Interesting responses you all have given. For myself, I'd choose number 3. Proving a loving God's existence would logically take care of any other problem.
We'd have religious nut jobs (like we do now) killing each other trying to impose their view on how this loving God should properly be worshipped. Sad, I know...
Re: Which one of these causes would you be most likely to die for?
Originally posted by Normal Guy ]1. Ending world hungerWhen you have more people than a planet can support there will always be hunger
2. Same sex marriage.
I don't believe in same sex marriage. But then I don't believe that anymarriage should be recognized by society
3. Proving the existence of the Christian God.
What about the Hindu gods, or the pagan gods? I do think Brooke Burke is a goddess. Seriously, man created god(s).
4. Disproving the existence of Christian God.
Despite the overwhelming evidence that much of the bible is false over 2 billion people believe it is true meaning no matter what proof is presented some people won't accept it.
5. Proving Evolutionary theory.
See above, though in reverse
6. Bringing about world peace.
Never happen, it's not in our nature
7. Finding a cure for all terminal diseases.(aids, cancer, etc)
Since micro organisms evolve much faster than macro organisms there will always be terminal diseases. Even if it were possible, which it isn't, to cure most terminal diseases it'll never happen. It's too profitable to "treat" such diseases until the patient dies.
8. Animal Rights.
The most wotrthy cause on this list, but people don't care in the end
9. Your own self interests.
The one 90% of people will choose in the end
And explain why you would choose the one cause over the others.
Since my death would change none of the above, i choose to live as long as I can.
1. Ending world hunger
Theres more alternatives to fixing this than dying.
2. Same sex marriage.
Im not dying for a cause that I dont care about/doesnt involve me.
3. Proving the existence of the Christian God.
Ditto.
4. Disproving the existence of Christian God.
Ditto.
5. Proving Evolutionary theory.
Ditto.
6. Bringing about world peace.
Not really, all it takes is one idiot to start a fight and your death is meaningless.
7. Finding a cure for all terminal diseases.(aids, cancer, etc)
This one, only if the circumstance was that my death somehow cured the world instantly.
8. Animal Rights.
Err..no.
9. Your own self interests.
Dont have any to die over, unless it was to keep someone else alive😬

Not really, what about the millions of others who dont believe in that particular god and follow other religions? Im sure they'll be a bit pissed...plus, whose to say the christian god is the one to be proven to exist?

I agree. I have an obsession with noise pollution and with other people disturbing the peace and not considering whether other people want to listen to their noise or not.
The wise seek tranquility and calm.
I'm not sure if it's worth dying for though. But poeple think with their hearts and not their minds. I think when it comes to my wife or daughter I will die for them.
