Their rights over rule the rights of others. They are the Almighty they claim to have no belief in. Just a guess.

I'm guessing it isn't a case of caring about a cross being there but more of a "I want my name in the news" kind of thing. Gotta remember that there are embarrassments on both sides.

Because they don't want to be reminded they are going to hell?

Is it private property or public property paid for by all tax payers of all faiths?

As far as I know it is owned by the Port Authority of NY and NJ. That makes it public property. If they really want religious symbols there then they should put symbols of all faiths there. Many people died in the WTC on 9/11, not all were christians.

The same as if they put an obama campaign sign there,they would have to let the republican candidate put up his aswell.

Quit having a stroke bible thumpers.

Hating the haters is the answer. It's just aggravating when, as usual, the minority who makes the loudest noise gets heard regardless of what the majority believes. Just like so many businesses in todays world, the Gov't can tend to manage to the lowest common denominator.

That's because we Christians lost our way many years go. We have allowed ourselves to be intimidated by the the PC police. They can say whatever they want about us, but God forbid we stand up for what we believe in. Then we cry how the country has become an immoral cesspool.

Am I going to a place I don't believe in? Btw put up crosses, have prayer circles, sing as loud as you want but don't think for a second that everyone wants to share your beliefs.

I love all my really religious friends...they usually wore Saturday night's clothing to church on Sunday because they were in no shape to drive. Often smelling of strippers, booze, and smoke (of various types). They always knew better than to push their beliefs on me because they only really stick to theirs on Sunday mornings. So yeah, I'll gladly go to "hell" because at least I'll enjoy the company of all those other heathens that only "believe" one day a week.

I would think that if the Atheists are the scientist protectors of Earth...that God would put them in the front of the line to heaven for taking care of his planet creation and it's inhabitants.

I hope they are reincarnated as a tree ... that would then get cut down to make bibles. That would teach em a lesson or 2

Is anyone really surprised about anything any more ?

Expect everything and be surprised at nothing.

 

[indykid]

Just waiting for them to make a stink about the markers in Arlington National Cemetery!!!

Why would they? The military has multiple markers for members of many faiths, including athiests. Did you think that it was just a place filled with crosses?

STRIPPERS and BOOZE the night before church ? Man did I miss that meeting.

Is there just nothing there to represent an atheist?

Several things:

This is not just them wanting their beliefs respected, this is them attacking Christian beliefs.* They specifically want to remove something that Christians revere. They are not asking for a plaque to commemorate the atheists who died on 9/11.

This is a piece of rubble that just happened to be in the shape of a cross. If they had made a cross out of pieces of rubble, then it would be a cause for asking them to remove it. Were there any Davidian stars formed by the rubble as it collapsed? Any crescent moons? Any miniature Buddha's or Shiva's? didn't think so.

Thirdly, this has become an iconic symbol of 9/11. As much as the picture of Jack Ruby shooting LHO is for the Kennedy assassination. The picture of this cross-shaped rubble was run in almost every newspaper in the country. Honestly, I'm a Christian, and when I see a picture of the rubble cross, I think more of the people that died on 9/11/01 than I do about Jesus.

“The World Trade Center cross has become a christian icon. It has been blessed by so-called holy men and presented as a reminder that their God, who couldn’t be bothered to stop the Muslim terrorists or prevent 3,000 people from being killed in his name, cared only enough to bestow upon us some rubble that resembles a cross.”

the port authority is merely displaying the beam and column that remained in the shape of a cross none were found in the shape of the star of david, or in a crescent moon, or anything else. It's ok they don't believe in God because the devil believes in them
