The trump card that I often see getting pulled has to do with the third WTC tower going down. Is there a black and white answer for that?

It was a piece of junk built on top of a giant Con Edison power substation. There was also fuel stored all over inside the building in part for Giuliani's doomsday bunker on the 23rd floor.

The parents of one of the kids killed in the Columbine shooting wrote a crazy memoir about their daughter that explained how she had been possessed by a demon because at age 14 she started getting moody and talking back to them and wanted to spend more time alone and make choices for herself. The whole book is about how they all prayed together and eventually their obedient, compliant daughter returned after fighting off the devil clouding her mind (i.e. they broke her spirit and she lost all sense of self). It was a best-seller, and a pretty fascinating look inside the worldview of people who live outwardly normal lives and seem perfectly sane yet interpret their growing daughter's completely normal adolescent psychological development as literal demonic possession. It goes without saying that they saw her murder as Satan's revenge for her escape from his grasp (completely hollow, of course, because she went straight to Heaven).

Haha holy poo poo how did I never realize this? :wtc:

She Said Yes posted:

One of the most gripping stories to come out of the shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., is that of Cassie Bernall: when asked by the gunmen whether she believed in God, she answered yes and then was shot point-blank. Hours after the story emerged, Cassie was hailed a martyr by news media and Christian groups around the world. Her mother's smoothly written account of that day, and of the years that preceded it, provides a fuller picture of a girl who was once very troubled and, ironically, had been for a time as much of a Goth-loving outsider as her killers. Bernall relates how she and her husband intervened after finding letters in Cassie's room that described occult spells and ways to murder one's parents.
