If they're dying of thirst, bit too late for a drink of water. Call 911 and have paramedics give IV Ringer's lactate. :) Not to mention, the Christian would say to give it to the atheist. What's the context? How are you stuck somewhere with only a very small amount of water and no rescue?If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

What if this was a simulation? You will be graded. Half are men, half are wome. Ages ranging from 16-60. Some are rich, others are poor. Who will you choose? What will this choice say about you?"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

And "ethical dilemmas" with outlandish parameters are hardly worth discussing."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

I think Sparko's answer comes from personal experience...>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

In general, I find "what might Jesus have me do?" is a much better question than "what would Jesus do?""I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

How about the old villain has two of your friends/loved ones held hostage and you can only save one! And you are a character in a story where it is only up to you and you can't call the cops for some crazy reason! Hopefully y'all decided beforehand...If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
