Sounds like a Tower of Babel. Reaching higher and higher.

Same here! Now I'm already daydreaming about lunch! Pineapple, olives, onions, thick crust...

'nuff said.

I'm an atheist... and I say Mr. Monaghan is entitled to build whatever religious monument he wishes on his own property, and with his own resources.

More power to him.

Hmmmm Hawaiin Pizza.

When I lived in Washington State they had a place that had Taco Salad Pizza. It was really very good. And they had a Papa Murphy's (before Papa Johns - he stole the name) and Papa Murphys had the best pizza I have ever had drom a chaintype store.

It's his own private property. He can put up whatever he wants. Whoever doesn't like it can make fun of it.

this will offend people in this multireligious area.

hehe, I, too, think she is a MINO. Somehow I can't imagine Methodist founder, John Wesley, saying, "this will offend people in this multireligious area."

Pizza is pizza, it's all good.

Oh God, that is just wrong all over the place. There is a HUGE difference in one pizza to another. Have you ever eaten a Little Caesars pizza? Ack. It's like munching on a cardboard box only more tasteless.

A simple cross would work much better since He is no longer on the cross.

I agree.

I beg to differ. I find the thin crust to be a pleasant change of pace. Either way, Tom has my support!

"The religious aspect (of the crucifix) doesn't really bother me, and I'm Jewish," Karen Mendelson said. "But I just don't like things sticking up in the air. And at 25 stories, it's going to be absurd looking."

I'm Jewish and I believe in private property.

It's the man's own money and property. The only public issue is whether the statue is structurally sound.
Whether I like looking at it is irrelevant.

Just plain none of my business.

I was never a FLAG WAVER nor one to wear my religion on my sleeve. Guess what? I now have a large flag in front of my home, on my SUVS and I wear a flag with a cross on my caps, (courtesy of the Rev. Dr, James Kennedy). Any SOB who's offended will be more offended when I punch them in the nose.

I'm sure the people who advertise the "World's Largest Crucifix" in Indian River, Michigan can't be happy about this.

It reminds me of a line from a movie I saw, can't remember exactly, but went like this, "We're not very religous, we're Methodists".

Some Methodists are that way, others are not. I am Methodist and very religious.

There is a cross erected on top of a hill in southern Illinois, near Cobden and Alto Pass, Illinois. It is on the 2nd highest elevation in the state. You can see it for miles. It is especially beautiful at night when it is lighted and appears to float in the air, as you can't see the hill it is on. It is called "Bald Knob Cross," and I don't think anyone there, or who sees it, would ever consider complaining about it. It is one of my favorite places to see. BSW

I like the line in some vampire movie--when asked if he would like to say Grace, the character say, "no thanks, I'm an atheist. Thank God for that."
I say build it.
