I pretend lots of things, every day. I even sometimes lie unfortunately. I do hold that my principles of earning your way through life is my response to the OP. And in the other example, I also hold that my principles to be an example to others in my Chrisitan walk would be enough to allow my family to die. Is there something I need to explain about that or does that answer the OP question and intent?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
