Court Calls Out Angry Atheists for Near Supernatural Claims Against the Ground Zero Cross
ACLJ - The American Center for Law and Justice ^ | Jul. 3, 2014 1:52 PM | Matthew Clark

Posted on 07/07/2014 1:54:59 AM PDT by WhiskeyX

From day one, angry atheists have made outlandish claims about the Ground Zero Cross – the two intersecting steal beams in the shape of a cross that was found in the wreckage of the World Trade Center following 9/11.

Not only have they made these absurd claims in public (calling it “offensive and repugnant”), they’ve made them in federal court. Now a federal appeals court is calling them out and demanding they provide a rational explanation as to how their “offense” constitutes a constitutional claim.

I admire the religious zeal of these atheists.

The Ground Zero Cross turned me into a newt. You’re not a newt. Well I got better.

It’s comical. They think they have a constitutional right to not see something.

Actually none of them believe what they say, it’s merely their job to push the envelope and push religion out of America.

I want to know why no defense attorney/prosecutor/depending ever asks in court if the people involved in the suit receive funds from groups like Tides, Pew etc. that fund anti-faith groups.

If they answer yes, then they slit their throat in front of the judge/jury. If they answer no, then the discovery process should have already provided proof they do. If not, a simple online lookup will confirm it. In either case they will have perjured themselves and thus slit their own throats.

Bot this never happens. Why?

"the two intersecting steal beams..."

Typical journalist grammatical ignorance...

Sorry to say, this is a press release by ACLJ and, as such, untouched by 'journalists'. I am a fan and supporter of the ACLJ and think / KNOW that they do good work. Tis a shame when these very minor things mar important issues.

Hatred of Jesus Christ is the root of liberalism and the Democrat party.

But some seem to think a typo is the most important thing in the article.

Perhaps the angry atheists should foment their anger at those who created the cross.

Did any of these atheists complain about the Ground Zero Mosque?

I can't help but want to offer them a Biblical solution " If thine eye offend thee.................."

My wife’s nephew was raised in a good home, went to church, allegedly saved and was a youth leader. He went to college and bought into the atheistic leftist agenda and now is a full of rage and hate. He’s arrogant and spiteful toward his Christian family members thinking himself a “thinking and enlightened man of pure science”.

In my run in with him I just told him his hate of Christians, Jews and hate in general is going to burn him up inside to which he said I don’t hate anyone. Really I replied, you should read your writings, it drips with rage and anger toward anyone of faith.

And in order for you to promote your atheism you can only mock and ridicule Christians, Jews and people of faith, tell me why would I want to travel your rage filled route where all you have to offer is hate, arrogant condescension and mockery? I told him and I would be praying for him, that he knows better. I ignore his stupidity for the most part. He is one miserable critter and nothing satisfies him and he brought it on himself.

The other question is -- if the plaintiffs indeed feel displaying the cross “marginalizes them as American citizens” -- then how is that a “particular and concrete injury" compared to just “the abstract stigmatization of atheists generally.”

I would love to hear their answer to that one.

Sorry to hear about your nephew. Have a brother in similar situation. Sad but not surprising. Nothing has changed since Cain and Abel.

Liberals and Democrats are the party of Cain.

A man in Chicago said that you should be careful with your words and never say anything that you can't later quote with the words “Your honor” after you words.

Saying despicable things about the Cross will not hold up in Court on the Day of Judgment when they have to say “Your Honor”...
