Materialistically, there is nothing truly worth dying for. On the other hand, I'd die to protect the people I love and care about.

I consider all religion detrimental to the human race as a whole, as such the only thing I'd willingly die for is the complete removal of all religious inclinations from the individual and collective psyche of humankind.

Actually, that all depends on how you define immortality and/or living. Achilles arguably gave his life for immorality.
Read what you wrote very carefully, and know that it made me laugh.

"There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for." - Tom Wolfe

I would give my life for my special one and my dearest friends. Other than that, I don't have any concepts I'd consider worth ending this existence for. It may be a crappy life, but unless it's to save someone I love, it's worth more than anything.

The two sentences may be non-sequiters but are true nonetheless.

I'd say that my family, some of my friends, and high minded concepts like 'freedom' are worth dying for.

The thing is, I'm not going to die for them. At the end of the day my instinct for self-preservation (i.e. cowardice) is going to be stronger.

It might be cowardly, dishonourable and all kinds varieties of immoral you can think up, but at the end of the day I am the center of my own world and life, and I only have one.

So, yes. While I may certainly help/intervene in specific cases with risk of injuring myself, I will definately not die for it.

Nothing.

Now, before people think I'm some heartless soulless bastard, let me clarify.

I'm worth far more alive than dead - no matter what the potential cause (i.e. loved one, country, etc), so if I die, I've failed. So no, nobody or nothing is worth dying for, but there are plenty of things worth fighting for, and plenty of people who's life is worth less than whatever cause that might be.

I admit, there might be a little bit of unwarranted self importance, but I figure if I'm in a position where I would honestly be dying for something - that something has a much higher chance of being accomplished if I don't die.

to quote one of my favorite bands:

And I would lay down my life to birth a new generation of a righteous culture.
To a people I could proudly love and cherish.
For that's all I've ever asked for and been deprived of.
Not a tear for those of flesh
Not a stayed hand for a world that prostitutes itself.
Not a minute more of degeneration.
also my friends and family, of course. but thats a little overdone.

Quite a few things are worth dying for, art, scence, politics, whatever. Anything that will outlast yourself.

I think a more interesting question is what's worth killing for.

Only one person, but come to think of it, they wouldn't listen to a dying wish so, screw it, nothing is worth dying for.

The death of religion.
Dude, NOT cool. Now i'm not religious or anything, but this is crossing the line.
Why? Why should religion be such a taboo subject?

Anyway, no i don't think i would die for anything. And i don't care what other people think about that.
