honesty?

What is honest? Webster's defines honesty as a fairness and straightforwardness of conduct. But if we are completely honest with ourselves, hence completely straightforward, how many of us are really honest about half the things we say or think.
As a growing christian i hear new Christians all the time saying how they would die in the name of Jesus. now all this could be true, but i don't think they are being completely honest with themselves. i mean yes of course they have that strong will. they are headstrong, like any new Christian. And they are passionate about what they believe. but if they dig deep inside their souls i think they would see how scary that could really be. And to die for your religion is a hard thing to do. i kudos those of u who would be able to do that. i will be honest, i would be terrified to loose my life like that. but lets be honest with ourselves... are u honest??
