Would I stand up for God and not deny Him? I have been doing this for 36 years and have never yet denied Him... nor will I ever.  |

I read her diar that her parents had published after her death. It was very moving. Columbine is such a sad, yet such an amazing story of how people stood up for themselves.  |

I love to hear Rachel's story. At the first day of school in my district, Rachel's father spoke at our teacher orientation. It was a beautiful message and would have brought tears to the coldest person.  |

It was Cassie Bernall that ALLEGEDLY was ask "Do you believe in God?", not Rachel Scott. This was later denied as having been said to her, but was said to yet another student, who was spared after saying it. The truth is: the story had already flashed around the world and was picked up and believed and embellished upon by the religious community, so in reality, no one really knows WHO said what exactly, since there were several conflicting stories. It was Rachel Scott's brother who told the story about Cassie Bernall, but then later it was recanted, and an article was published in Colorado newspapers, burried somewhere on the back pages about it. But the story had become so gigantic, so widely spread around and believed, it didn't matter what the truth was or is.  |

well, hmmm.. even so thinker, it isn't really going to matter because it is a feel good story and as you said, spread far and wide.  |

Doheney, You're right; many many people love a good, feel-good story, and could care less how or where it originated. But, somewhere there is a quote:
"I don't want to believe in Christianity and I don't want to disbelieve in
Christianity, I just want to know the truth" == unknown . I feel the same about this. Something; anything, is not comforting to me if it is untrue, and or just because I WANT it to be true.
True believers aren't about to be seduced or swayed or even acknowledge such things as facts.

good point thinker, and i completely understand how you feel, but i wouldn't say that is true for alot of people because when you look at a story like this, i think anyway, it is often seen as harmless even if it is rearranged facts, because it changes nothing, the rearranged facts that is, and people still get the feel good from it. people want to feel good, be comforted, reassured. if it is seen as harmless, the feel good is still there and one isn't worse for the wear. the want and need is more important than the trivial rearrangement, know what i mean? i'd say being disturbed by the rearrangement is the exception, not the rule. but i'll bet you knew that right? i used to get alot of these in emails from a friend. grain of salt. still fun to read, but grain of salt. i have to admit, i love a good story. |
