Rebuild Church, not Mosque, at Ground Zero
Christian Broadcasting Network ^ | 8/4/10 | CBN

Posted on 08/10/2010 1:40:24 PM PDT by neverforget654

While a mosque is one step closer to being built in New York City blocks away from Ground Zero, a church that was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks has yet to be restored.

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church stood in the shadow of the Twin Towers and was crushed when the South Tower collapsed.

George Demos, the Republican candidate for Congress in the First District of New York, called the delay in rebuilding the church a disgrace and blamed the Port Authority for the hold up.

Nobody knows who is paying for the center.

The Greek church was very pretty and had been there for ages. St. Peter’s Catholic Church, located near the WTC and the oldest Catholic church in New York City, was also damaged but fortunately the diocese was able to go ahead and repair it at that time.

The Greek church was smaller and poorer, and sadly the delay meant that the issue had already become politicized and NYC was putting its full weight on the side of Islam.

We should have re-built the towers using the same blueprints modified only to make the buildings stronger and more fire resistant etc...

Then we should have re-built every damn other building that was taken down that day by those scum bags, making this a clear statement of “we will not submit, we will not surrender”.

Instead the “freedom tower” has turned into a pork barrel boondoggle project and a sign of weakness to the Middle East.

GraceG you are my kind of person! My thoughts exactly. What ever happened to our American spirit? Our in your face attitude? We are becoming, or already are, a nation of politically correct wimps. This is sad to watch. We had better get our sh!t together in a hurry or else.

Christians all over the nation should boycott NYC until this Christian church gets permission to be rebuilt. Those in charge have no respect for our faith, and give the back-of-the-bus treatment to Christians whenever they can.

Re build the Towers—bigger and stronger. In this I agree with Donald Trump. No mosques!

Actually there has been a prophecy that unless two non-denominational chapels are built in the place of the Twin Towers that New York City will get hit again.
