The whole thing could have been avoided if the local government deeded the small area of land to a non profit group willing to maintain the cross.
Absolutely....
The Constitution does not prohibit religious expression on public land. The Constitution itself ends with the words "Year of our Lord" ...
Our city was sued for the same issue.
We have a private group maintain the ten commandments in our local park after the city deeded the small plot to them.
In the end, GOD wins and we still get to keep them right where they they are.
Amen. A lady in Tomball, Texas has had a huge cross erected on private land to honor her late son. It’s right on the new and well traveled Grand Parkway.
I hope a private landowner does the same thing within eyesight of the Florida park. I also want the courts to rule that it’s offensive to Christians to have to hear the morning call to Muslim prayer.
Nope. Idiot intolerants like the Humanist Society would object to that also.
The same people who are offended by crosses have no problem with prayer rooms and Sharia Law for Muslims.
All of which should illustrate exactly where they are coming from here and its not a very good place.
Their objective is to destroy American culture and make us a globalist, atheist, socialist society.
The passage used to promote this idiocy is “Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion, or interfere with the free exercise thereof.”
Socialists and progressives in the Federal and Supreme Court have ignored the entirety of the passage, seized on solely the first, and proceeded to the illogical conclusion that anything with religious connotations constitutes an “establishment of religion” in order to promote their agenda.
SCOTUS should be forced to revisit that one and forced to redefine it.
Excellent point. Perhaps there’s time to make it happen.
