today we walked down to an arts center.they told us about rachel and we saw vids.rachels story really touched me she was so kind and heartfelt.we have a banner at school that says “I Except Rachel’s challenage”.tomorrow i will sign that banner remembering that “I Will Not Be Labled As Average” and that i will be kind to others.so i know i will start a chain reaction.my friend said that the presentation was crap and rachel was “Stupid” I was like “Shut Up”so i belive that i will be just like rachel and change the world.

I believe that at least half of this story is crap, and im a 12 year old athiest. but i do think that rachel is one of the most inspirational people ever and i had to hold back tears when a guy came to our school to talk about rachels challenge. i dont care if people hate me because im an athiest, but i accept rachel’s challenge.

You desperately need to read more: How do you know that they only asked Valeen Scnurr and not also Rachel Scott and Cassie Bernall. My source on Rachel Scott is the first book by her parents, Darrell Scott and Beth Nimmo, who got the information from Rachel’s companion at lunch that day, who was also shot, but survived. He gave a direct, word-for-word quote of what Eric Harris said and what Rachel Scott’s response was. What credible source do you have that refutes this eyewitness account, which has also been published in newspapers?

The “Do you believe in God” question was asked of Valeen Schnurr (who survived). Hell, you couldn’t even get the wrong name right: Most people incorrectly attribute it to Cassie Bernall (who, sadly, did not).

Eric harris did not ask rachel scott if she believed in god. He asked Val that.

Look up the info

Annabeth, I appreciate your feedback, but rather than read only the lead and then comment, I would encourage you to read the entire column, and if you are interested, read her parents’ book, “Rachel’s Tears.” According to Rachel’s companion, who survived the shooting, Eric Harris asked her if she were a Christian a moment before he killed her, and witnesses say the two ridiculed her for her faith.

I don’t know whether the Cassie Bernall story is credible or not, but from everything I’ve read, this one is.
