Interesting sentiment. There are three reasons people die for their religionorichalcum said:I suppose I would, depending on the situation.
Ditto.If someone had a gun at my head and ordered me to deny my faith in God I can assure you they'd have to pull the trigger...to deny my faith in God would be a fate worse than death!!!

Oops....did you just go from "dying" for your faith to "killing" for your faith?Katzpur said:Yes, I absolutely would. (I kinda hope it doesn't come to that, though. I definitely wouldn't make a good suicide bomber.)
My husband thinks it's okay to lie to protect someone. I have to agree. I have a friend who lost custody of her daughter to the abusive father. In her place, I would take the child and run, even if that meant lying a lot for a long time, because sometimes it's not all black and white.Melody said:And if they had a gun to your bewildered 5 year old's head?
I said that because suicide bombers, to the best of my knowledge, are willing to die right alongside those they kill. They seem to believe that it's an honor to do so. That's always struck me as pretty stupid. And have you ever noticed that it's always the peons who get this job? When is bin Ladin going to become a suicide bomber?Melody said:Oops....did you just go from "dying" for your faith to "killing" for your faith?
I would, no question about it. It's not something I would go out searching for, but if need be, I definitely would.Rotten.com/library/religion/martyrdom said:To die for something you believe in. That is perhaps the most noble of all human endeavors.
Seeking martyrdom on the promise of a "get out of hell free" card. That is perhaps the most idiotic of all human endeavors.
