Al, > Apparently she didn't

Yes Al, the doubters came out just a few months after it made national headlines. Citing differing accounts from those who were crouched over, Salon came to the conclusion that it wasn't Cassie who said yes, but Valeen Schnurr.

It's no surprise that the doubters demanded extraordinary proof for a story that has inspired millions of Christians. What does matter is that the question was asked, and someone did indeed say "Yes."

Plus the path of Cassie before she found God was very, very similar to that of Harris and Klebold, the Columbine killers. Her conversion surprised even her mother, who for years had to deal with her descent into suicidal darkness.

Personally, I believe Cassie said yes. I think the original account is sound enough to accept as fact, even if memories of a tragic situation are hardly precise or reliable. But even if it was Valeen who said it, it wouldn't change my mind that Cassie is indeed a martyr, and that her story of conversion before that horrible day remains undisputed and a source of inspiration for millions of young believers.

And that's a lot more believable than the skeptic's conclusion that this was all just a random act.

P.S. - Valeen Schnurr is also a practicing Christian. Of course, you'd have to be after surviving a tragedy like that.
