i want a straight answer...?

Question

form athiests... if ever your son or daughter(a devout christian) is in a situation of life and death, for example, she needs a heart transplant and only a religious person has willingly offer to donate his heart but this religous guy wanted to comprise you to convert and your daughter asks you to please convert into a religious person because that is whats she praying for all her life,

would you do it for your daughter?

im being nice here but what i get is stupid people with stupid answers. read the question carefully. you could be wrong on no person alive will donate his heart. what if that person has illness that can be cure and his life is numbered but his heart is really healthy?( a christian or any other religion can surely do that how about you atheists?) ahhh i youve already answer that... no person alive can do it.(this goes directly to concerned answerer.

sorry ....i mean CAN"T BE CURED.

gwad. a good hearted christian can do that. and its our understanding GOD will know whats inside that mans heart.

hmmm ... so only few atheists can really understand something what the question really is.

for those who answer sincerely thank you specially gwad. for those stupid ones thank you too.

i said IF EVER....

why cant you understand? or you just shut your whole heart and mind about that situation?

does this mean atheists are not likely to convert if the same situation occur?

Answer 1

I'm not an atheist... but I'll take the hypothetical anyway and pretend that I'm being asked to convert to a particular religion, being as I am not religious at all. The question is, after all, would I convert and practice a belief system different from my own to save my daughter.

Well, of course I would, generally speaking... but would it matter? As you say... if there's a God, He would know that I didn't really begin to believe anything different, and I'd probably make him that much more angry with me. I'd do an awful lot for a child of mine.

I've decided to pose the question that gwad suggested, as I'd like to know what other religious people think. :)

Answer 2

There's a brain donor joke in here somewhere... I just know it. Oh, there it is! First, find yourself a brain donor, then realise how idiotic this question is. A living person is going to donate their heart... right. You know what? I can still answer this; Absolutely not. A person who is going to let someone else die simply so they can force their religion on just one more person is not going to get ANYTHING from me.

Edit: Did you people who are agreeing even read this? It's a HEART, people. Just suspending reality for a moment and assuming this idiotic situation would ever take place, you'd be KILLING him to save your daughter. Now while I may not have a problem with that, being rather selfish and all, shouldn't you christians answering yes be ashamed of yourselves?

Oh, I have no doubt that a christian can murder someone to save their daughter. Hell, if they can murder someone to further their beliefs I'm sure they can do it to save their daughter. A "good" christian though? If selfishness and murder is "good" in christianity then no wonder it's so f'ed up.

Answer 3

Think of this for a second. There is a distinct difference between believing in a god and believing a god. Then make a desicion on the fact that in the example given, there is a life on the table and then also that privately even the most devout of saints can fall away from faith. ( I could tell the pope that I were his strongest follower, and he would only be able to take my past as an example.)

Answer 4

An atheist doesn't believe in God, so why wouldn't he "convert" to save a life?

I'd agree to "convert" to Catholicism, Baptist, Mormon, Satanism or whatever if it would end human suffering. But, it would be of no consequence. So, I would be giving up nothing for much gain.

The question is illogical and based on a false assumption.

You also appear to be functionally illiterate. Even your comments are nonsensical.

Answer 5

yeah i would, for the sake of my daughter however, i would not participate 100% nor would I go out and convert others.

Let's reverse the question what if an Atheist was the only one who would save your daughter and ask to renounce your faith and belief in god on national television? care to answer that?

Answer 6

Straight answer? The system doesn't work that way. A heart donor has no say as to the recipient, who is to be anonymous, each to the other.

Isn't one of the rules we are told to live by is to Do unto others, as we would have others do unto you? Would you reverse your question and give up your faith to save your child? If not, you are not God's man of Mercy. There are better ways to help others to see the Light. This is not one of them. The better way would be to show him God's love, not shove it down his throat. Straight answer my Bible! That dear sir is a loaded baiting question, asked to create dissension.

Answer 7

Beijing is the political capital of the People Republic of China, and is customarily taken because the every day which means of capital town, and Shanghai is the inexpensive capital. However, there's continuously the Republic of China, that is often referred to as Taiwan, and it is capital is Taipai.

Answer 8

I think it would all come down to what you wanted. You love your kid right so you say okay. You however say you'd give the christain thing a trial and you do and see how it works out. Being a christain isnt so bad.

Answer 9

a conversion coerced for the life of a family member. How could anyone even trust that the conversion was truthful?

Answer 10

yes! if you knew what that really meant you jump so fast. You must except Jesus as your Savior to be born again and God will send his HOLY SPIRIT TO LIVE IN YOU that's what its all about getting that spirit in you, then when you die your soul goes with the HOLY SPIRIT to eternity with the Lord! Hurry do it
