    With many strong feelings or beliefs either way for Christianity, atheism, JW would you be willing to die for your beliefs, or are they just feelings that never come from the heart?

    If faced with death for your beliefs, would you?

    I would never die for an abstract idea but I would die for a person.

    Yes and no. I have the courage and chutzpah to stand up to anyone about anything but I choose my battles carefully now, and I don't have a problem letting someone think they won if it saves me time I'd rather dedicate to more meaningful endeavors.

    Considering that beliefs are only mind generated abstracts and concepts, it seems foolish to die for them. Of course there are people who would blow themselves and others to bits, in the beliefs they will inherit a harem full of virgins.

    On second thought. Let me rethink this.

    By walking away from promised everlasting bliss with pandas and watermelon and David and Job, we have all proven that we are willing to die for our beliefs. Does that make sense or am I losing it?

    I could answer yes, and yet not do so when it came down to it.

    I could answer no, and yet do so when it came down to it.

    Much like the parable of the son who said he would not, and then did.

    BA- I believe I would die for my beliefs.

    PS- I know I would die for my children,
