   Sammy, can you expand on what you mean please? This is certainly a debate I want to be a part of, but I want to know if there is anything specific.

   I often wonder if I could stand up to a guy with a gun who is trying to get me to sin. I'm not sure I have the strength of character to die for Hashem, but hopefully I will never have to find out.

   If I'm extremely honest with myself, I think prbly not, but then again when a person is cvs placed in that situation they are given tremendous siyata dishmaya to be able to withstand it

   i don't know if i would! i hope i would! it's hard to think about it now..if one were (chas vishalom) in a situation like that, i think they would just know thats what they would have to do!

   I think we do have a greek crisis, but different in the way you think. The focus on materialism and on a thin perfect body is one that is way too common among frum yidden. The Greeks also focused on gashmius, on the body.
