I think when it is actually established that killing the wounded after a disaster is a standard practice in non-Christian societies, then that will be the time to dovetail into Catholic theology.
In 2006, 250,000 people died in the tidal waves off Indonesia and Thailand. In 2011, Japan was rocked by an earthquake and tidal wave, causing over 15,000 deaths and 6,700 injuries. These are typically non-Christian locations. Were mercy killings common in these two disasters? What about the Rwandan genocide and famine - were famine-stricken people killing other famine-stricken people under the idea that “Only Catholics would be cruel enough to deny us the right to kill others, thereby relieving them of the burden of dying even more horribly”?
:rolleyes:
Again, prove that non-Christians behave differently from Christians in similar situations and then, maybe, an exploration into Catholic theology might be worth it. Until then, we’re wasting our time.
