... is it ever ok to abandon your beliefs? Is there ever a situation in which it is ok to steal, lie, or even kill?
Example: If completely against McDonalds, and everything it stands for, is it ok to eat there if you're starving and there is nothing else around for miles and miles? Hundreds and thousands of miles even.

it would be ok. I hope... for reasons that are totally not important...lol.
i don't think that it is okay to abandon your beliefs, generally speaking.
however, i think that it definitely depends on the situation you are faced with..
eg. killing as means of self-defense, or defense of your family, if there is no other option available. some may disagree with that, but i think this example is one most people could relate with.
also, following the mcdonalds example - what exactly is it that you are against that would keep you from eating there?
the fact that they employ 12-year olds and pay them 10 cents an hour vs. the fact that you hate their food.
it all depends, i think.
