By the way, I believe in the old Norse-Viking stuff to an extent. At least the honor in battle stuff. Hail! Hail! Hail and Kill!

Martyr. A warrior fought to the death for his religion, I am a pacifist and I dont think fighting is an honorable thing to do in the name of a religion. Whereas martyrdom is giving up your life without a fight for the sake of your religion. I think that is much more honorable.

The most noble are the ones that bring Peace for Religion.
Some become Martyrs in the process.
I would rather be a Martyr.
Peace and God Bless

I prefer martyrs, because they don't bother anyone really. Warriors are by their nature confrontational, and therefore annoying.
Oddly enough I'm more of a warrior. A contradiction, go figure.

I think the greatest honor would be to NOT die for your religion at all, but continue living, doing good works, helping to make the world a better place. Dying is easy, living is harder.

I prefer both. It takes allot of courage to be a martyr,and a lot of strength to be a warrior.

A martyr. Definitely.
There is no saintly category for "Warrior".

Warrior, going down fighting, the bodies of your slain enemies gushing out their life's blood around you, hearing the cries of their women and children as they vainly beg for mercy.

I like Patton's saying, "War is not about dying for your country. It's about getting the other bastard to die for his country."
Religions are false. I would only kill to keep from being oppressed by them.
