I would not change the word from die to live because it changes what the meaning of what God said. The many people that died for a nobel cause should be glorified. The change was made for "political correctness" by a passive culture. I always feel uncomfortable when I hear the new rendition. | |

So, in the spirit of this originally being posted on History, we should point out that while strictly true (thousands), the actual number is more properly described as hundreds of thousands: about 650,000. A number that shocked the sensibilities of the world at the time. | |
