I love this song also. Amazing lyrics!

"Don't be shocked that people die, be surprised you're still alive"

By the way... I can't help it here...

"God is worth dying for because he died for us before we even knew him."

No he didn't... I'm pretty sure the Bible states it was in fact Jesus who died for us... God never died. Sheesh... I don't even follow Christianity and I know that... I don't follow any religion come to think of it...

As for the part about who Cassie was. The event that this song is supposed to be about never took place during the columbine shootings.

You're right... not with Cassie at least; Valeen Schnurr was asked but not shot and killed (as stated in the above post)... people confused Schnurr for Cassie because of their similarities... but there was a girl in the library of columbine who was asked if she believed in god; many people in the library confirmed it as did Schnurr herself.

MaverickX, you state that you're pretty sure the Bible says that Jesus died for us. Okay, this may get a little complicated & sticky. As due to my Catholic upbringing I can attest to that is true; However, the belief is that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are very different parts of the one whole.. In turn, meaning that on a technicality, God did die for us.

I don't know how much I believe in all that, but I just wanted to straighten out any confusions you may have had. At least with how I was raised in the...

He is God. Why would it matter if some random man died for us? It would mean nothing unless it was God. The Bible is obvious about this fact.
