Your Friendly Neighborhood Atheists

Keep your Christian symbols off the public property unless you want everyone else to add theirs. What she should have posted, with permission, was a sign that said My Son Died Here, Please Drive Safely.

The difference between you and that kid is that nobody will be to put a cross over your grave much less give a shit when you and your type are swept from this earth. Please Die Safely.

Another fan of Jesus I see...

No one has said they can't. A Jew, or a Muslim, or even a Atheist is absolutely free to place whatever remembrance they wish at the site of the death of a loved one. This attack on this woman is simply bullying a grieving mom. Anyone who supports this is a jackass of the first order.

The separation clause is there to prevent a STATE RELIGION, not prevent remembrances like this.

What a bunch of uncaring assholes.

On private property she can build a 200 foot cross, and set it alight for all I care, but not on property that I pay for. That is off limits, period.

What i believe is that Fred Phelps, the founder and leader of Westboro Baptist, ran for office several time AS A DIMOCRAP SCUMBAG

That he Supported Algore (aka; ManBearPig) for President, that he was a Civil Rights Activist with the dimocrap party

Phelps supported Gore in 1988 because Gore opposed a "gay bill of rights". Once Gore changed his views, Phelps came out strongly against Gore. He called Gore a "famous fag pimp" and picketed the funeral of Gore's father, telling him, "Your dad's in Hell".

Do better to keep up.

Atheists are the religious radicals of the political left. Just that simple. Anybody that doesn't realize that is too stupid to live.

When is the Supreme Court going to realize that Atheism is just another religion?

Favoring them is no different than abiding Christians over Muslims or favoring Muslims over Hindus.

It's simply religious repression from the left.

Atheist Group Forces Grieving Mom To Take Down Cross From Site Where Her Son Was Killed…

Just when you think militant atheists can’t be any more repulsive.

Via Fox News:

A grieving California mom who, under pressure from an atheist group, went to the site where her son was killed to remove a memorial cross was met at the scene by a throng of supporters who planted crosses of their own.

“They said they have to take that one down,” Doug Johnson, a Riverside resident who traveled to the site with his daughter and six home-made crosses, told The Riverside Press-Enterprise. ”But they didn’t say anything about putting another one up.”

AnnMarie Devaney agreed to remove a 5-foot cross she put up on the side of a road in Lake Elsinore to honor her 19-year-old son Anthony, who was struck by a car and killed two years ago, the paper reported. The American Humanist Association in Washington, D.C., caught wind of the cross and sent her a demand letter dated March 4 calling for her to remove it. The association said that its placement on city property violates the constitutional separation of church and state.

“It’s so petty and sad that they have to complain over removing a cross,” she said. “It’s his personal preference that he was Christian. What’s wrong with having a cross up?”

Devaney was emotional when she was at the site and said she was moved by her supporters. She was joined by her family and other families that brought their own cross. A woman in attendance told the paper that she is the stepmother of the driver struck Devaney’s son as he crossed Lake Street near an exit ramp, the paper reported.

Two years ago.......geesh. Most make-shift memorials go down after a few months.

oh, I go past one every morning. Two kids minding their own biz got t-boned by a guy whose blood alc test got screwed up. The kids got put through a metal pole. A new cross and flowers is up every other month. I feel for those people. I'd want to touch the spot where my kid was at her last.

Edge, you are filled by hate and rage. Thought that, it is your head, too wooly.

Atheists have every right to believe as you do.

Remember the Constitution.

yeah it says free exercise.......

and man because she put that cross there, we were in danger of living in a theocracy....whew dodged a bullet on that one!

 

[g5000]

As for roadside crosses, the atheists are being assholes. Simple fact.

Making the cross five feet tall is a bit much, though.

yeah, 5 feet is likely distracting traffic.

What we need is a nice little religious war. Really put a stop to the atheist scum. Treat them exactly as muslims would treat them.

Mighty Christian of you!

Then why did Phelps run for Governor four times, once for the Federal House and once for Federal Senate, all on the dimocraptic ticket, moron?

SIX TIMES on the dimocraptic ticket.

And he's not a dimocrap...

Fred Phelps is a six-time Democrat Senate, Congressional, and gubernatorial candidate. His family members are long time associates of Al Gore. Phelps is the activist/agitator founder of the Westboro Democrat hate brigade…the group that travels the country wishing AIDS on gay people whenever they are not trying to ruin military funerals.

You're just a lying douche.

A despicable piece of lying shit.

But you're a dimocrap. That's an improvement over being a dimocrap.

Anything is.

Including dead

And we had a guy t-boned on the intersection on the way to my daughter's elementary school years ago....flowers and a cross were set up by family members...when they faded about 6 months later, they were removed.

^ definitely a foul-mouthed christian of the type we see so much of here.

Do you actually believe that the Westboro Baptist Church is "leftist"? Do you honestly believe that? If Westboro Baptist monkeys are "leftist" and the "left" is fighting for gay rights, and the Westboro Baptist monkeys protest against homosexuality at heterosexual soldiers' funderals, then what part of that makes the Westboro Baptist Church "leftist"?

(WASHINGTON, DC) – Reports linking Vice President Al Gore with notorious anti-gay activist Fred Phelps, Jr., and the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas were confirmed with the release of photographs showing Gore at a fundraiser at the home of Fred Phelps, Jr., who told the Conservative News Service on October 16 that he served as a Gore delegate on the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta in 1988.

You know that Fred Phelps has never won any election as a Democrat, right? And what does any of that have to do with the Westboro Baptist Church being "leftist"?

If the Left is fighting for gay rights, and the Westboro Baptist Church protests against homosexuality, then how is the Westboro Baptist Church "leftist"?

Not only are they not leftist, I have my doubts that they are even a Church. More like a family cult.

Edge, you are filled by hate and rage. Thought that, it is your head, too wooly.

Stupid ****.
Where have I ever said that Atheists don't have the right to believe as they wish?
Where?
Stupid little bitch.
All I have EVER said is that they don't have the right to force their beliefs on the rest of us.
And that's what they're doing.
By forcing the grieving Mother of a Dead Boy to remove a cross that she put up out of the despair of emptiness left by the loss of a Child, they show their true colors....
Scum
Just like you.... Scum.
suck on a Glock, bitch.

If the Mom planted 1000 crosses in her front and back yards...how many atheists do you figure would have complained?...and who would have cared if they did.

Personal space, public space, private space...those not that hard concepts to grasp.

How was the cross hurting anyone? The constitution protects religious freedom.

“Past court cases have long recognized that religious symbols serving as memorials on government property are unconstitutional.”

Roadside Cross in Lake Elsinore, CA, Must Be Removed, Says Humanist Group

That said, there are many sites along the roads I travel where every year flowers and little crosses always appear. Doesn't bother me a bit. But that's not a little cross, is it?

 

[Derideo_Te]

I have yet to have any fellow atheists give me a plausible reason why they are offended by a symbol of a religion that worships a god they do not believe exists.

The 1st amendment prohibits the government from endorsing any religion. A Christian symbol on government land is an endorsement of religion. To leave it there is a violation of the Constitution. Perhaps you can explain why you are not offended by violations of the Constitution.

It was meant to be temporary. It was in a freaking bucket.

Let the poor woman mourn her son for a time. It's the decent thong to do.

Right, because all atheists are exactly like that.

Calling all atheists the same is fine, just as soon as you call all Christians the same as Westboro Baptist and the corrupt televangelists. M'kay?

And there is a difference between wanting no religion in gov't and wanting only YOUR religion in gov't.

That said, as an atheist (or agnostic) I have no problem with displays of crosses. Well, except when the fundies rant and rave about other religious symbols being placed there too.

On public property you can too. There is no prohibition in the COTUS. There are loads of memorials all over the place on PUBLIC PROPERTY. What you may not do is deny the ability for others to do likewise.

Incorrect. Denying others the ability to do so would be an endorsement. Plain and simple.
