Would you die for him?
I remember in 1999 when Columbine happened, one of the students got killed just for believing in God. I ask you: If someone held a gun to your face and ask if you believe in God - knowing that you will get killed if you say you do - what would you say?

Personally, I'll say yes. I know I was never put in the situation before, but why live my life in shame and guilt? And also, you never know what's going to happen. You can get shot and live to tell about it...

	Columbine wasn't about religion. And I'm agnostic. So I probably wouldn't. But throwing yourself in front of a bullet for God doesn't make you a martyr. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I know Columbine wasn't about religion, but apparently a student got killed because of it. No, it doesn't make you a martyr, but it sure does show a lot of faith. And faith, in due time, will be rewarded. (According to my beliefs) (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

	Actually, no, she got killed because that is what they were there to do. They didn't even ask the majority of the students they shot and their plan was actually to kill everyone they could. I'm having a very hard time with Christianity right now. And I'm just going to leave it at that. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

	as [Bad username in LJ tag] said, it wasn't about religion. i'd have to be honest anyway. i believe in many gods, being Pagan. they'd probably shoot you even if you said you didn't if they were that far gone. not about religion at all. (Reply to this)

	Ok for starters those kids would have killed people whether they said they believed in god or not. Secondly, what is to be gained from saying you believe if you think you will die for saying so???? Do you think God cares what you say to two deluded teenager murderers?? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'd rather live in shame and guilt then with a bullet in my ass. I am not really too religious anyways. I understand why people would still say yes. But, if you are asking me personally I would say what I have to say to stay alive. (Reply to this)

	kittikattie 2005-05-11 23:19 (link)
	Well, no, because I don't believe in the Christian God. If I did, I think he would understand me saving my ass from psychos and saying no. But it's a moot point. Ut's been concluded that they would have killed her anyways, even if she'd said no and had screamed, "Hail Satan". They were guano crazy. (Reply to this)

	You must not be religous because that was a smart, intelligent answer... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yea. She should've been in the media just as much as Cassie was. There really is no meaning behind it - other than the fact that they hated everyone. I'm proud of the other girl (Valeen) too. I just like the way they handled it - as a true believer would. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

	With a gun in my face? hmmmm....can't help but be truthful. I'd say no. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	mzzzunderstood 2005-05-11 23:23 (link)
	i would say yes, i believe in God & not even a gun will make me deny Him, then i'd pray & wait for eternity to begin. a bullet to the face is nothing compared to life (& afterlife) without grace. haha, that rhymed. (Reply to this)

	Did you delete the thread because you put your foot in your mouth or because you showed that you didn't know what sociology was? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	denim_queen 2005-05-11 23:36 (link)
	both I think. I didn't even say anything negative, I just gave her the definiton of sociology. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

	mzdeidra 2005-05-11 23:36 (link)
	I did it because what you was saying was pointless. It isn't about me, it's about the question that was asked. You went off track, so I deleted it. Say something else ignorant, and I'll delete it. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

	Go 'head, delete this too. jadedgyrl23 2005-05-11 23:46 (link)
	There is something really, really sad about a person who deletes comments because she can't stand being challenged. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: Go 'head, delete this too. mzdeidra 2005-05-11 23:48 (link)
	Lol...I'm done with the "challenges" girl, I already made my point. I'm just not going to sit here and let ya'll continue being kids. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
