So, is it your opinion that all people who don't believe this jesus fellow was the son of a god (or god himself), have identical mentalities and opinions about anything and everything?
Do you consider this sensible?
What to it?Reference DogmaHunter ' s posts.
Dude, chill out.
The thought experiment is a variation of the "the trolley problem". It's a thought experiment. Google it.
You flip a switch. The train does not flip the switch. It just goes where you send it.
Seems like a strawman to me.
Exactly. You choose not to stop two children from being run over by a train.Except when I don´t.
Exactly. You choose not to stop two children from being run over by a train.
Dude, be honest.
I know about these thought experiments. I don't live in a cave.
My beef is with your wording.
The person with access to the switch isn't killing anyone.
The train is killing the children. The person with access to the switch can not stop the train. Whatever happens, at least one child will die in an accident. The person flipping (or not flipping) the switch isn't killing anyone.
And you are unable to send it anywhere where it does not kill someone.
The train. Not you.
I´m not God. I can´t prevent the killing either way. Doesn´t mean I´m the killer.Exactly. You choose not to stop two children from being run over by a train.
When are you finally going to answer quotana's question on how this is related in any way to the "moral argument"?
Regardless of what quotana's answer is?
How is this moral dilemma pertinent to the "moral argument"?
Inquiring minds want to know...
I´m not God. I can´t prevent the killing either way. Doesn´t mean I´m the killer.
Now get over it.
Last time:How is - as you claimed several time - this dilemma "pertinent to the Moral Argument"?
How about a full train car full of Amalektites?We all know that at least one child will die.
Is it not better for one to die than two?
If there were ten children on the track instead of two, would that change anything?
How about a whole train car full of babies?
If the choice was between a whole train car full of new born babies was on the track, would you direct the train to run over the one child?
If so, why?
If not, then you would choose to allow a whole train car full of babies to be destroyed.
It's a rhetorical question loaded with assumptions I gave you no reason to assume in the first place.????
How is asking a question a strawman?
Ok, the dilemma isn´t "pertinent to the Moral Argument". Another lie on your track records of lies for Jesus.Sure you are responsible for the train killing two children. You could have stopped it but you didn't.
Stay on topic please.How about a full train car full of Amalektites?

I'ld rather call it "less bad".
No.
It seems as if you don't know what comes after this thought exercise. You realise there are multiple parts to this, right?
Allow me to continue....
Forget the switch.
This time, there is only one track with children on it and a train.
You are on a hill next to the track. The only way to stop the train is by pushing the fat guy next to you unto the track. If you do that, the children will live, but the fat guy will be turned into kebap.
What do you do?
It's a rhetorical question loaded with assumptions I gave you no reason to assume in the first place.
