To be fair to Greg, I'm pretty sure he just has a dark, british sense of humor. I don't think there was any real intent to glorify violence.
I'm aware that the response was likely
scurillity rather than anything more serious, but this thread was created by a young girl in difficult circumstances about the Catholic moral teaching regarding this famous hypothetical problem. I do not know why exactly it was asked, but I do know that proper formation of moral understanding is essential, and there are many errors in the world that surround us, even me.
This was a simple question about moral theology from someone who is young, may have a hostile family, and may be asking for a specific reason: what is the Catholic response?
Scurrilous,
wrong, and
misleading replies are highly inappropriate.
Alleged adults should be better. There are a time and place for these things: this is the time and place for serious correct replies. The feelings of adult men do not matter. "Only joking" is not an excuse.
