Sorry Jillian. Was simply attempting to stay on topic.
You're right, government does not have a right to impose religion on anyone.
And that's not what's happening in this case.
ok fair enough. so i'll try to do the same. for what it's worth, i don't particularly mind if they display that 'cross'. it doesn't affect me one way or the other. i certainly wouldn't have filed suit over it. but i stand by my view of the 1st amendment. i don't think it applies here, though. if they fabricated a cross to put in the memorial, my view of it would change. but i remember when those buildings came down and that was left standing. it comforted some people. nothing more, nothing less.
Agreed.
And if you read the article, the plaintiffs are claiming that the steel beams are a "shrine".
Just more knee-jerky bullshit from those who believe their "freedom of religion" should allow them to outlaw the faith of others.
well, i think it's more that they don't want it to become a shrine. and it shouldn't and i don't think it will. maybe 10 years ago... not now, imo.
