Atheist Group Forces Grieving Mother To Remove Roadside Cross

You can't possibly tell me that Hemant Mehta is worthy of insulting. He's probably the friendliest atheist I've discovered thus far.

I can't watch the vid here at work, but I can comment on that - I've had the pleasure of meeting Hemant and having dinner with him when he came to talk for our local group. He really is that nice through and through, and it's really calming to be in his presence.

As for shit on the roadsides - we already miss many of the signs that are on the roads because there are too many distracting signs as it is. We had a rather busy intersection near my house which constantly had accidents happening before we installed traffic lights. The display in the middle of the intersection got bigger and bigger as people added onto existing displays because they never took them down. Sometimes stuffed washed into the street and caused a hazard. I understand wanting to memorialize your loved one, but no one gives a shit on a public road (they don't know them anyway) and it potentially causes further distractions and accidents.
