[July 4th]

The atheists suggest the association could honor the troopers with a non-denominational symbol.

I suggest that the atheists shut the hell up.

Okaaaay....I don't think you wanna go there, pard.

[trebb]

I would love a cross put up in my memory. All they have to do is offer to put up a puddle of scum (or any other icon they would enjoy) in memory of the atheists and all should balance out.

Would "The Finger" satisfy them?

Riiiiight, cause we know that Christians murdered some 6 million atheists and....

Oh wait, that was the atheistic Communists who murdered 100 million. Never mind.

[Edgerunner]

Why should they be so upset if they are so sure that GOD doesn't exist?

What a drama queen. I'm surprised he can leave the house without a diaper.

[atomicpossum]

So, it's the athiests' contention that being employed by the state removes your right to be represented, post mortem, by a religious symbol (I assume these men were Christian)?

Why not sue Arlington Cemetery?

They claim there is "no" God, yet here they are playing god.

Well, that's only reasonable. After all, we know that millions of athiests have been systematically murdered by Christians. </gag>

If the troopers are non-denominational then use a non-denominational symbol. If the troopers are jewish, use the Star of David. If the troopers are muslim, use the Crescent thingy.

What's the friggin' problem here?

[Mr. Keys]

If everything Christian offends the athiests, perhaps they all should find an athiest country and get the Hell out of here. They offend alot of people.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I'll never understand why atheists are so offended by things they believe are false.

It's akin to me being offended by Easter Bunny decorations.

[atomic conspiracy]

"Richard Andrews said, 'I feel the same way a Jew might feel if you put a state symbol on a swastika'"

Since he presumably hasn't killed anyone yet, Andrews has no idea how a Jew might feel under those circumstances. By word order, this jackass is equating the memorial with a swastika and the crosses with a state symbol. He isn't even trying to make sense. Some leftard Vietcong professor probably told him that lurid analogies would get media play and that appears to be all he knows. It's just more deranged hyperbole from the Left and more proof that they're out of ideas.

"Three Utah atheists, backed by a national organization based in Texas, are filing suit against the state for allowing crosses to be erected in honor of highway patrol troopers, who have died in the line of duty.

Richard Andrews said, "I feel the same way a Jew might feel if you put a state symbol on a swastika"

That has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Crosses erected to honor Highway Patrol Officers killed in the line of duty, offends these atheist idiots like a swastika offends Jewish people? I would like my foot to offend his a$$.

[sono]

Hey Atheists - Uncle Sam has a nondenominational symbol for you

[OpusatFR]

"The atheists suggest the association could honor the troopers with a non-denominational symbol."

And violate the religious beliefs of the trooper and family?

Enough. The nazi comparison is just offensive and the idea that the cross is nazism is so bigoted and offensive, so demeaning to Christians, that this group of atheists should apologize.

Is this not ridiculous??

[Right Wing Professor]

Speaking as a atheist, this protest is dumb. Assuming they also allow any reasonable form of memorial to accomodate non Christians, memorializing people with a symbol they found meaningful, be it Cross, Star of David, Crescent, or whatever, should offend no one.

And yet after saying this, this guy will probably expect other people to take him seriously.

He would probably be a lot of fun to bait in person.
