Would you kill for what you believe in?

Question

If things came down to it...

Answer 1

Why of course....everyone would. It's called self-preservation.

Answer 2

Killing someone for an idea, or belief ?
Killing someone for ideological reasons?
Killing someone for political reasons or ambition?
In Europe, people were sometimes tied to a stake and roasted alive for what they or others believed.
In Europe people were rounded up, sent to concentration camps and either exterminated out right or worked and starved to death, because of an ethos. This happened in China, Russia, and sadly more recently in the Balkins and is happening in the Middle East. If things came down to it... I think I would find some movies at Blockbuster, and order a pizza.
I am not saying I may not be capable of killing, but it would be in self defense or to protect others from a real threat, not for what I believe in. At that great a price, I can do with out beliefs.

Answer 3

Most definitely, but only as it applies to the saving of other lives. I believe in my family and my community so I would kill to protect what I believe in. People who kill for religious beliefs or political beliefs I feel are not quite so justified. Wrapping one's head in a heat filled environment might heighten the possibility of that happening. "My humor" Never-the-less be careful of how far you'll go (or whether you'd kill) for what you believe in because it's always possible that what you believe in now could be improved upon in your future...that's a whole other story...so take care...

Answer 4

I wonder how many people would be willing to kill animals so they could eat meat.

Would I kill for something I believe in? I'm pretty passive. I guess I would kill in defense.

Answer 5

This is a loaded question. What I mean by that is this, I think that people should die for killing other people ( under certain circumstances ) so in that case yes.

I however would not kill someone myself unless I or someone I loved was being hurt and I needed to protect them or myself.

Answer 6

Although there is always special circumstances in everything I can't think of why you would have to kill someone because of your belief???

I would not kill anyone because I believe in god however I would kill anyone who tried killing me because I believe in god that's not murder that's self defense!

Answer 7

Let's see: I can legally use lethal force in my state to protect me and mine....and I'd do it without a second's notice. I'd kill to protect my country from armed invasion. I'd kill to survive in times of famine or civil unrest. Would I kill over philosophical differences? I haven't thus far.

Answer 8

No because if we all went around killing people for what we believed in then there would be chaos. You wouldn't be able to walk the street without someone coming after you for "following their beliefs". That's what pisses me off about terrorists that kill in the name of Allah. What they are too stupid to understand is that when you kill someone to prove a point, you only end up invalidating your point. It's only blockheads who lack eloquence and resourcefulness that have to resort to murder.

Answer 9

It depends on what the beliefs were if it was for protection or safekeeping of family you bet ! but everyone has things they believe in so it would have to be for something along the lines of protection not just for the sake of killing if everyone killed over there beliefs we'd all be in trouble!

Answer 10

My belief is that if you kill yourself you will go to Hell. So no, I won't kill myself for what I believe in.

Answer 11

I believe in living, so if someone was trying to kill me.... yes, I would definitely kill :)
