Source.That's a bit of a no brainer to be fair, like we will ALL(?) kill if needs be or we will ALL(!) lie if needs be to see what sort of outcomes you would get you would need a control GROUP...possibly various different outcomes?
Mind you during the global 1939-45 war in Nazi held territories, the only group who identified themselves by their beliefs (religion?) and did not compromise those beliefs to pander to the master race in any way were the Jehovah's witnesses. The most shocking sell-out was by the catholic church who accepted and tolerated abortions but actually provided nuns to help carry out the godly tasks
What would you do?
Untrue...what is more likely is that; we are weak and rather than having the courage to draw that line, we take the easy route of cowardice.

Believing theft to be wrong it is over my line. This doesn't make me a coward, it shows my belief with regard to right/wrong.
The question is structured as such: "Would you lie, cheat or steal if" -> lists a number of felonies.
It assumes one is already complicit in criminal behavior.
Am I the only person who read it
I don't think the line has to do with cowardice. It is just a visual representation of things an individual will/will not do.

If you're going for the SHTF scenario, then it's total free-for-all. Survival of the fittest and all that.
I don't think the thread has to do with action alone. The OP has all sorts of "what if" conditions around the actions.
imo the 'line' has to do with the circumstances around the action. When fly says 'If you put a person in the right scenario, they will do almost anything.' you realize there's no 'firm' line because the scenarios change.
drawing the line is saying beyond that you're a coward. Strength means there's no line.
Unsurprisingly that is the bibliography of one book: The Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919–1945 Several of those books don't even mention abortion.It's been so long since I finished studying, I'm not sure what page the reference is but the book I sourced it from is: Welch, David. The Third Reich: Politics and Propaganda. New York: Routledge, 1993. sorry not got the ISBN. Also if you want to investigate further you could use the following as reference:

"If <insert felony behavior> would you <lie, steal, cheat>"How does it assume if it ask the question would you (I'm pretty sure that along with the 'line' part of the title answers your inane question)....is it me or are you being a dick for the sake of it....because a) Richard is a family name...or b) because you are really, really clever aren't you Zippy?
I'd agree with most of what you say but still believe that there are certain lines that people draw which are not based on situation/circumstance but based on a code they chose to live and die by. They are few and far between I'll grant you that.

This one though Catholic Citizens in the Third Reich: Psycho-social Principles and Moral Reasoning actually has a fairly long section dedicated to the objections, and public protest by the Church to Hitler's euthanasia programs (pp 224-250).
The Catholic Historical Review: Volume 62 (1976) (p. 56) The "Right to Kill" in the Third Reich. Prelude to Genocide by Graham, Robert A., SJ actually has a pretty thorough history of the topic.
Also apparently youve never heard of Mit brennender Sorge (With burning concern), which was a papal encyclical issued in 1937 condeming Nazism in general. Also one of the first public attacks on the Nazis...
lol, take the pole fkrs
that's zrhHow does it assume if it ask the question would you (I'm pretty sure that along with the 'line' part of the title answers your inane question)....is it me or are you being a dick for the sake of it....because a) Richard is a family name...or b) because you are really, really clever aren't you Zippy?
