A God of Lesser Things

Is there anything in life that inspires a conviction in you that is so strong that you would die for it? You may need to look up the word "conviction" before you answer this question. There will be a few different definitions for it; decide which one fits best within the context of the question.

  1. “Conviction” - A belief or opinion that is held firmly.
    God and Family! I have a strong belief that at the end of everything only thing you will have in your life is God. The money, fame, and material thing will not matter. Friends will not matter because at some point they will forget about you. My love and passion for immediate family would be an assurance to die for them. I was raised on the principle no matter what situation good or bad to always keep God in your life first and then family. Hopefully this answered the follow question.

  2. A fixed or firm belief is the definition to the word conviction. With this word and my life I really don't have a religion and don't believe in anything strong enough that I would die for it. I really can't answer this question because the only thing I live for is to go day by day and make in and hopefully one day to be happy because now I am miserable.

  3. “A fixed or firm belief” by Dictionary.com and, “Belief that one would die for.” By Urban dictionary.com. Hmm I would have to go with one of my to theory’s one being with a all knowing all powerful being God and the other being Time Travel. With my first one is that I have been raised Christian and I will always be a Christian there is no way around that. Being brought up Christian I believe in god, do not get me wrong I love god but I am also up to other suggestions like roman mythology. I am not the kind of person who will go around telling everybody why my god is better and yours does not exist. Listening to others peoples religions is cool and their beliefs. With my second theory is Time Travel. You are probably wondering “Time Travel?” but I think it is true. When you lose things how do you think they get lost and end up in another location? Or when you need something like a sign, it is there. One other thing is that since it is you from the future you know your every move so you can not ever see yourself. Here are some of my convictions I have more the ones here are the ones I mostly believe in.

  4. Conviction is an unshakable belief in something without need for proof or evidence. I would have to agree with Tashad when I was brought up God first and family second. God is most important he said if you take care of his house he would take care of you and your home. My family I will always take care of them. I would absolutly die for my immediate family. I would also die for the few I take as my brother or sister. I would do alot for them I just have to figure out when its too much help. This has to be my strongest conviction as well.

    Yes, My religion is something i am willing to day for . Before i actually answered this I must have sat here for about 20 mins trying to decied what it maybe .. My relgion is indeed I could would die for . He ( god ) is the most important thing to me even though I tend not be as humble as I should , but i know its uncoditionaly love he has for me . Another is my mother there is not enough words in the world for what i would do for my mom . She has helped me in so many way and contiueously is . This is my conviction .

  6. Conviction is a strong belief or opinion. Well to me a belief is an opinion so anything you judge is an opinion. Deep down inside I would die for my friends and my family the ones I love the ones that make me who I am. With out them I wouldn't be no one in life. One of my biggest fears is if I find out the someone I've loved all my life has died or someone has hurt them. I would go so far as to hurt the person that hurt them as worse. Yea it's not good to fight fire with fire but I just can't see that person live with their selves without knowing how it really feels to loose someone that you love. If conviction is the word you would like to say then yes that's my conviction.

  8. According to Dictionary.com conviction as listed above many times means a fixed or firm belief.
    I was born into Christianity and growing up they always taught us to never deny our religion. That we should stand by it even if we had to die for it. I eventually grew up and "rebelled" as Christians would call it and left church. Being a religious teenager now in day isn't a walk in the park. Almost everything is considered sinning. I wanted to live my life and take risks and make my own decisions. I know there is a God and I will be held accountable for my actions, but I don't consider myself to be a true Christian, if I did I would be a hypocrite. Right now in my life I don't know if I would die for a religion I grew up in and then abandoned. People say that Conviction is their family and they would die for them. Yes, I would die for my family but I dont consider them to be a conviction.
