In the sense of your question, no. When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, he was taken to a high cliff and told to . Satan delibarately misquoted Psalms saying angels would rescue him and not let his feet touch the ground. Jesus said it was written not to test God. We are to value life.
That said, being to true follower of Christ is dangerous. Mark 13: 13 shows because of following a true Christian life, they would be "objects of hatred". John 15: 18-19 Jesus said because true Christians are no part of the world, the world would hate them as they hated Jesus. That is because the ruler of this world is Satan (1John 5: 19) God would never mess things up this badly. So, yes, persecution, imprisionment, and executions because of our faith might be considered living dangerously. Even Jesus, as a human, just before his arrest and execution prayed 3 times to God asking for loopholes; but he also recognized he had made a decision to do God's will and said so 3 times.

Not unless they are in some kind of cult. Christians value all life. Theirs and others. We read that God gives life and only he should take it. Maybe you are thinking of martyrdom. Yes a Christian will die rather than deny Christ. Other than that ,no ,we are living our lives out till our time to pass over comes just like everyone else.God Bless.

What's funny is that many of the more fundie Christians will tell you this world is a 'Vale of Tears', and that they can't wait to be reunited with Jesus in Heaven. Yet, when they're on their deathbeds, they'll cling to life very stubbornly, even if they're in serious pain.
More proof that there's a humogous gap between what people profess and what they truly believe deep down...

I don't think so. The other day I was behind some one with a whole bunch of "I love Jesus" stickers on their car. They were a good 5 miles under the limit, and they had their blinker on at all the right times.
I was so annoyed, it was like he was afraid of the road.

I drive on the roads in the USA, I would say that is a bit reckless around these parts! and my DH is a crop duster... now HE is a little on the crazy side. But, we know that when it is our time, it is our time and it matters not what we are doing, we will go when it is time!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And again I say NOOOOOOOO!
Life is to be taken as a precious gift and not to be taken lightly or frivoluously.
They should live life respectfully and for as long as possible so as to do as much good as possible while they are here.

This life that we have been given is a gift from God and I treat it as such. I will meet God when my time on earth is thru and not until then, God will decide when my time on earth is done. Just as He decides when everyone's time is done
