From: "Gary Britt" 

If you have things that are worth fighting and dying for, then you have
beliefs that are worth fighting for and dying for.  The things = beliefs. 
I think you are hung up on a very restricted definition of beliefs.  I
believe the original question was along the lines of is there not anything
you believe in that's worth fighting and dying for?  You originally
answered no, now you seem to say yes.  What are the "things" you
think are worth fighting and dying for?
