Friday is International Conscientious Objectors' Day. To mark this, we're asking: are there are beliefs worth dying, or killing for?
Soldiers, of course, must be prepared to kill in the name of their country, its values or strategic interests. Conscientious objectors hold that no cause can be worth the taking of a life. Do you agree? And if not, can you envisage circumstances in which you would be prepared to die, or take a life, for a belief, religious or otherwise? Or is it right to die, perhaps even to kill, for the sake of people you love, but never for the sake of an idea? Even the idea that no one should ever be made to die for an idea?
