Christians: Saving the Damned?

[Loading Please Wait]

I have a question for Christians out there.
I know only Christians won't vote or reply, I do understand this is an atheist forum, but I do encourage everyone to give their opinion, but would like only Christians to vote.

This is purely theoretical and similar scenarios could happen one day.

If it was a life or death situation for a group of 100 atheists (all strangers), or a family of four that are Christians, (all strangers again) and you could only save one group of them, who would you save?

Would you save the lives of 4 Christians over 100 atheists?

Or would you chose the lives of 100 civilians over 4?

It depended on who were the four verse the 100. Numbers do not mean anything without context.

Sorry for not clarifying; All strangers.

Yes.

then what does it matter who dies?

So you wouldn't save either?

Weren't Christians already saved?

My question is, would a Christian choose to let 100 atheists die over 4 Christians?

Or let 4 Christians die over 100 atheists?

When so disproportionate,numbers mean everything. I would also save 100 Christians vs 4 atheists. I do not usually judge human beings on the basis of their beliefs. (or lack of them)

Even here,I don't say our resident apologist loons are loons BECAUSE they are apologists. (That would be an ad hominem.) I think they would be loons regardless of context.



Equal numbers? I might toss a coin,or look at context.

Who cares? Makes no difference to my moral position. I would aim for what I saw as the greater good. I like to think I could not justify allowing 100 people to die to save 4. This is a hypothetical,so I'm unable to say what I would actually do until I find myself in the situation.

I'd save them all cause I'm SuperGirl and can fly. I assume they could all be saved if I can fly. If not, I will save them with my many other powers.
