reason not to believe it.

If the story was not true but they used it anyhow, that is definitely exploitation and pretty shameful.

The pastor who stood by the Klebolds was living by his faith. What a shame that people are so cruel.

Thank you for the link, that is so sad, adding tragedy to tragedy. Those poor people and a pastor who should be proud of taking the position he did. Christians certainly do not live up the principles of the person whose name they claim. But that pastor did so. I hope he has found peace. He is a good man.
