Why did God allow Corey Comperatore to die?

10. Cults need some followers to become martyrs

We've already noted to relevance of Peter Gabriel's "Family Snapshot" to the shooting, so I'll give you "The Knife" - very early Genesis, and Gabriel is said to be responsible for these lyrics too:

Stand up and fight
For you know we are right
We must strike at the lies
That have spread like disease through our minds
Soon we'll have power
Every soldier will rest
And we'll spread out our kindness
To all who our love now deserve
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom
That I shall provide
