Send "Cassie" Ringtone to Cell

The question asked in order
To save her life or take it
The answer no to avoid death
The answer yes would make it, make it

Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger

All heads are bowed in silence
To remember her last sentence
She answered him knowing what would happen
Her last words still hanging in the air
(In the air)

Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger

How many will die?
I will die
I, I will say yes

Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes or pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger
Do you believe in God
Do you believe in God
Do you believe in God
And I will pull the trigger

    General Comment:All in all, the song is basically about standing up for your beliefs, even if it kills you. Like Cassie Bernall.

    General Comment:Maybe "the Collumbine case" is just a myth, but this song, the song about necessity of martyrdom, is something that can be an anthem for every single Christian. Many people say that we, Christians, are narrow-minded, that we discriminate against LGTB people and others, but the truth is, Christianity is the most discriminated religion today (especially in Asia, of course).

    General Comment:The song is about Cassie Bernall, but it can also apply to any situation where you have to stand for the right cause, even if it cost you your life. This is also a depiciton of "turning the other cheek". Taking that step, knowing you will be opposed.

    General Comment:Also, it says "She answered him knowing what would happen". Answered him, so he killed her bc she believes in God.

    General Comment:the columbine shoothings didn't just kill cassie. they killed 13 people all together. the victims were: cassie bernall, steve curnow, corey depooter, kelley fleming, matt kechter, daniel mauser, daniel rorhbough, rachel scott, isaiah shoels, john tomlin, lauren townsend, kyle velasquez, and coach dave sanders. these brave 13 people died for god. i don't belive in god but it is amazing that these people would die for him.

    General Comment:personally, i think the official police investigation rules out Cassie as being asked (as does Rachael's family as mentioned in several posts about them coming to schools for events about bullying). However, I was taught in a media class that the story was skewed by a media report when they mixed up the names of the girls. yes, they all had books and such, but, i mean, i can write a book too on my grandmother's experiences in WWII, and say that Jesus got her through the war, but *I Dont Know*. See my point? Can't exactly ask her, the *one* real witness.

    Columbine related or not, the meaning to stand up for what you believe is awesome. My pet peeve is that everyone thinks you have to be Christian to believe in 'God'. I mean, I would answer yes, and in this situation I would die, but people would take that as I'm a Christian? I'm most definitely not.

    Yes, it's a christian band ::sigh::. The meaning i think is that if you have faith, you should stand up for it, being whatever it is.

    General Comment:maybe this wont matter to most i don't care but i think what shes saying that she would put her faith to god that she would also say yes to die for god. it is not about sacrifice its about your faith in god. i not a christian but i believe in god. it took me a while to believe

    General Comment:I hate to be a complete buzzkill, but neither Rachael Scott or Cassie Bernall were asked the question. Rachael was killed outside the library, and no eyewitnesses heard anything being said. In the Library, Cassie was killed by Harris after he said "Peek-a-boo".
    Valeen Schnurr is the person who had the "Do you believe in God?" question asked. She confirmed it, and numerous eyewitnesses did as well.
