Well, according to all the reports and evidence compiled since the Columbine massacre of 1999, there were a LOT of misconceptions about that incident. This includes the famous exchange which supposedly took place between the killers and their victims in which Klebold and Harris asked students if they believed in God before shooting them to death. Apparently, that never happened, according to the FBI. Of course, this is just one of several misconceptions which USA Today corrected in this article: www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-04-13-columbine-myths_N.htmEDIT: Now if anyone gives you shit about the Columbine killers targeting and executing Christians simply for believing in God, you can tell them it's a total hoax.

Like they'll believe it's a hoax. They'll probably say that the Jew controlled media is brainwashing you and only Glenn Beck and the rest of the Fox News cast are true.

I read the book Cassie's mother wrote. It was complete and utter bullshit. Apparently Cassie was into Satanism when she was younger and planned to harm her parents, but she found God. Why would you lie about your dead daughter? And even if it were true, it's probably very exaggerated.
And say that the victims were asked if they believed in God. The boys were going to shoot them no matter what they said. They weren't seeking out Christians, they were saying, "Prepare to meet your maker."

Why would you lie about your dead daughter? Because you can sell more books that way. If you're going to pimp off of your dead daughter, you might as well go for the big bucks. Yep, they went after the popular crowd, the ones that teased them. But of course we all know that the popular kids in school can't do anything wrong, it's got to be the freaks.

Yeah, the woman in question appeared on the Coral Ridge Ministries move "Darwin's Deadly Legacy." They also used the Holocaust (just like Ben Stein's "Expelled") to sell their point (and their DVDs).

You guys might find the iMonk's article about the tenth anniversary of Columbine interesting. As usual, he comes down pretty hard on the Christian groupthink that prevailed after the incident. www.internetmonk.com/archive/columbine-a-word-for-evangelicals-ten-years-laterI emailed this a while back to my boyfriend, don't know if he read it. I simply love the iMonk's articles, and this is a good one. The stories from commentators of their own difficult adolescent years are particularly sad, as well.

IIRC they were both army brats. I've met a number of really mentally fucked army brats in my life.

Does your computer have trouble loading that one? Yes it did. It came up with a mostly blank page except for the stumble upon header. I'm guessing, used scripts to load everything else. I usually keep my security setting pretty strict, so that was most likely the problem. Sorry for being irritable about it, it just seemed gratuitous that all that should be required to look at a simple news story. Thanks. Interesting story. Some of that I already knew didn't happen (like targeting Christians or rehearsing the attack in Doom), but this was the first I'd heard that the bullied outcast stereotype wasn't true either. The part about the bombs was chilling too. I knew there was a failed bomb, but not that there were three, or how effective the could have been if they had worked.

I am so glad there's an honest Christian out there addressing this. Thank you, Gadfly.
I hope Cassie Bernall's mother at least has the sense to be ashamed of herself now.
