I don't think I'd try and save him. Instead I'd try to take a selfie blow job pic with him on the cross, with any luck I might even make it into the bible.

I'd save him. The man clearly had a mental illness, and you don't just go around crucifying mentally I'll people, you treat them.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
I like this thread. Interesting responses.
As a Christian, I'm not sure what I would do. Of course, I'm going to do my best to save an innocent person because that's what is right. And if I love Jesus I ought to say I'd save him... But then, if I saved him, I wouldn't be given forgiveness through His death. And I think Jesus wanted to die on the cross... So preventing that would mean going against God's will. It's an interesting question for a Christian or an Atheist to answer ![]() RE: a hypothetical question

Interesting responses. i applaud you for you moral superiority to other theists. its selfish to let a innocent man die for your sins. because we know and everyone knows forgiveness from jesus is exploitable. that's the bad part about forgiveness. he could forgive either way without him dying. even if your going against gods will he goes against ours and its plainly written in the bible so going against him that would be our 1 against his many. god if he existed would need to learn to forgive instead of needing a human sacrifice to do so. d
