And Hitler was a xtian....and a fine representative of breed.
Himmler was a professed christian, Hitler was born into christianity, but stopped participating in it after childhood.

This is all hypothetical. Please, just let everything be. Do not question anything. (you xtians should be good at that part)
There is a bus that has an observable and prominent sign that clarifies they are an atheist group. There are exactly 100 people on that bus; all atheist.
That very bus gets stuck on a railroad track. The door's mechanics fail, and cannot open, and all the emergency exists are sealed shut, without any way of opening. There is no escape from this bus without an outside force acting upon it.
Now, there is a van with a family of 4 inside. On all of the windows, there are Christianity symbols, one of which clarifies that the family are all Christians.
That same van gets stuck on the same railroad track, right next to the bus. The van shuts down, and all the electronic locks are malfunctioning and there is no way to escape.
Now, you happen to be riding along the tracks in your truck and notice both the bus and the van stuck on the tracks.
As you notice this, you hear and can see a train in the near distance coming, speeding down the tracks.
You have only enough time to use your winch and set free one vehicle. The bus or the van.
DOES THIS HELP?
Would you pull the bus out of the tracks or would you pull the van out of the tracks, knowing that exactly 100 atheists were in the bus and exactly 4 Christians were in the van.
Would you pull neither, and watch them all get smashed by the train, KNOWING you could successfully save lives.
Please, let us know your stance on this.
As most busses can only seat 60, a bus with 100 people in it is either going to be too big to move with my truck or too heavy. The best thing then would be break the windows on the van and get the christians to help break into the bus and off load it.
For the time it takes to hook up and winch a one of the vehicles off the tracks the 4 could be saved right away and if all 5 people were to create a exit point on this super bus, most of them would saved as well.
Faith does not play apart in this scenario. What should be considered is saving those who you know you can save and getting them to help save everyone else lest everyone dies if you try and save the big prize.
