worth*…and for those I love, I would sacarifice myself if the situation insisted upon it.
Oh look, I’m first.
many things…it depends on the person.
Maybe for someone else to live. your beliefs. your country.
If you believe it with all your heart, and feel dying is the only thing you can do for it, then I can see it.
Yes, but if it really came down to it, I’m not sure I’d ever have the courage to.
your beliefs, someone you love, your country.
of course, being willing to die for something must never be confused with being willing to kill for something.
~Dani~
TRUE love. Faith. Lots of things, but personally, I can’t think of anything in particular that I would die for other than to keep my family alive.
Yes.
–End of Line–
Happiness first.
Two people I know.
Not a CAUSE per se, but I’d die for those people.
Other than that, meh…I wouldn’t die for any abstract ideals or personal belief systems.
yes.
Yes, as long as you trade up.
of course…but it’s up to the person to decide what those things are.
Yes! YesyesyesyesyesYES!!
yes.
I’d die for a couple of people. And I’d kill for alot of people.
for someone else i saspose..
yeah
Yes
To protect those I love I would, so yes, I would say so.
Something you would expect someone ELSE to die for, you should be willing to die for it too.
]Ideology is very fuzzy then, say, freedom, and seeds of freedom, to protect unborn babies, or the right for men to marry other men.
A crazed anti abortion protestor wanting so badly to stop the murder that they are willing to be the hand of god, which always ends badly for everyone, or inciting hatred by insulting people who state an ideology that can lead to the death of your peers, or standing up for a lover when you all make it perfectly clear in a straight venue, that you are there to display homo. Fight a fight you could have avoided, but the anger at having to not be open when breasts are being grabbed right in front of you… Or the deaths of 100,000s of thousands of people in Iraq, from this shore, that shore, many shores, so many dead thinking perhaps of mother in the last moments, and god and allah as much as you or I would.
Are any of these causes worth dying over?
How about burying someone you love who was willing to die?
Sounds like it leads to bitterness all over.
for someone you love
True love.
i wouldn’t die for my beliefs, but i would die for someone i love.
There are many causes worth dying for, but what they are varies from person to person.
-Guru on the Hill
Evidently, the love of God was great enough cause for Him to die in my place.
Love. Not mushy love but genuine “you are worth something” love. Perhaps not even a cause, just for someone.
It completely depends on who you are. Personally, it would be worth dying to save people I love.
nothing that i know of.
My home, my family, my beliefs. Absolutely.
yep
Yes, plenty.
Yeah, of course. Besides, all of yall worship the same guy anyways.
oops! i comment on the wrong post! my bad…
I don’t think I would be willing to die for something like “Save the rainforest!” or even “democracy” (such as it is). Nor would I consider dying because “my God is better than your God and to prove it I’ll let you kill me.” I’m not the martyr type.
However, I would give my life in an instant for a number of family members and close friends. I think that’s what really matters anyway.
Sticking up for my faith in Jesus.
Yes.
Love.
Yes.
And I think I want to change my answer to the last post. Previously I said ‘no’. That’s what I’d like to think would be the case. But in all reality, I think I would cave and say that I converted, but it would be a decision that I’d regret for the rest of my life.
I have no idea. i guess i would probably know that if i was put in the situation.
I MADE IT ON THE FIRST PAGE FOR ONCE! lol
But probably God since he died for me, im willing to die for Him
yes, i can think of many. most of these “causes” are people, but some are greater political causes.
Christ
if man has an ultimate purpose, then yes if not, then no
Depends on how passionate you are about any cause…there are things that are worth dying for to some people that would not be worth dying for to others.
There are many causes worth dying for. Military personel teach us that every day. So do the poilice and firefighters.
Other than protecting somebody I care about, then no.
Nah.
Well, maybe, I just can’t think of a reasonable answer right now.
I dunno, maybe.
i have a long list of causes i would die for, and of course i would die for the ones i love.
Yes: innocent people
no. would you rather live or die?
if you think about it, “sacrifice” is only “noble” because everybody THINKS it’s “noble”.
What is honour?
Absolutely, “greater love has no man but this, that a man lay down his life for his friend” I would give my life for my faith, friends, or family, not much else.
yes god, and the people i love, actually i would like to one day be so considerate of others that i would do anything for anyone but until then, just the afore mentioned things. luv ya and god bless
lol
yes most definatly i believe that the people u love((friends and family **not everyone in that**)) ur beliefs and ur country are definatly things that are worth dying for
Yes.
yes, many many things
I would say yes.
Dying for my faith is worth it. Jesus gave himself on the cross for me, and I hope and pray I’d be wiling to give my life for Him if I am called upon to do. I also hope that I’d be wiling to die to protect my family if need be.
I would risk my life in an attempt to preserve liberty.
Nope. None at all.
*so heartless*
heck yes there is!
No.
Well, I’d kill for a cause…
The cause I would die for is for selfish reasons. Put myself out of misery if needed.
But the only thing I can really say I would die for are my family,my faith and my freedom.
Worth dying for, yes. Worth killing yourself for, no.
For some people definitely…. and for anything I believed in with my life. It’s different for every person, though.
several
LOVE
there is a reason for each and every person in the world… sometimes… life itself is worth dying for…
ironically, life.
Philippians 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
That’s my answer.
yes
Truthfully? No, there isn’t. Dying means you leave the work undone. Martyrdom for a cause is absurd.
For life
Yes
…are you trapping us Dan?
Yes; but I couldnt’ list them out here; I wouldn’t know untill the situation arose.
honestly i think the question would be what cause is worth giving your life for.
My faith, my family, and my country (in that order).
It’s a touchy subject. Something one person says is worth dying for might not be what another person thinks.
Personally, my children. My future children, I mean. My parents have already lived.
And my husband. Future husband.
Yes
Absolutely. Lots of them I could think of.
FOR FREEDOM
Yes, for a loved one, for one’s livelihood.
Of course there is! Anything defending the name of Jesus Christ.
to feel absolutely alive…
Cause? Freedom. Not just yours, but a lot of people’s. A friend/loved one’s life. Any cause you deeply believe in. ANY cause. I mean, if you are passionate about animal rights, then sure, die for it, if you think it’s worth it, becaus that’s what matters, what YOU think.
for your friends and family and the sake of their happiness.
knowing I would be going to that wonderful place in the shy…..HEAVEN!
i don’t know, maybe some things in certain situations, but its always better to live for something you believe in than to die for it. its easy to die.
yep!
YES, MY SON. IF HE WERE IN HARMS WAY I WOULD SACRIFICE MYSELF FOR HIM IN A SPLIT SECOND.
anything worth living for….
i would die for my children without hesitation
since when were people causes?
Family…. or someone who I loved very much…
Maybe not
Islamic jihad?
Whatever or whoever you love
yes. Jesus.
u can ask me why if u disagree.
family and so close close friends
No.
If it would make a difference. I struggle with this kind of thing every day. Would dying for the cause actually do anything? Would anyone care? I see that people are saying their family. But, is family really a cause? When you say “cause”, I think of something like world peace or animal rights. Am I right??
ummmmmmmm……….Love?
It depends on the person.
I would say, yes. I would die for my best friend John and Kristin and Haylee… I love them so much that I would die for them. They mean a lot, and I think that will also show them how much I DO care. ^_^ Then also when I find my love then of course he will be on my list. But yes…
<3Jack!e
Yes, Jesus. He is also worth living for, so it all works out quite nicely in the end.
Yes, I believe so.
yes.
Only if you are going to take somone elses place
Jesus Christ seemed to think so.
Yep
Yes. I was scrolling through all of the answers, and they are all different answers, but ultimately they all point to the same thing… love. People are willing to die for people’s rights or animal’s rights or religion (islamic jihad), but if you really think about it, it’s because of their passionate love for these issues. Love.
what about you? what would you die for?
Quite a few, my Lord Jesus Christ being the first, also anyone I love. Actually, even more than that. If I had the strength of character, I’d die for anyone because I’m supposed to be willing to do that. I know in reality I probably wouldn’t, but I should.
-Jared
I would die for Jesus Christ without hesitation. He is the only thing worth living for, he’s worth dying for. Death on earth is not a end for me.
No… You wouldn’t live to enjoy the aftermath–if it was good.
I would die for anyone that I cared about… I would die to serve my God/Savior… and I would die if for some reason, my death meant the survival of humanity. lol… I doubt that would ever be the case though…
Of course.
Jesus Christ
yeah.. there are a lot of things and causes worth dying for.. the only thing to question is: are we brave enough?
not exactly a cause but i’d die for him.
To save people you love.
Your beliefs
To save the life of someone I love or to die for my belief in Jesus Christ. If you have nothing to die for, then you have nothing to live for.
Jesus…if you call Him a cause.
Yes. But the real question is…Do we have the balls to?
For some reason “love” come to my mind. I’m not sure how this makes sense to me though or why that is what came to me, but it did.
Yes, God, Faith, family, country and freedom.
Yes.
Faith Friends Family
And a whole lot more.
love?
God is worth dying for.
ironically, life is worth dying for.
yes
Because all people die
RYC: Not quite my back yard, but a few miles up the road
Christ
yeah i can think of quite a few things i’d give my life for
evidently there is
yes totally.
For anything you strongly believe in and love.
my Lord, my Savior. a death for Christ is not really a death. Christ killed death when He rose from the grave. “He lives that death may die”. i would die if my death meant that someone else would be free.
definatly.
Why, conservatism, of course.
Of course, unless you think little ol’ you are the center of the universe.
There are many, many things worth dying for silly.
No, there isn’t.
There might be causes worth KILLING for, though…
And yes, the little ol’ me, as well as every one of little ol’ you, are the center of the universe. Personal universes they are.
Many, and a few for killing too.
Everything I truely care about and love is worth fighting for (and hopefully that is metaphorical because I don’t really think “fighting” solves much), but I’m going to try not to die.
“if you have nothing to die for, than you have nothing to live for”
do you believe that?
all of your honor, your wife/husband
yes indeedy
Yes.
To me, my faith. God.
Maybe.
Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Dieing for the cause of Christ, dieing for a person I love, or even diein to save somebody else would be worth it.
A life without a cause worth dieing for is life better unlived.
My Kids
I’d die for my daughter. She’s the only cause worth dying for.
If there is nothing more important in life than life itself, then there’s really no point is there? And if there is something out there more important than life, then it makes sense that you would give your life for it, because it’s more important.
I would be willing to give my life if I knew it meant another would be spared.
I could die for my faith and the people closest to me.
life
to save my children
Yes. I would die for someone I love.
Yes, someone did that for me….
An easy decision to make when the need is hypothetical; a brave decision at the moment of reckoning. Firstly one must consider is one of more use to the cause alive than dead. If the answer is negative, then proceed if you have the intestinal fortitude.
I can see a possibility for such sacrifice in cases of children and other dearly loved.
your beliefs, someone you love, your country.
of course, being willing to die for something must never be confused with being willing to kill for something.
Even if the cause is worthy, you often don’t have to risk life and limb as much or at all if you think the better thing to do.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” — Albert Einstein
“Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” — Albert Einstein
Shouldn’t having to die for something be a last resort option? Such as when a house is on fire and your kids are still in it but you go in to get them ’cause you’re willing to take the risk? How often are we really in situations like that?
Well, I will die Cause I was born. Is that cause enough? Otherwise, just for something important to you. My important something would be my dearest love.
For my children, I would.
Of course. My family, my friends, my love.
“greater love has no man than that he lay down his life for his friend”
depends…
Yes indeed.
I changed my mind…new response (can you tell I was an overzealous student. )
“We’re the middle children of history man, no purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives.” -Tyler Durden of Fight Club
…and then the Iraq war happened.
I would die for a child.
Yes, for LOVE
I would die for my parents. They are the cause for my existence.
I would be willing to die if it protected large numbers of people–especially if that included people I care about.
yeah for world peace..
I understand your point on this one…and it is quite scary the way you’ve made me, and probably all of us think. Does the cause you are dieing for really matter or is the point that you are dieing for a cause? Are we, those who would die for loved ones, or something we believe in, no better than suicide bombers or the like? Interesting, and scary all the same. Thank you for once again causing me to think.
i think i candie for my country, for the beliefs that i have. i could die for a cause if i can do a bit to improve the situation. it depends from person to person
It’s a personal choice one what someone believes in. I’d die to get a good president back in the white house so that my fellow Americans don’t have to life with a christian, narrow minded, backwoods, illiterate, person. And I don’t mean to bash Christianity, but honestly, someone who runs the country off of his religious beliefs isn’t what we need, I was disappointed with the stopping of stem cell research, that could of cured some cancer, but we’ll never know… ever..
world peace?
Yes.
Everybody has something or someone they believe in that’s worth dying for. Maybe the rest of us can’t or won’t understand it but there is always something important enough to someone for that person to die for.
My faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And my un-saved friends…. sadly this includes my best friend.
yes.
everyone is going to die. One needs a better reason than human process.
I believe there are causes and people worth dying for.
indeed…
Yes…for those you love, if necessary.
I’d give my life for the abolition of death. But I think someone may have already done that…
To protect my children, yes.
I would die for people I loved without second thought. And, as inaudible_yelling put it, I’d also kill for those people, if necessary. Keep in mind that I’m normally a passive person.
In regards to your question yesterday in with today’s question, it is only worth dying for something/someone if it makes a difference. I don’t believe that dying for your religion would make much difference, in the case of your other post.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873)
Yes there are many things worth dying for
It all depends on the person, but it must be their choice. No one else can force them to give up their life for a cause they may or may not believe in.
Only if it would save someone else or several others from dieing.
Everything else can change without someone having to die.
The cause of Jesus Christ!
Phillipians 1:23
“To live is Christ, to die is gain.”
Yes, I could and would give my life for my child without thinking. I also would not hesitate to help someone in peril, even if the situation could cost me me my life.
Yes!
Life!
What is worth dieing for depends on the person. I think if I felt I no longer belong “here”, I would go ahead and kill myself(I almost did it before). I would also sacrifice myself if I knew for sure, that my death would help another to live.
if you truly belive in something, then yes, its worth dying for.
I don’t think there is a cause that I would consider dying for. If there was a certain person that I would be giving up my life for, then yes.
To protect those I love
Any cause worth living for is worth dying for!
Yea… Everything!!!
I’m not a martyr in any sense of the word so as far as beliefs, especially someone else’s, no, I would not. For my kids, I would not only die but kill as well if neccessary. Same goes for my husband, sister, nephew, & parents.
Plenty. But I don’t think there’s any cause that’s worth taking unwilling people with you.
LOVE!!!!
you should know there is.
yes
Absolutely, your faith, your family, what you believe in.If you aren’t willing to die for something why would you want to actually believe in something.
it depends on how much I value life at the moment.
God, your family, freedom…
yes
For someone that I love dearly and for my LORD and SAVIOR…he put me in this world so I choose to live and die for him.
yes period.
For my friends. And for my beliefs.
Everyone says yes.. but that’s all on the behalf of the living.
What would the dead have to say about this?
Well, if you believe that death is an ultimate undesirable, no. But there are those who would disagree. If someone threatened to kill me if I didn’t renounce Christianity, I would submit myself to death, because “To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” If I die, I’m going to heaven: I’m fine. But I couldn’t bear living with having spurned my saviour’s name.
I would die for some friends. “Great love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.”
Would I die for a country or a cause? It depends. I would not be willing to die in Iraq or Viet Nam or Korea for whatever causes sent our young men there. I would especially not be able to kill for those causes.
I don’t know.
I don’t think so. Maybe a cause worth killing for.
I would like to say I would die for my family or friends, education, or my faith, but somehow I’m not sure if I would have the courage to do so given the option. There are many things I would love to be, but I really don’t want to be a martyr.
Yes.
For my family….But not because some president said I should.
Yes anything…
i think so…
it is worth it to die to in order to save another or others, even if you don’t love them.
yes….family…….that’s about it. oh and your beliefs
the cause of Christ.
yea i would die for my friends and my boyfriend at the time.my family.yea there are reasons i would die.For the people i love.
now i would never die for George Bush.not in a million years.Bill Gates?/Sure why not?He would prolly give my family money for saving his life.
Cause? Nope. People? Yes. But honestly, I’d rather live.
Yes.
life is worth dying for.
My Jesus.
Any interesting question. The answer will most likely be different for everyone who reads it. It all depends on the value the reader places on certain things. Personally, if my friends and family were in a dire emergency and if I knew that sacrificing myself would save them, I would do it.
But that is also because of how I live my life. You can desribe me as an altruist, if you wish to. I would sacrifice my own well-being to boost that of another.
Once again, it is a difficult and personal question. You always get good answers though.
Yes, but everyone says that. The trick is haveing the courage to actually do it when it comes time.
yes, i would die for my loved ones and my faith
Of course. Freedom. Loved ones. Beliefs.
Oh, a whole bunch, all based on the greater good.
To protect those who need protecting…
“To live is Christ.” No, there is not one cause worth dying for, not ONE!
St. Paul was the one who said, To live is Christ, but to die is gain…” not Jesus Christ. It was one of Paul’s opinions that Christians should become martyrs, and die. Inmteresting that he continued to persecute Jesus after seeing Him in the UFO, and with all that light. He was not persuaded to cause the martrys to hide and keep themselves form death. Jesus gave Him no gift of respect for the life of Christians, at all, with Paul’s newfound religion bias. They were dying, on the cross! (See the correlation?) so that they may be like Jesus. Jesus had some funny quirks, and it was troubling to Christians, and they could not fathom why He did those things. One of them , was to sacrifice Himself for a cause He truely believed in, a formula, so to speak, that He would be the link that brought people to God the Father, and kept them free of sin,by forgiving them of it, totally, and allowing them to go freely. clean, and holy, without the bind of the rules and regulations of society that they had rejected as Law, but, that they were free to sin no more, by the faith that they would remain as clean as they suddenly loved to be, and had the power of Jesus’s help in time of temptation, that they not be tempted beyond what they could stand, and they would not sin, anymore.
Truth=Forgiveness+Light (Life)//www.thereisnoheaven@but.com: Eat, drink, and be merry, for today, death has no sting. Try again: try again: try again…GOOD LUCK! Know Jesus, let Him reveal Himself to you, and you will be happy, and not depressed any longer, because you will want to tell others the GOOD NEWS…that Jesus saves sinners to repentance. He has the power of good over evil, the highest power. There is nothing impossible with God.
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He that believeth on me shall not perish, but have everlasting life, and have it abundantly.
May it set us all free, here in the USA, where Xanga is, that we have the right of freedom of speech. Halleluia!
No, let us not die. Let us LIVE, and have others to live as well. The causes are ours to do within life, and not to be ending it, with the cause. Jesus had a cause, and He really believed that it would SAVE EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE WORLD WITH THIS FORMULA OF HIS DEATH ON A CROSS TO MAKE RIGHT THE WRONG OF SIN ENTERING THE HUMAN RACE, BEFORE AND AFTER His Father uttered the word, Jesus, that made Himself the Love that God sought for Himself and others, in those He knew He would make alive, at the beginning. He set up everyone’s DNA, when He devised the plan to make a happy fizzy party, of it all…” THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! It is good…”It is finished.”…What about you? THE SINNER”S PRAYER! Find a Christian, or a church building, whenh people are in it. They will know what you need to do. “Trust and obey…Says me.” … Love, Sandy
Only one.

But the only thing I can really say I would die for are my family,my faith and my freedom.
Worth dying for, yes. Worth killing yourself for, no.
For some people definitely…. and for anything I believed in with my life. It’s different for every person, though.
several
LOVE
there is a reason for each and every person in the world…
sometimes… life itself is worth dying for…
ironically, life.
Philippians 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
That’s my answer.
yes
Truthfully? No, there isn’t. Dying means you leave the work undone. Martyrdom for a cause is absurd.
For life
Yes
…are you trapping us Dan?
Yes; but I couldnt’ list them out here; I wouldn’t know untill the situation arose.
honestly i think the question would be what cause is worth giving your life for.
My faith, my family, and my country (in that order).
It’s a touchy subject. Something one person says is worth dying for might not be what another person thinks.
Personally, my children. My future children, I mean. My parents have already lived.
And my husband. Future husband.
Yes
Absolutely. Lots of them I could think of.
FOR FREEDOM
Yes, for a loved one, for one’s livelihood.
Of course there is! Anything defending the name of Jesus Christ.
to feel absolutely alive…
Cause? Freedom. Not just yours, but a lot of people’s. A friend/loved one’s life. Any cause you deeply believe in. ANY cause. I mean, if you are passionate about animal rights, then sure, die for it, if you think it’s worth it, becaus that’s what matters, what YOU think.
for your friends and family and the sake of their happiness.
knowing I would be going to that wonderful place in the shy…..HEAVEN!
i don’t know, maybe some things in certain situations, but its always better to live for something you believe in than to die for it. its easy to die.
yep!
YES, MY SON. IF HE WERE IN HARMS WAY I WOULD SACRIFICE MYSELF FOR HIM IN A SPLIT SECOND.
anything worth living for….
i would die for my children without hesitation
since when were people causes?
Family…. or someone who I loved very much…
Maybe not
Islamic jihad?
Whatever or whoever you love
yes. Jesus.
u can ask me why if u disagree.
family and so close close friends
No.
If it would make a difference. I struggle with this kind of thing every day. Would dying for the cause actually do anything? Would anyone care? I see that people are saying their family. But, is family really a cause? When you say “cause”, I think of something like world peace or animal rights. Am I right??
ummmmmmmm……….Love?
It depends on the person.
I would say, yes. I would die for my best friend John and Kristin and Haylee… I love them so much that I would die for them. They mean a lot, and I think that will also show them how much I DO care. ^_^ Then also when I find my love then of course he will be on my list. But yes…
<3Jack!e
Yes, Jesus. He is also worth living for, so it all works out quite nicely in the end.
Yes, I believe so.
yes.
Only if you are going to take somone elses place
Jesus Christ seemed to think so.
Yep
Yes. I was scrolling through all of the answers, and they are all different answers, but ultimately they all point to the same thing… love. People are willing to die for people’s rights or animal’s rights or religion (islamic jihad), but if you really think about it, it’s because of their passionate love for these issues. Love.
what about you? what would you die for?
Quite a few, my Lord Jesus Christ being the first, also anyone I love. Actually, even more than that. If I had the strength of character, I’d die for anyone because I’m supposed to be willing to do that. I know in reality I probably wouldn’t, but I should.
-Jared
I would die for Jesus Christ without hesitation. He is the only thing worth living for, he’s worth dying for. Death on earth is not a end for me.
No… You wouldn’t live to enjoy the aftermath–if it was good.
I would die for anyone that I cared about… I would die to serve my God/Savior… and I would die if for some reason, my death meant the survival of humanity. lol… I doubt that would ever be the case though…
Of course.
Jesus Christ
yeah.. there are a lot of things and causes worth dying for.. the only thing to question is: are we brave enough?
not exactly a cause but i’d die for him.
To save people you love.
Your beliefs
To save the life of someone I love or to die for my belief in Jesus Christ. If you have nothing to die for, then you have nothing to live for.
Jesus…if you call Him a cause.
Yes. But the real question is…Do we have the balls to?
For some reason “love” come to my mind. I’m not sure how this makes sense to me though or why that is what came to me, but it did.
Yes, God, Faith, family, country and freedom.
Yes.
Faith
Friends
Family
And a whole lot more.
love?
God is worth dying for.
ironically, life is worth dying for.
yes
Because all people die
RYC: Not quite my back yard, but a few miles up the road
Christ
yeah i can think of quite a few things i’d give my life for
evidently there is
yes totally.
For anything you strongly believe in and love.
my Lord, my Savior. a death for Christ is not really a death. Christ killed death when He rose from the grave. “He lives that death may die”. i would die if my death meant that someone else would be free.
definatly.
Why, conservatism, of course.
Of course, unless you think little ol’ you are the center of the universe.
There are many, many things worth dying for silly.
No, there isn’t.
There might be causes worth KILLING for, though…
And yes, the little ol’ me, as well as every one of little ol’ you, are the center of the universe. Personal universes they are.
Many, and a few for killing too.
Everything I truely care about and love is worth fighting for (and hopefully that is metaphorical because I don’t really think “fighting” solves much), but I’m going to try not to die.
“if you have nothing to die for, than you have nothing to live for”
do you believe that?
all of your honor, your wife/husband
yes indeedy
Yes.
To me, my faith. God.
Maybe.
Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Dieing for the cause of Christ, dieing for a person I love, or even diein to save somebody else would be worth it.
A life without a cause worth dieing for is life better unlived.
My Kids
I’d die for my daughter. She’s the only cause worth dying for.
If there is nothing more important in life than life itself, then there’s really no point is there? And if there is something out there more important than life, then it makes sense that you would give your life for it, because it’s more important.
I would be willing to give my life if I knew it meant another would be spared.
I could die for my faith and the people closest to me.
life
to save my children
Yes. I would die for someone I love.
Yes, someone did that for me….
An easy decision to make when the need is hypothetical; a brave decision at the moment of reckoning. Firstly one must consider is one of more use to the cause alive than dead. If the answer is negative, then proceed if you have the intestinal fortitude.
I can see a possibility for such sacrifice in cases of children and other dearly loved.
your beliefs, someone you love, your country.
of course, being willing to die for something must never be confused with being willing to kill for something.

Well said. I second that.
the truth
I would hope that I would have the guts to die for my faith. I think diying taking a bulet for someone is worth it.
yes
“So is there any cause worth dying for?”
Is that the best question? Ah, the art of asking questions!
Even if the cause is worthy, you often don’t have to risk life and limb as much or at all if you think the better thing to do.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” — Albert Einstein
“Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” — Albert Einstein
Shouldn’t having to die for something be a last resort option? Such as when a house is on fire and your kids are still in it but you go in to get them ’cause you’re willing to take the risk? How often are we really in situations like that?
Well, I will die Cause I was born. Is that cause enough? Otherwise, just for something important to you. My important something would be my dearest love.
For my children, I would.
Of course. My family, my friends, my love.
“greater love has no man than that he lay down his life for his friend”
depends…
Yes indeed.
I changed my mind…new response (can you tell I was an overzealous student.
)
“We’re the middle children of history man, no purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives.” -Tyler Durden of Fight Club
…and then the Iraq war happened.
I would die for a child.
Yes, for LOVE
I would die for my parents.
They are the cause for my existence.
I would be willing to die if it protected large numbers of people–especially if that included people I care about.
yeah for world peace..
I understand your point on this one…and it is quite scary the way you’ve made me, and probably all of us think. Does the cause you are dieing for really matter or is the point that you are dieing for a cause? Are we, those who would die for loved ones, or something we believe in, no better than suicide bombers or the like? Interesting, and scary all the same. Thank you for once again causing me to think.
i think i candie for my country, for the beliefs that i have. i could die for a cause if i can do a bit to improve the situation. it depends from person to person
It’s a personal choice one what someone believes in. I’d die to get a good president back in the white house so that my fellow Americans don’t have to life with a christian, narrow minded, backwoods, illiterate, person. And I don’t mean to bash Christianity, but honestly, someone who runs the country off of his religious beliefs isn’t what we need, I was disappointed with the stopping of stem cell research, that could of cured some cancer, but we’ll never know… ever..
world peace?
Yes.
Everybody has something or someone they believe in that’s worth dying for. Maybe the rest of us can’t or won’t understand it but there is always something important enough to someone for that person to die for.
My faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And my un-saved friends…. sadly this includes my best friend.
yes.
everyone is going to die. One needs a better reason than human process.
I believe there are causes and people worth dying for.
indeed…
Yes…for those you love, if necessary.
I’d give my life for the abolition of death. But I think someone may have already done that…
To protect my children, yes.
I would die for people I loved without second thought. And, as inaudible_yelling put it, I’d also kill for those people, if necessary. Keep in mind that I’m normally a passive person.
In regards to your question yesterday in with today’s question, it is only worth dying for something/someone if it makes a difference. I don’t believe that dying for your religion would make much difference, in the case of your other post.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873)
Yes there are many things worth dying for
It all depends on the person, but it must be their choice. No one else can force them to give up their life for a cause they may or may not believe in.
Only if it would save someone else or several others from dieing.
Everything else can change without someone having to die.
The cause of Jesus Christ!
Phillipians 1:23
“To live is Christ, to die is gain.”
Yes, I could and would give my life for my child without thinking. I also would not hesitate to help someone in peril, even if the situation could cost me me my life.
Yes!
Life!
What is worth dieing for depends on the person. I think if I felt I no longer belong “here”, I would go ahead and kill myself(I almost did it before). I would also sacrifice myself if I knew for sure, that my death would help another to live.
if you truly belive in something, then yes, its worth dying for.
I don’t think there is a cause that I would consider dying for. If there was a certain person that I would be giving up my life for, then yes.
To protect those I love
Any cause worth living for is worth dying for!
Yea… Everything!!!
I’m not a martyr in any sense of the word so as far as beliefs, especially someone else’s, no, I would not. For my kids, I would not only die but kill as well if neccessary. Same goes for my husband, sister, nephew, & parents.
Plenty. But I don’t think there’s any cause that’s worth taking unwilling people with you.
LOVE!!!!
you should know there is.
yes
Absolutely, your faith, your family, what you believe in.If you aren’t willing to die for something why would you want to actually believe in something.
it depends on how much I value life at the moment.
God, your family, freedom…
yes
For someone that I love dearly and for my LORD and SAVIOR…he put me in this world so I choose to live and die for him.
yes period.
For my friends. And for my beliefs.
Everyone says yes.. but that’s all on the behalf of the living.
What would the dead have to say about this?
Well, if you believe that death is an ultimate undesirable, no. But there are those who would disagree. If someone threatened to kill me if I didn’t renounce Christianity, I would submit myself to death, because “To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” If I die, I’m going to heaven: I’m fine. But I couldn’t bear living with having spurned my saviour’s name.
I would die for some friends. “Great love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.”
Would I die for a country or a cause? It depends. I would not be willing to die in Iraq or Viet Nam or Korea for whatever causes sent our young men there. I would especially not be able to kill for those causes.
I don’t know.
I don’t think so. Maybe a cause worth killing for.
I would like to say I would die for my family or friends, education, or my faith, but somehow I’m not sure if I would have the courage to do so given the option. There are many things I would love to be, but I really don’t want to be a martyr.
Yes.
For my family….But not because some president said I should.
Yes anything…
i think so…
it is worth it to die to in order to save another or others, even if you don’t love them.
yes….family…….that’s about it. oh and your beliefs
the cause of Christ.
yea i would die for my friends and my boyfriend at the time.my family.yea there are reasons i would die.For the people i love.
now i would never die for George Bush.not in a million years.Bill Gates?/Sure why not?He would prolly give my family money for saving his life.
Cause? Nope. People? Yes. But honestly, I’d rather live.
Yes.
life is worth dying for.
My Jesus.
Any interesting question. The answer will most likely be different for everyone who reads it. It all depends on the value the reader places on certain things. Personally, if my friends and family were in a dire emergency and if I knew that sacrificing myself would save them, I would do it.
But that is also because of how I live my life. You can desribe me as an altruist, if you wish to. I would sacrifice my own well-being to boost that of another.
Once again, it is a difficult and personal question. You always get good answers though.
Yes, but everyone says that. The trick is haveing the courage to actually do it when it comes time.
yes, i would die for my loved ones and my faith
Of course. Freedom. Loved ones. Beliefs.
Oh, a whole bunch, all based on the greater good.
To protect those who need protecting…
“To live is Christ.” No, there is not one cause worth dying for, not ONE!
St. Paul was the one who said, To live is Christ, but to die is gain…” not Jesus Christ. It was one of Paul’s opinions that Christians should become martyrs, and die. Inmteresting that he continued to persecute Jesus after seeing Him in the UFO, and with all that light. He was not persuaded to cause the martrys to hide and keep themselves form death. Jesus gave Him no gift of respect for the life of Christians, at all, with Paul’s newfound religion bias. They were dying, on the cross! (See the correlation?) so that they may be like Jesus. Jesus had some funny quirks, and it was troubling to Christians, and they could not fathom why He did those things. One of them , was to sacrifice Himself for a cause He truely believed in, a formula, so to speak, that He would be the link that brought people to God the Father, and kept them free of sin,by forgiving them of it, totally, and allowing them to go freely. clean, and holy, without the bind of the rules and regulations of society that they had rejected as Law, but, that they were free to sin no more, by the faith that they would remain as clean as they suddenly loved to be, and had the power of Jesus’s help in time of temptation, that they not be tempted beyond what they could stand, and they would not sin, anymore.
Truth=Forgiveness+Light (Life)//www.thereisnoheaven@but.com: Eat, drink, and be merry, for today, death has no sting. Try again: try again: try again…GOOD LUCK! Know Jesus, let Him reveal Himself to you, and you will be happy, and not depressed any longer, because you will want to tell others the GOOD NEWS…that Jesus saves sinners to repentance. He has the power of good over evil, the highest power. There is nothing impossible with God.
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He that believeth on me shall not perish, but have everlasting life, and have it abundantly.
May it set us all free, here in the USA, where Xanga is, that we have the right of freedom of speech. Halleluia!
No, let us not die. Let us LIVE, and have others to live as well. The causes are ours to do within life, and not to be ending it, with the cause. Jesus had a cause, and He really believed that it would SAVE EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE WORLD WITH THIS FORMULA OF HIS DEATH ON A CROSS TO MAKE RIGHT THE WRONG OF SIN ENTERING THE HUMAN RACE, BEFORE AND AFTER His Father uttered the word, Jesus, that made Himself the Love that God sought for Himself and others, in those He knew He would make alive, at the beginning. He set up everyone’s DNA, when He devised the plan to make a happy fizzy party, of it all…” THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! It is good…”It is finished.”…What about you? THE SINNER”S PRAYER! Find a Christian, or a church building, whenh people are in it. They will know what you need to do. “Trust and obey…Says me.” … Love, Sandy
Only one.
“your beliefs, someone you love, your country.
of course, being willing to die for something must never be confused with being willing to kill for something.”
Good comment. I agree.
Posterity.
no. why do we have emotions is the question I ask. we’d be better off without them.
Drum corps!
