OL: more on Martyrs

Classmate 3:
Hmm, tough question. I guess it would depend on the person's sense of belonging. If the person felt like they had a secure place back home and were somewhat happy there, it may be hard for them to make the decision to become a martyr. If they didn't feel like they belonged and felt that the only thing they had was their religion, then the decision would be easy for them. In truth, what it really comes down to is a person's list of priorities. If thought of like a pie chart, then the biggest section would be the part that wins in the decision making process. The other parts may have some sway, but in the end the majority would win. If God was the biggest slice in that pie chart, then He will win. If may be harder for the person to decide in favor of God if they also have larger slices in the pie voting for a different decision to be made.
