Religion blows my mind
If you and I are pals, and I'm having to carry a cross to the other side of town so that some Guido can nail me to it and leave me to die, and some guy says to you, "Hey aren't you ballscaster's buddy? Shouldn't you be helping him carry that since you're his best friend?" and you say, "No, I don't know that guy," then you're a dick, and the first thing I tell God when I get to Heaven will be, "Let me know what it's going to take to make sure ReauxlTide222 burns for all eternity. I can't believe he dicked me over like that."
Now, if I'm staring down a barrel, and Derka tells me that his #1 hobby is shooting Christians in the face with his gun, and he asks me what religious faith I practice, I'm going to say whatever gets me out of that room and back home with my family BECAUSE I'M NOT RETARDED.

To you it's different. To that man denying his religion wasn't an option. Alot of Christians believe that denying your faith; however slight, is a sin worthy of damnation. You can laugh at that notion, but it's what they believe.

Telling a crazy person that I'm not Christian so the crazy person doesn't shoot me isn't denying knowing Jesus.
According to the Bible they are one in the same

What Peter did was throw his friend under the bus to get himself out of a jam. That is much different from avoiding engaging with an insane person with a gun pointed at you.
Jesus had already been arrested, Peter's actions didn't have an effect on Jesus. If Peter would have confirmed that he was a follower of Jesus, then he too would have been arrested and killed, likely by crucifixion. I'm not sure why you seem so fixated on the weapon of choice and the mental health of the aggressors when the outcome would have been the same.
ETA: It might not seem "rational" to non-Christians, but this is what we believe.

Do you actually believe that these crazy frickers running around playing islamic jeopardy were NOT going to shoot this guy? He was Christian and chose to answer honestly. Chances he could have answered their jeopardy question was likely small so he probably would have been killed anyway.

in a religion where rules are made up on the fly, I think jesus would have let that one little lie go in order to protect his wife and stay alive.
just my opinion.

The verse, in it's context, is bat shite crazy. I could tweak it and use it in my everyday life, hell, that's exactly what I do.

You're right there, I don't understand your arbitrary distinctions on martyrdom for a religion you don't practice.

I doubt there was much of a dialogue. sounds like they were asking one question, are you a muslim or not?

quote:Not an unfair point. If the writing is on the wall, might as well suck it up. My point is that if you're in a situation where you're asked whether or not you like Animaniacs, and at stake with your answer is you getting gang-raped by child prisoners, you do what you have to do to not get gang-raped. Likewise, if your get-out-of-jail free card is saying anything other than that you're Christian, cash it in. That's not what Peter did, and it takes quite a misinterpretation of the context of the Gospel to conclude that it is.

Jesus never sinned so I doubt he would have gone against one of the Ten Commandments

Religion is bad period. It poisons everything because it isn't based in reality thinking. I believe in a conscious intelligence behind the universe and life but once man starts conceptualizing that intelligence from his frame of reference you get the idiocy that is formal religion and all that flows from that.

i'm just saying, i think god would "let it slide".
heck, you could always just ask for forgiveness and ***voi la!***
all is forgiven

people sin everyday according to the bible yet a lot of them "go to heaven", right?
i think "god" in this situation would let it go. just my opinion.
