I'm a naturalist, I don't in any way endorse dying or killing for religious reasons but I'm interested to know how far anyone here might go for their faith or religion.

Atheist, no faith to die for. No Gods to kill for.

I have asked myself this question before, and honestly I could not answer it since I have never been faced with it. I would never kill, but would I die for my faith I would like to think I would. I have read and heard of how many christians was killed by Nero and I wondered would I do the same as they did.

Christian:
Yes, I would die for my faith.
As for killing, that is a little more difficult to answer. Christianity does not require or ask that we kill those who speak out against it or attack it. On the other hand, Christianity does require that we obey the laws of those who govern over us as long as those laws do not conflict with the commandments of Christ. As a result, I might be asked to sit on a death penalty jury or fight in a war or defend my family from those who would do them harm.

Die for, yes... many have followed Christ to the point of leaving this wretched mortal flesh behind. Dogma is not worth fighting, especially killing over. Regeneration, (sonship of God) is initiated by God, carried out by God, and yes even maintained by God. Why would I kill a heart that I don't feel has yet been illuminated by the Holy Spirit?

If I could get away with it I'd consider executing a Christian evangelical just for fun because they disgust me so much. I'd consider beating a creationist to death with a sledge hammer but in my entire life I've never actually met one- they only seem to exist in cyber space.
