In my hometown there was a debate and apparently an answer about a forty foot cross that will be decidedly removed.
A group decided that this was a Christian symbol that it was offensive to them as Atheist.
Needless to say I was pissed. Then, well then it hit me. This landmark has been in my hometown for decades. The large cross had been there for so many years, that I the Christian honestly considered it a landmark. Literally when giving people directions it was normal for the locals to tell others driving in that area, you will see a big cross go halfway around and the club (yes the club is on the right)
What hit me is that Atheist notice our symbols and fret them more then we honor them. Two, do people really believe the blessings is in the symbol. The key to this entire wonderful journey is that the tomb was empty and the cross was bear.
