No Crosses For Deceased Utah Troopers
Aug 19th, 2010 by The Outsider
“The 14 crosses erected along Utah roads to commemorate fallen state Highway Patrol troopers convey a state preference for Christianity and are a violation of the U.S. Constitution, a federal appeals court said Wednesday.”
“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.”
What’s next? N0 crosses for our military men and woman who lost their lives defending our country. Those crosses and stars of David are also on public property. Why is it that a hand full of disgruntled atheists seem to overrule the majority. Those crosses are a memorial to honor the lives of those lost in battle. Likewise, the crosses along the highways in Utah are there to honor the lives of the troopers who lost their lives doing their duty to protect it’s citizens. Those troopers lost their lives on the very spot that the crosses are erected.
It does seem to indicate that there are those that seem to care more about some ill conceived notion that the “separation of church and state” exists in the U.S. Constitution than the lost lives of our men and women who are here to serve us at risk to their lives. Kind of reminds me of the Mosque that Obama believes should be built near the 9-11 site where 3000 innocent people lost their lives due to Muslim terrorists.
Again, a cross and the star of David are there to represent and to remember the lost lives of real human beings, not a religion. This is obviously very hard for those that have no religion to understand. If someone can come up with a marker to represent atheists that have been killed in the line of duty, will they be OK with that? I doubt it! It isn’t the law or the constitution that the Atheists are worried about. They just want everybody to be just like them and to deny the rights and/or wishes of those they disagree with. Many of these people have no class, no manners, are rude, crude, foul mouthed and are unsympathetic to all those that are decent. Did I say uncivil and sometimes violent?
