Honestly?

Not right now (I'd like to spend a little more time in the already short life we all have on Earth). Enough have died already for the cause of religion, in the holy wars and crusades and the wars of today in the Middle East. I think the world is too sensetive about religion, which leads to inevitable disputes and unavoidable wars and casualties. Thus being so, if I were to die, or any of us, were to die for our religion...what good would it do? What effect would it have on the actual confrontations and bigger disputes that are occurring across the globe? If you ask me, it would only bring sorrow (or honor and pride) to your family and friends. If it were an actual war (I'm confused about this part), like fighting for the religious rights of your country, then it would be honorable to die. But honestly, millions have died already for the sake of religion...and look where we are now; still in a big war that will mount to nothing and has mounted to nothing for hundreds of years.

Yes I would die for my beliefs because I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Lord & Savior. I know that from God's Holy Word that I have a home in heaven. In the Bible it says in John 3:3 (KJV) that "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God". God also promises that in Romans 10:13 (KJV) that "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". That is how anyone will get to heaven. It is a free gift. God's Word is truth.

That's a difficult question for me to ask while sitting in the comfort of my home. I could glibly answer "yes," but I've never been in a situation where my life was in jeopardy because of my beliefs. I hope and pray that, if I ever am in such a situation, I would be willing to die for Jesus, because he died for me.
By the way, since the first Christian martyr Stephen, over 100 million Christians have given their lives for their faith in Jesus Christ. (I think the figure is actually closer to 200M).

Yes I would die for Jesus right now!!! If it was my time to go!! Yes, no doubt in my mind I would never turn from Jesus...I couldn't after all he has done for me...If you seen Jesus and not the world you would understand,but you try to sit in this world and believe the things of this world,when there is God out there..There is more to this world than sitting and waiting to die...

Yes. My beliefs are more than concepts I adhere to; they are a belief in a person, Jesus, and for Him I would die.

No. I'd fight to defend the beliefs that free people share, but I would try not to die, because death would hinder my ability to fight. I'm sorry, but I immediately distrust people who ask me to die for a belief.

I would prefer to live for my belief, bu if necessary
Acts 5:29 In answer Peter and the [other] apostles said: “We (I)must obey God as ruler rather than men.

Depends on the situation.
I'm not Christian at all, or Jewish, or Muslim, etc.
I'm pretty much an agnostic, but I have some ideas that I stand firmly on.
I would probably die for civil rights.
