ok, here's an interesting question - christians, you or them?

Question

ok, so from christian answers from recent questions, i've discovered that they would rather die and let their children die, than convert to another religion.
now, what if you were put into the postition (through terrorism or whatever) that you had to either kill yourself, or your only child. suicide is a sin for which you go to hell, as is murder, but knowing you can repent your sin and still get into heaven after murdering your child, which would you do?
please don't give the answer "it's not that simple" because it is that simple if you're under the control of some crazy terrorist as my question implies.
i don't mean to be morbid, i am just really trying to understand some of your values. thanks

Answer 1

Why would you have to either kill yourself or you child?
That does not make sense. Are you going to starve to death? Then you give food to your kid and you starve. No suicide. If a terrorist puts a gun in your hand and tells you to shoot you kid, you do not shoot and the terrorist shoots you. No suicide. I cannot foresee a situation in which you would have to make that choice. I would rather die than kill my child. Christianity teaches that both suicide and murder are wrong so if such a situation would actually arise, I guess the person would have to make that choice for themselves.

I think this is not the question you need to ask to understand christian values. Why don't you try reading the Bible?
