The things we interrupt often define our moral character and at times test our bravery, our courage and just how far we are willing to go to protect others.
My morality is based on well being. For a full description of this, you can find no better example than on youtube
with a video made by Theoretical Bullshit - Treatise on Morality
The thing is, if I'm walking along the street and I see someone in harms way and I have the ability to protect that person, then I will interfere in whatever ill will is directed toward that person in order to help that person's present and future well being. In other words, I give a shit about what happens to someone.
There may be times in which I can't or won't interfere because my own human existence can end.
But let's say I can press a button and magically stop a rape or murder or any number of other things, accidental slip in the bathtub, etc
Things that would decrease the well being of another person.
Ok, so magic button pushing and I can stop a rape.
I mean, that's the right thing to do, is it not ? That's the moral thing to do.
Now what if I hired someone to specifically rape someone else. I actually planned for this person A to rape this person B. This is my plan.
Then I watch as my plan goes into effect. I don't stop it. I don't push a magic button. I let it proceed as I planned it.
Person B now has all the mental trauma and physical trauma of a rape that will last for the rest of their life.
If I, as a human being, was in a position to stop person A from raping person B, then I would interfere.
As a theist, if you see everything as god's plan, then I beg you to interfere in that plan as much as you can.
Stop a murder, stop a rape, feed the hungry, house the homeless, protect your family from god's plan.
Ask yourself, "What would an atheist do ?" and then do that.
