Absolutely NOT! In a heartbeat I would lay down my earthly life for Him as He did for me. He did it first. He owns my life and my being. I WILL NOT be guilty of ever denying Him before men, as to do so He would deny me before His Angels and The Father. Great question! PEACE!!!

It would depend on how late in life it was. If I'd done what I wanted to do, made a difference in the world and got at least half a dozen novels published, I think I might like to go out with a bang, as a hero, as opposed to going out with a whimper like most of us ultimately will, or be thought of as a coward. Right now? I wouldn't have the guts, I'm sorry to say. You make a good point, though. You can't change the world if you're dead. That's really all that kept the Apostle Paul going. Dude got stoned like... four times. And survived...

No I wouldn't. If I was sentenced to die for speaking it then I would be going to the place that I have longed for. I am not scared of dying. If you truly believe then you aren't scare and would be happy to be put to death for it. Just try to get the word out as much as possible until they put you down. You know you will go to a better place.

There would be no need to.
There are several examples in the Bible to include the best one:
Christ Jesus.
Here are two from Nazi Germany:
WOLFGANG KUSSEROW was one of those put to death because he maintained faithfulness to God and refused to support Nazism. Shortly before he was beheaded on March 28, 1942, he wrote his parents and siblings: “Now, as your third son and brother, I must leave you tomorrow morning. Do not be sad, for the time will come when we will be together again. . . . How great our joy will then be, when we are reunited! . . . Now we have been torn apart, and each of us must stand the test; then we will be rewarded.”
Shortly before his execution on January 8, 1941, Johannes Harms wrote in a final letter to his father: “My death sentence has already been announced and I am chained both day and night—the marks (on the paper) are from the handcuffs . . . My dear father, in spirit I call to you, remain faithful, as I have attempted to remain faithful, and then we will see each other again. I will be thinking of you up until the very last.”
What if a Witness is threatened with death? Well, Jehovah’s Witnesses have unshakable confidence in God’s ability to restore them to life. (Acts 24:15) So Witnesses have the same attitude as did three young Hebrews in ancient Babylon. When threatened with death in a fiery furnace, they told King Nebuchadnezzar: “If it is to be, our God whom we are serving is able to rescue us. . . . Let it become known to you, O king, that your gods are not the ones we are serving, and the image of gold that you have set up we will not worship.”—Daniel 3:17, 18.
Thus, as noted earlier, when Hitler began to climb onto his pedestal as a self-appointed god, an ideological battle was inevitable. The Third Reich, sword drawn, found itself face-to-face with a tiny band of Jehovah’s Witnesses who had sworn loyalty to the true God, the Almighty God, Jehovah. Even before the battle began, however, the outcome was decided.

I'm with you! I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. Jesus died for me and gave me eternal life which is something I could have never done for myself in a trillion years... why on earth would I turn my back on Him by fearing man more than God.

I would never deny my God, the Son or the Holy spirit for any reason whatever. May God bless you with health, happiness, peace, and prosperity. I send this blessing to my family every night.

Yes, I would like to think that I would gladly lay down my life to be faithful to God and Jesus Christ.
So how can we hate muslims for feeling the same way?
They don't all agree with what the extremists are doing.
We have religious extremists in this country I don't agree with.

No. But then, I am not a Christian, but a Pagan.
Sorry, but my god is the God of Life. In my religion we don't celebrate blood, sacrifice, and death. We celebrate passion, wisdom, and growth. To die over a word, or live to fight another day? There is no contest. Only a fool would reject the life Goddess gave him over a mere triviality.
