I tell God: "According to Christian belief, you are a kind, benevolent god who will answer the wishes of anyone who asks nicely. Given you're supposed to be so nice, it goes against that character to put me in this situation, and my loved one or 100 random people in eternal suffering. Therefore, who the Christians believe in must not be you, because of your varying personalities. Therefore, even all the Christians who think they're going to heaven will actually be damned along with the rest of us. So whether I choose one or the other or neither, we have the same outcome. So I choose neither, so no one has to suffer more than everyone else."
Oh... fuck. There are so many jokes I could make here. Okay. List time!
Okay, what I'd really do is ask this "god" why I have to do this and tell him/her/it that any being worth calling "God" would never place anybody in a situation like this.
Demand to see life's manager. (HAHA! I finally found a good place to put a Portal 2 quote!!!)
Fuck god's demands and fuck everyone. I'd pull both levers.
Call god down and ask him why the fuck there's a clone of myself alone in that cage over there.
I'd tell god that I'm a true (Insert whatever religion this god fucker comes from here) and that I love him more than anyone.

If i waste no time thinking then damn the people.
If i accidentally start thinking about all of the lives i'm ending and how i'll effect other's lives then damn the closest person.

....How would everyone on Earth it into One stadium?commodore96 said:
OT: C. Why, you ask, would I condemn the entirety of Earth's Population to Hell? Because IF hell exists (which in this case we are assuming to be true) everyone IS going there. Every adult human being on Earth has done something that goes against some code/morality of christianity/islam/judaism. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. whether it be, masturbating...or, checking out a hot girl/guy and thinking about banging her, or, whatever. So why make an arbitrary moral decision myself, when the end result of all three actions is the same?
As unethical as it is, I would damn the 100 random people because, if I didn't and I damned the closest person to me to Hell, I doubt they would appreciate the horribly huge sacrifice I made for them. Plus, I value people I know over people I don't.
This is an interesting poll because it highlights one of the horribly broken things about humans. Evolution has caused us to care about kin, in-groups and people we know, but it hasn't given us a function for caring about people we have never met, or feeling bad when something happens to them. As a result we make hilariously immoral choices like this, sacrificing 100 to save 1 or funding a military we don't need instead of ending world hunger.
100 is more than 1, so there is no question that A is the right choice; but people would feel bad about somebody close to them being hurt, and be worried that the person would resent them for choosing it, so they choose B. We should care more about 100 people being hurt than one person being hurt. We should care more about whether those 100 people hate us for being selfish and choosing the one person. But we aren't set up to think that way, which allows us to do the wrong thing while feeling as though it is right.
Suck it up and do the right thing. 100 people are more important than whether you feel bad about yourself afterward.
A.
EDIT: This analysis ignores the issue of onlookers and the possibility of repercussions by family members, etc. Onlookers don't change which choice is right, but do confuse the issue by introducing more variables; for example, if someone thought that the relatives of the 100 would take it out on their family, they might decide that the possibility of being rejected by their family is preferable to the possibility of their family being killed (or whatever; let's try and not let this turn into a discussion of the nature of heaven and hell), and choose A for reasons completely unrelated to the actual dilemma.

Must be a schizophrenic god if he forces you to kill people for entrance into his "heaven". Why else would he be so sadistic and then be so nice by providing heaven (If this heaven is biblically similar) ? Besides that and to answer the question, I say I would sacrifice the person closest to me. The two choices are basically selfishness (spare one) or compassion (spare a hundred). Sparing one is not selfish if is your only option, but it is if you have those two choices.
I'm going with C. This God is clearly an asshole. Screw him.
Besides, the idea that there could be such a concept as "eternal pain" is ludicrous.

Could I take the role of the sacrifice and save both?
Technically no, cause your not killing them your just sending them to eternal tormentThe_Blue_Rider said:I choose the person closest to me then i shall unlock my true power >
