two people are drowning. one believes in god. one believes in something else. you aren't sure which is which, but you suspect the person on the left to be the believer. they are each the same distance from you. who do you save?

melissa if you don't like my question then don't bother answering it. since you seem to think i'm stupid, what does that say about you since you went off on me? you're no better.

i would attempt the skinnier one, since realistically i can't save a fat person :)

First I would call 911. Since it is hypothetical anyway, I would save the one that I believed to be the non-believer because the other one is already praying and maybe someone else will rescue them. If the one who believes in God, drowns at least they will go to heaven. If I save the non-believer, they may start to believe or at least have more time to go on living and have a chance to learn more about God.

the one that believes in something else, because the one that has believed on God will go to heaven. the unsaved will not and if you save the one that is not maybe he or she will have a chance to believe on God.

I would save the atheist, because the believer can rely on god to help them.... supposedly...

uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh.....This question gets asked on here several times a day. Let me ask you, why the hell do you care about what a group of people on yahoo might do in a hypothetical situation? Worry about your own and try to ask more intelligent questions. ok?

Neither. Why take the chance.
Seriously though, I'm a pretty good swimmer, I think I can get them both.
