Mt. Soledad cross ordered to be taken down

[Neo-Scholastic]

Marx, the cross is HUGE at 43 feet tall. It's on federal property, and the Episcopal church, literally, right next door has agreed to take it.

It's not silly to take it down at all. If we don't stand up to public funds going towards religious symbolism right now, where will the slippery slope lead?

This was built with public funds? I don't support that.

For Pete's sake! Read the article. It was built with private funds. Even I would oppose taxpayer funding. The issue is that of the free exercise of the people's religious beliefs on property owned by the people. The government of the people owns the sidewalk too. Are you going to ban people from wearing religious symbols on the publicly owned streets or in publicly owned buildings too? Religious groups have just as much right as any other group to use public property on which displays of conscience are displayed. Go get you secular humanist manifesto, or whatever floats your boat, carve it on a monument and place it next to the cross. Issue solved. Freedom preserved. The alternative is just censorship, plain and simple.
