"Yet the skeptic will never be able to answer why Cassie Bernall answered "Yes" when asked at gunpoint if she believed in God." Tench, you are wrong there. Skeptics can have their own belief systems that they feel just as strongly about. It is a mistake to trivialize other belief systems. It doesn't make yours stronger.

re: Yet the skeptic will never be able to answer why Cassie Bernall answered "Yes" when asked at gunpoint if she believed in God. Yeah but you guys will never be able to explain Keith Richards either. Keith Richards: `I snorted my father' 22 minutes ago Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine. "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME. "He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive." Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84. Richards, one of rock's legendary wild men, told the magazine that his survival was the result of luck, and advised young musicians against trying to emulate him. "I did it because that was the way I did it. Now people think it's a way of life," he was quoted as saying. "I've no pretensions about immortality," he added. "I'm the same as everyone ... just kind of lucky. "I was No. 1 on the `who's likely to die' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list," Richards said. ___ On the Net: Rolling Stones: rollingstones.com NME: nme.com

Yet the skeptic will never be able to answer why Cassie Bernall answered "Yes" when asked at gunpoint if she believed in God. Apparently she didn't, but someone else did...why did you bring this up? Al ============================================================ The official investigation into the shootings concluded that Bernall did not have the exchange.[3] Valeen Schnurr, one of the survivors of the Columbine massacre, said in an interview with Stories for a Teen's Heart author Janna L. Graber that the question, "Do you believe in God?" was addressed to her, and that she answered in the affirmative.[4] Witness Craig Scott, brother of Rachel Scott, a girl who was also killed in the massacre, had originally reported that he heard Bernall's voice. When investigators took him back to the scene he indicated that the voice had not come from the area where Bernall had been located. Emily Wyant, who had been sitting with Bernall in the library as the shootings began, confirmed that the exchange did not take place. Wyant stated that she and Bernall were studying together when the gunmen broke in. According to her account Bernall exclaimed, "Dear God, dear God! Why is this happening? I just want to go home." Wyant described how Eric Harris suddenly slammed his hand onto the table top and yelled "Peek-a-boo!" before fatally shooting Cassie Bernall. Despite this evidence to the contrary, reports alleging that Cassie said "yes" persist.[5][6]
