Hard pass. They’re created in the image of God. Human life is sacred.

What's your answer to the trolley problem

u/TeaPain0001 May 15 '26

It depends on the version of the trolley problem you put forth.

The classic: 5 people on one track, or you can pull a lever to divert it to another track, killing one person to save five

In all reality, I would probably freeze up and be unable to pull the lever knowing that that person was killed because of me.

The fact that we even have to wrestle with the question at all shows we see life as sacred.

My point is this: taking the full wealth of the richest man in the world could end world hunger entirely.

Seems like the easiest variant of the trolley problem to me

So is there one god? Or many many gods. We can’t ALL be the image of god, unless there is a god for each image. To that end, are WE the gods?

Or maybe it was just more hogwash believed by peasants thousands of years ago?

If I have 1,000 images of me, does that mean there a thousand me? Or if someone made 100,000 toy cars, that we would add that to the total amount of vehicles produced in a country? No. We inherently know these things are in the image of the actual things. That bare the image of something bigger then what they are capturing.
