Are you willing to die for your beliefs?  Any beliefs at all (not just religion)?

yes. don't laugh but i would like to help out the african nations. i feel that the countries and people there have been forgotten by the first world countries. \n\nCommon american attitude: who cares about people who are dying of AIDS or malaria in africa when i'm here at home comtemplating whether i should get my breast augmented. hey i think dancing with the stars is on. omg, i can't believe they broke up! did you see what maria was wearing last nite? god, i'm so fat. why can't i find a man? my life sucks etc...\n\ni am willing to run the risk of being murdered over there so long as i have the opportunity to help clean up corrupt governments and help people \n\ni just wish people would care more about other issues besides the ones that directly affect them.

Yes I do. But don't believe in pushing my beliefs on anyone. Feel that everyone has their own choices on what they believe. And respect that. As I like to be respected. :)

I will always take my religious/personal beliefs over the law.\n\nI am not very religious, but I do have strong religious beliefs. I am also a law enforcement officer.\n\nI guess I'm a contradiction!

I do not take anything the bible says literally. I do not know if i will. You asked for honesty and this is what i am going to give. I do not know if i would. I do not even know if i would take one for a loved one. At that very moment i do not know what will happen. But i have learned to accept death. So if they have to die they have to and nothing i do will stop it.\nIf i am i guess that will be the day when i run infront the Gun. I really do not know what i will do at that point in time. I may think about my own life and why should i end it in that manner. I really do not know.\nAnd that is the honest truth.

Well said and Bravo. I personally do not want to die, I want to go to the afterlife, but not their heaven.  I wanna go to my heaven, I want to drink a beer, and dance on the bar, I want to have bling, and be sexy again, and eat chocolate all day and never get fat or have bad skin, ... Hell no I don't want heaven, would you?

That would be different for everyone probably. What is worth dying for to me is if I had to die for My Lord Jesus. However next to that my childrens lives My families lives. If it were possible to take their place but other than that to me nothing in or of this world is worth dying for

Hmmm, well; I don't know the details but still I can not fathom why someone would be denied that if they were ready and willing to die for the benefit of their Country. Yes it is appalling, and I'm not Christian so perhaps I'm more open to this than a Christian would be; yet I've found many Christians to be quite reasonable so I find this somewhat baffling. I think I shall look into this a little more.

did it ever occur to anyone that what they believe will happen to them? i mean, if an atheist thinks that when they die, that's it, then that is probably what will happen to them. i'm just saying, if i die believing i'm gonna be a frog in my next life, it's MY belief, so it will be MY idea of the afterlife or heaven. it's the same as christians interpritation of heaven. some people think it's gonna be angels in diapers playing harps others think it's gonna be one big kegger...it's all depending on what you believe.

I would not want anyone to give their life up for me.\nI would die and give my life up for the people i love, most impotantly my children. I think their life is worth dying for. I"m not saying mine isn't because i'm sure to my family it is. I'd rather not have someone lose their life for me.\nI think Life is worth dying for, if you love your life. If you don't love it then you usually don't care or think you have anything to lose.

well areufair,\n\nAs you name dictates it you can veiw it as trying to be fair to other Gods. What makes you think your God is right. Because your parents told you and it sounds nice. Ask someone with a different denomination. You would be surprised how similar their feelings are for their God or Gods. It really is amazing what your brain can make you feel. Make sure what you feel is not your brain. With somehthing like faith well... you not have much choice of questioning, right? \n\nI can also think of a reason to believe in the Christian God. Because is you don't you are condemed to Hell but if you believe you are saved and you go to Heaven. Sounds a lot like the 12 Virgins you get when you suicide yourself doesn't it? All and all, I guess its a matter of choice wether you believe in God or you dont?\n\nA little advice... Don't kill yourself and be a good person wether you believe in God or you don't, it is possible you know.

1. I get fullness of life, love, and hope, even as an atheist. People of faith do not have a monopoly on happiness.\n\n2. I believe that you do not get "eternity in heaven," and that your core beliefs are based on misinformation.\n\n3. Assuming you are right, I would rather not go to heaven than to spend one day embracing the intolerance, prejudice, and hatred that goes hand in hand with the modern interpretation of Christianity.

Im an agnostic, I dont think you can prove an afterlife till you are there.  So yes, I live as if this is it and I think that is a much better way to live.  Life is precious.  It does make me sad that one day I will have to leave my children and one day they will also cease to exist, but that just makes my time with them more special.  \nIf everyone believed this though, you would be unlikely to get suicide bombers, as the selfish idiots do it thinking they will be rewarded, or people who waste their time sitting in church or various other pastimes designed to prep for the end of their life.  I feel sad when I see people waste so much time praying, but some people need to feel they have something to go onto, and if that helps them meet their end without fear, i suppose thats good.

Do you want to do the same ? Have you lost the will to live? Please try GOD.

Well, I used to wonder the exact same thing...\nUntil I realized I would never find answers that would PROVE everything. Do I believe in God, yes. But, I've come to realize the whole concept of heaven and hell is just to much for me. After all, nobody really knows what happens after death, only the people who experience it. So, I guess we'll all know when we get there. I hope and I believe there is a heaven...although the concept of living for all eternity, once again, is too much for me. This is just my experience with it all. \nMy advice...find which religion works best for you, have faith in that religion, live your life and enjoy it, and be the best person you can be. \nI hope that all made sense. It's starting to get late and I'm extremely tired. lol. I wish you the best of luck and may you find the journey best for you!

YEA to you!!!! I do not adhere to any religion, and feel I have a very solid moral base!!! I do not need the fear of heaven and hell, to know how to treat others and live a good caring, decent life!!!
