Would You Convert to Islam to Avoid getting Your Head Chopped Off? Atheist to Polytheist, what say you?

Would you convert to Islam if they were holding your head on a Ax Block, ready to swing the Ax or Sword to cut your head off? We know there are people who died for their Political and Spiritual Values, would you convert to Islam to avoid Death? For Atheists, can you justify conversion to preserve life since there is no life after death? You must do all you can to avoid dying premature, would you Christians or Atheists stand up for your beliefs? Thanks, it's a honest question I was wondering if I had the moral fiber to no Disown Jesus Christ, if you are Agnostic or Atheist it's fair to postulate you have nothing to lose by conversion. What would you do?

There really is no point in converting. There's video footage of ISIS chopping the heads of off ppl that converted when faced with that supposed choice. Might as well die with some integrity. If I were to convert, it would only be if they threatened the life of my children.

ISIS has it covered. They force the conversion THEN chop their heads off. The poor pagans get an immediate entry in to Paradise, AND they have no chance to recant.

I'd fake a conversion, no problem. My mind is my own.

Even an athiest can live with reverence for life, the wonder of it all. Since it is short-lived, protect it!

I would convert to a KKK member to save my head, and I,m

Jam, LOL!

But on a serious note:

The problem with ISIS (well, one of them) is that they want the men to fight for them but those men have to give up their wives for use by the soldiers. I somehow, somewhere I thought I'd read that the Koran doesn't bless fornication, much less rape.

Atheism isn't a belief and doesn't require an upper-case "A". If you are less than impressed by the grandiose claims of theism you too are an atheist.

Accepting the terms of your thought experiment, of course I would say what they want to hear and live and fight another day. Revenge would be sweet.

Yes, I'm not dying for an imaginary friend.

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly, for someday sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
