What would Jesus do?

I was discussing different moral dilemmas with my friends the other day, and I thought it would be a great post to share with everyone else. The following 3 moral dilemmas gave me the most trouble. For some extra fun, each moral dilemma has a "Super Dilemma" addition which you can challenge your moral fibre even more. Enjoy.

  1. You are working as a bridge operator, that is you raise and lower the bridge whenever needed. The bridge is responsible for giving access to trains wishing to cross the river. On one particular day you bring your only child to work, to show him what kind of job daddy does. Unfortunately one of the hatches in the operating room was open and your kid falls into the machinery, getting stuck on some gears. You try to pull him out but he's stuck. Maybe with some help he will be rescued. Oh no! Here comes the train, and the bridge is in the raised position. If you pull the lever and lower the bridge you will kill your only child, but save hundreds of people who are travelling on the train. Or do you keep the bridge in the raised position and try to save your child while the hundreds and hundreds of people die as the train crashes. What do you do? SUPER DILEMMA: Not only is your kid stuck, the train is coming, but also your mother-in-law is drowning in the river!
  2. You meet two women. One is beautiful, but has a hideous body. The other has a hideous face but an amazing body. Who do you sleep with? SUPER DILEMMA: Your mother-in-law is next door, and the walls are paper thin.
  3. You are strapped to a chair. Your only range of movement is to duck down. You cannot move laterally. Unfortunately there is a container of vomit on your lap. (By the way, the vomit is not yours if that matters to anyone.) Oh no! There is a large amount of poo flying straight at your face. (By the way, the poo is not yours if that matters to anyone.) You can duck down and avoid getting hit by the poo, but you will dip your face into vomit. Or take the poo right between the eyes. What do you do? SUPER DILEMMA: The vomit and poo came from your mother-in-law.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
