Would you rather convert or die?

So say that one day the Necromongers roll into town, or ISIS sets up their caliphate or some other shitty scenario. You are rounded up into your village hall, where a deacon gives you all the choice, you can convert to this religion/sect or you can be executed.

It's a quick clean death, as far as executions go. Bullet to the back of the head, high calibre so you won't be surviving it.

Do you convert to this new religion and survive or do you spit at the deacon and tell him and the rest of his kind to find an inventive way of performing congress with their mothers?

Spoiler

This isn't a part of the Haram jokes, forced conversions are abhorrent and that goes without saying. I'm just curious as to what sort of convictions people here hold <.<

Spoiler

Honestly, I'd probably just convert. I value my life more than objecting to paying lip service to some deity that might not exist. If I was religious, I expect that I'd have stronger feelings about this though or if I was a hardline atheist I might too <.<

die (non martyr) out of spite. fuck you, you cant tell me how to live.

One part of me would say spit in their face. My twisted side would say hide that. Wait until the right moment and then turn on them as an imposter. Pride should never stand before intelligence.

And that's ISIS's weak spot.

You could do so much damage to them if you put your pride on hold. Converted. And then attacked when you had the cards in your hands.

Can I just convert and then run away somewhere else?

I'll die, thanks. The point of my life is not to enable the new brand of fascism.

Convert. Can't roll with the underground resistance if you're dead.

If it's something cool like the Necromongers or The Covenant and I get cool new powers/weaponry then yeah sure.

But if they're mudslimes I'll take my bullet like a fucking man.

Convert. Then find a way to fight back. Whats the point of dying when you can cleanse them later with several pounds of explosive.

Convert. I don't have to believe in their whatever to live.

Martyr me

For Cordis Die

Meh. I'd pay lip service, but they can't exactly force me to believe something. Something as silly as a public label isn't worth ending your life over.

It depends. If we're just talking about putting on a show or being subservient to a tyrant, fine, but I wouldn't submit to any sort of brainwashing à la 1984.

Bye-bye.

What's life worth at that point? Something tells me they wouldn't take kindly to being lied to, either.

 Uhhhh convert obviously. I'm no good to anyone dead. I'd just be putting my own pride before anything else if I chose to die. If I converted then I could like Das mentioned, live to fight another day.

You work on extradition, that's what you do. Sing the song and dance while you're in danger, then do whatever later. If all I have to do is pay lip service to the religion, why should I care? Being where I lived in the South for the past few years, I had to pretend to be a hardcore Christian or face being a pariah. Been there, done that; it's not as God awful as it sounds.

There are simply some things that I'm not willing to compromise. And again, I'm just saying, since we're dealing with Islam here, I would think you'd have to commit a little bit more to the religion than just lip service. If it is, then sure, but... that's simply too big of an assumption when we're talking about some of the most violent and repugnant zealouts out there.

You're not just compromising your free speech here--you're compromising your life either way.
I'd rather be dead.

It being "not as godawful" as it sounds isn't really the point.

If it was rastafarianism, maybe I'd understand...

I also don't know what the hell a necromonger is, but I assumed it had something to do with Islam...

Edit:
I guess not. Ummm. Whatever, then. If it's Islamic extremists, then yeah, peace out.
If it's... I don't fucking know. I hate vague questions.

the youtube vid is more to the point Psy is trying to make.

If my life would be forcibly changed as a result of conversion, then hello martyrdom.

I assume by "convert," you mean "convert". As in, actually change your life in accordance to the religion?
So, lip service wouldn't be an option anyway. You wouldn't be able to lie, because that's not a true conversion.

It's convert or die--those were the options given.

Okay, yeah, fuck that shit.

convert and infiltrate

I can't put myself in the scenario where I am in some silly village in Middle East. Honestly, I am not sure whether I would suicide, or be killed. Probably I'd pick either option in the heat of the moment.

Necromonger was a bit of a joke.

They are from the Riddick universe, a massive army that rampages through the universe converting everyone in their path (Or killing them) until they reach the 'underverse'. Obviously we wouldn't have something like that appear in our world, hence the ISIS caliphate comparison as well.

Praise the Lord Marshal!

Convert, prepare better for next time, denounce and counter-attack.

If it's from an advance race that'll give cool shit then I'll convert, but if it's a bunch of sand niggers like ISIS then I'll die
