I'm saying that, if your claim is that you are willing to die for another human being, then at some level your possess the belief that either that person's life is more important than your own, you believe that the highest gift a person can give is his or her life for another, or you love the person so much that you are willing to exchange your life for theirs. To me, these are all beliefs. If there are other circumstances that I am not considering, I'd love to hear them.
