Friday, August 20, 2010  Pity The Poor Atheists  Federal Appeals
Court Rules Against Utah Memorial Crosses Along Highway     But
American Atheists, Inc., the Texas-based group that sued to have
the crosses removed from state property, argued that the crosses
could imply that the trooper who died there was a Christian.  I
have only one question: How sad does your life have to be that a
cross along the roadway disturbs you?   Randy said...  I think
about the post-war scenes in movies of burials of soldiers, they
all show crosses on the graves. I guess we couldn't do that
today...  Mustang said...  Next up, all crosses located in
national cemetaries will have to come down; Islamic symbols will
be allowed to remain, though. There are probably only two or
three of those anyway.  What about the small crosses along side
roadways where a fatality occurred, as a memorial to the
departed?  The State could simply put up tombstones, though,
recording the fallen officer's name and dates of birth and
death.   cube said...
