Atheists Wanting To Take Down Cross and Solution

Read This First.


Now, I've come up with a much simpler solution.  Offer to sell the parking lot for a dollar.  Now, the new owner will allow the city to continue to use the parking lot.  Problem solved, since the land is now private property.


What about upkeep?

The new owner of the parking lot will not have to do anything.  Since it is his/her land though, he/she will have to pay for all of the upkeep.  However, the city will refund the him/her with a check.

Or the owner can donate the money.


EDIT: How about this?  Go ahead and move the monument, but move it to a private area that will make it MORE visible to others.

There is a town not to far from where I live called Nelsonville, and there is a GIANT cross on a hill overlooking the town.  It's called Betty's Cross.

Here are some of the comments from the article that I find striking.


I have another problem. Arlington Cemetary is littered with crosses and Stars of David. Let's go 
and pull them all up because, after all, they are on government land.




What I don't understand is why atheists can't ignore it. Christians ignore atheist billboards and all the other media out there. Why can't we just live and let live. It seems to me if you don't believe in Christianity you would just laugh at it the same as I would laugh at people who believe in aliens. Why is it so important to take it away from others?






I have to say.  Atheism is becoming its own religion.  Dictionary.com defines religion as,

1.

a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purposeof the universe, especially when considered as the creationof a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involvingdevotional and ritual observances, and often containing amoral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

2.

a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generallyagreed upon by a number of persons or sects: the Christianreligion; the Buddhist religion.

3.

the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefsand practices: a world council of religions.

Atheism sounds a whole lot like this to me.
