the god you believe in, such that it simply can't decide which of the two interests it should serve?
Or is this more of a bargaining with the divine kind of thing? Where I'm asked whether I'd put up with you or a god watching people hitting me in the back of the head with rocks for a century provided that I get eternity when the big one finally knocks me dead? OFC I wouldn't put up with that - if you were a cop you'd get fired. If you were a judge you'd be removed from the bench. Eternity with the people who've attempted to strike this bargain with me is no bargain in the first place.
Do you hold a builder accountable when the slum he erected collapses? Do you hold authorities accountable when they sit and passively watch injustice?
I would definitely save the person because I accept something from god, or if I don't believe in god I would ask something from the person I saved,
or probably just to feel good about my self and probably so people praise me, other than that why would I care about morals? why would I risk anything for morals?
If God killed or let someone be killed, it's not a wrong thing for him, but for us it is.
because God gave life to whoever he killed, why is that wrong, did you create yourself?
in fact, you don't have the right to kill yourself unless whoever created you gives you permission.
