crosses are a symbol of life after death. The cross does not promote the jewish faith, it does not promote the baptist, presbyterian, lutheran, catholic, etc. facets of christianity. It is a symbol of eternal life. No one is telling anyone that they have to believe in one religion. THAT is what the 1st amendment protects us from - that there will not be the establishment of one religion in this country that all must worship. The cross is a symbol of speech. These liberal weenies would not have a problem burning American flags on this site as "freedom of speech and expression", however, to display a cross is somehow infringing on the rights of those who don't agree with it. Well, I'm offended and my rights are being infringed upon by this type of behavior but no one is standing up for me or the rest of us.
We have to take our country back.
I really don't have a problem with the cross and I don't believe we should run around tearing down things built in the past. Just that if they promote a religion no more should be built on public land. I would disagree with your meaning of the cross. In general it is the symbol of Christianity and in some countries of other religions you can be killed for wearing it. In general religions all promote a theology of state and has throughout history. Very little progress was made until there was a separation of state and religion.
