Nope; I'm saying people are willing to die for their beliefs. Shortly before the revolt of Judas Maccabeus (2 Maccabees 8), Antiochus IV Epiphanes arrested a mother and her seven sons, and tried to force them to eat pork. When they refused, he tortured and killed the sons one by one. The narrator mentions that the mother "was the most remarkable of all, and deserves to be remembered with special honour. She watched her seven sons die in the space of a single day, yet she bore it bravely because she put her trust in the Lord." [4] Each of the sons makes a speech as he dies, and the last one says that his brothers are "dead under God's covenant of everlasting life". [5] The narrator ends by saying that the mother died, without saying whether she was executed, or died in some other way. en.wikipedia.org
