Jon Stewart Asks American Atheists About Ground Zero "cross" Y do U Give a shit?

[Autumnlicious]

I'm not against the cross at all. It has become a symbol of remembrance as much as it is a symbol of religion. However, that statement was utterly stupid.

I call bull. There are regions of the world where no doubt some of the victims of 9/11 came from which have a completely different cultural symbol of remembrance. So to think that the designers looked for the best symbol to represent all the victims seems a bit... unlikely given the following:

Instead of going for the usual drab and bland secular memorials, what they chose for the "symbol of remembrance" just happened to be the favored symbol of the country's largest religious majority. How convenient.

Instead of keeping with past tradition for memorials, like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, they insisted on their specific design, a cross.

Against the cross. Just a giant thrust towards what the most religious want instead of keeping with the nontheistic memorials.
