First of all you should always say you do. In 1999 Columbine High School students were asked this and 13 students died. So remember to always believe in what you belive in.

If someone with a gun asked me that, I think I would probably say something like, "Well, what do you believe? Tell me about it."

Columbine is a tragedy that should never have happened. But the human mind can become a dark, uncharted territory more dangerous than any jungle. I think you'd know you were going to die in a situation like that more than likely. Yes, I would have declared my belief in God irregardless. I hope the wielder of that gun is facing God now and learning to understand that killing others is no solution to any problem!

If you truly believe in God, then the circumstances, gun or not, won't matter. Faith is not an abitrary, changing thing. It is something which can withstand even the most brutal of circumstances.
Many people in history have declared their belief in God while being nailed to crosses, having their entrails ripped out, and many other much more gruesome tortures.
If someone changes their answer in the face of adversity, then it was only a belief of convenience, not true faith.

Let me get this straight. Your school told you to tell people you believe in god if someone threatens you with a gun? Where the hell do you go to school? I can think of about 20 things that are illegal about what they did.
And I don't believe in god. So I should tell them what I believe, right?
Oh, and the other kids under the table with that girl say that the story is complete bullshit made up by her parents. They would know, wouldn't they?

This is presuming that you know the answer the gunman is
looking for...I have never heard this story before..
Are you certain of its truth ?
What were the students supposed to have said ?
All the 13 students probably said "yes" if it is a true story and
is verifiable..
Does this mean that should have said "no" ??

This occurance happened to Cassie Bernall at Columbine. You should read the book She Said Yes. It is her biography written by her mother Misty Bernall. Also, the Michael W. Smith song "This is your Time" was written about her. It will bring you chills and tears.

remember to believe in what you believe? I find there to be a problem here. not everyone believes in god, so what you are saying is a contradiction. always say you do believe in god even though you don't, but still believe in what you believe. doesn't make sense.

If you refuse to stand up for God on earth, Jesus will deny you on judgement day. If it really came down to it, life wouldn't matter if I was dying for a reason.

I would say yes, because it is true. I wouldn't want the shame and guilt that I would feel for denying God, and for lying.

Dying for your beliefs when your religion isn't in trouble doesn't make you a martyr. That's pride-driven suicide.
