One of the young girls next to me was a Mormon and she thought the whole scene was ‘disgusting.’ It was apparent that she didn’t believe in Christ on the cross for all mankind.

The mormon church teaches that the cross was an instrument of torture and not to be revered, as Christians do. There are no crosses on mormon property, and you won't see mormons wearing the gold crosses of Christianity.

Just one more way for the founders to have singled out their religion as "special".

We don’t revere the cross itself, as you know. We revere the ultimate sacrifice borne by Jesus and are eternally grateful for it. The cross and crucifix remind us of that singular act.

When I had a store one of the Mormon employees would make snide little comments about the crosses in various decorations. They have a real problem with that, IMO.
