Jesus died for me, so I'm willing to do the same in return.

Is there anything important enough for you to die for?
Yes, Jesus died. If the Bible is really true, your death will be immediately followed by everlasting life in heaven, and dying is no real sacrifice on your part. His either if you think about it. But if not, you just lost you life, and nothing was accomplished for anyone whatsoever. So the pragmatist in me suggests you deny, and live another day.
As for whether there's anything I'm willing to die for, I hope the answer would be my family, but I can't be sure I really would until I'm faced with the actual choice. Talk is cheap. Doing is harder.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
