According to Rachel's parents, the God they believe in fore-told and allowed the slaughter of innocents so that His message of love and redemption could be spread around the world. What a disturbing image that creates. It certainly is not a God I care to worship. They claim to quote Rachel's journals, in which they believe she wrote of God's prophecy about her coming death and the death of twelve others. If these are indeed Rachel's journals, it's possible that she was experiencing some type of premonition. How disturbing to think that she did not feel confident enough to tell someone. We cannot speculate about what might have happened, but to know that she kept such feelings to herself begs the question "Why?" Finally, the self-promotion of her parents and people like Bruce Porter at her innocent expense is the most disturbing element of all. Rachel, like the others, did not deserve to die. Neither does she deserve this continuing exploitation by people who love her.
