Is there any belief, person, place etc. that you would die for?

I wouldn't die for anything myself. I value my own life above everything else. I guess I'm really selfish that way.

I'd die for this dam socialist country I live in. Too bad. That's about it. I'd die for America. Nothing else.

I would die for being a Christian, but for the things I'm dogmatic about, e.g. that I believe that Jesus is the savior, that the Holy Spirit exists, or that God is the one and only. If someone pointed a gun to my head and asked me, say, if I believed in dispensational premillenialism or not, I'd say whatever they'd want me to say.

I don't think that I could die for something, maybe only for my country or family.

I would die for my family, maybe. For my country, I could put my life on the line. But I might not do something for the country if I KNEW I would die.

I would not die for anything. Very few people in this world willingly die for something. People in army fight for their country because they are told to. Very few would choose to go over seas and die for the USA.

I wouldn't die for anything, there's nothing really worth it. Some people say they would die for their religion, but since I'm Agnostic that doesn't really apply. I wouldn't voluntarily die for my country, but if I do hopefully it will have been worth while.

your job is not to die for your country, but to make the other fool die for his

Muslims think in a very strange way, like tha japanese soldiers who were ready to die for the emperor. I don't know if this is good or bad only time knows it.

George Patton once said that if you die in battle, that doesn't make you a hero. Kicking the other country's ass does.

The best and nicest persons die in battle, the bad and cowards many times become "heroes" without having even fought. That's so unfair.

People seem to think that joining the army means accepting death for your country. Fighting for and dying for are completely different. I have faught people for my friends. But I wasn't going to take a beating for those friends. In the same way people fight for their country unwilling to die for it. Martyrdom means you're doing something you know will bring your death for the good of the cause. I don't know what I'd die for. A few people I know. But even then talk is cheap you don't know until someone makes you pick between yourself or the people you care about.

I would die for my faith. I'm not saying I'd commit suicide, but if say, someone held a gun to my head asking if I believe in God or that my belief was true, I couldn't deny it.

I would die for my religion. I am a christian, so if I had a choice of either denouncing Jesus and living or not denouncing Jesus and dying, I would choose death.
