Would You Be the Bad Guy?

Crazy hypothetical: Be The Bad Guy*

In order to protect your family and those that you love, you must take credit for a terrible crime. You can’t tell anyone the real reason for your actions. People will always believe that you have done this and you can never be cleared. Do you take the rap?

Variables to consider:

The Crime: Is there a crime you wouldn't admit to?

Your legacy: What if they would know of your innocence after you died? What if your family would know of your innocence but the rest of the world would see you as guilty?

What are they protected from: Death, Suffering, Finical distress, Punishment from the crime I.E.  They did it but you take the rap

The Punishment: Will you be in prison, be executed, a social pariah... 

*Crazy Hypothetical is a mental game that gives you a conditional choice that gets you thinking about a subject. I used these for several years as discussion starters in Bible class. This one is good to start discussion on sacrifice
