Thought game who dies

There are two groups of people numbering exactly the same.

In one group are friends and family peacefully enjoying the day. The other group is about to slaughter your friends and family.

In your post to this thread you decide what happens. If you say you kill the aggressors state that you'd defend your friends and family. No other means will save them. You prrsonally must do the killing.

If you do not defend, then you choose to watch your friends and family die while you do nothing. For those of you who believe in God, he has put you there and given you this chance. Do you defend or do nothing?

Defend and kill them all. It is what God would expect you to do. Then I would thank God for giving me the ability to do so.

Wow, I am surprised. I wonder how many others of this forum would follow suit.

You're surprised that someone would chose to defend their friends and family from people who'd wish to kill them?

the buddha supposedly stopped a mass murderer who became a convert to Buddhism,
He did that just by looking at the guy

Sounds like a bogus story.

Would that make you evil for killing others?

I would sit down and try to discuss the complicated situation with the group about to slaughter my friends and family and, in so doing, avoid the violent-outcome-only assumptions built into your thought game. It'd be a win-win solution. Maybe my friends and family, who were peacefully enjoying the da,y would end up peacefully enjoying the day, in an unexpected spirit of friendship, with the group that had been about to slaughter them. Meanwhile, my family and friends might learn to empathize with those who have aggressive feelings towards them. I'd see the dilemma you describe as an opportunity for all those involved.
