It would be nice to know what size the lot is. A huge illuminated cross on a 50 or 75 foot lot in a densely populated neighborhood colud be a real nuisnce for the nieghbors and properly prohibited by the local zoning code, as long as it didn’t single out religious symbols.
You don’t need a 24’ Cross to show your a Christian. Your actions should portray that... and this guy needs to rethink his outreach.
“I’m not looking to be a bad neighbor, I believe in God, I believe in being Christian, but if you are truly Christian, then you would be supporting and respecting your neighborhood,” said Fera.
HUH? How about respecting God and glorifying Him
Mark 12:31
If the Cross does not violate any existing ordinances then it should remain.
Why is the guys motive relative?
I gotta believe that if the guy had a giant illuminated crescent on his lawn....the cowards would keep their mouths zipped...
A top heavy structure like that, to be safe, requires a suitable foundation. And that probably requires a building permit. Then there are the zoning height and setback requirements. Seasonal decorations, if safe, get a pass but this guy states his cross is there for the duration. The city will abate it eventually.
I am all for property rights,and I am a Christian, but I am not too sure I would want a 24 foot illuminated cross next door to me either.
She wouldn’t like my Christmas display then.....Lighted Cross, lighted sign....and the Cross will go back up for Easter. Granted the Cross is only 5 ft tall.
Guy is a d***k.
There is no reason to build a monument on your property bigger and bigger each time a neighbor complains.
God commands us to live in faith quietly so as not to offend others with the arrogance of our piety.
anyone have a picture?
how big is big?
If it is a 4ft cross ok. (with properly code established electrical work)
If it is 15ft with search lights shining, then it is an issue.
I know a few contractors who elected to pay a fine because it was cheeper than temporary storage.
