You can't chastise a group for what morons post on their websites. And that's what lots of people seem to be doing...

Also this is quite a dickish lawsuit...

I don't see this article indicting the whole of Christendom. I see this article indicting those who claim to be Christian, who are conducting themselves in this manner in opposition to the AA's lawsuit, when they're allegedly followers of Christ who taught peace, tolerance, love for one's neighbor as one's self.
I've said I think the suit is absurd. And I agree with AA in one respect, that this memorial should include icons from every faith, if there's to be any memorial at ground zero at all, that would include the symbol for "A" atheists as well. Not everyone in that building was Christian. Not every surviving family member of the lost wants their beloved family and/or friends to be memorialized in the shadow of a religious icon that their family member(s) or friend(s) would not have afforded personal allegiance to as a faith or symbol when alive.

It's damn presumptuous to imply this is one nation under one god. And it's insulting to the dead to demarcate what amounts to a tomb, given not all the remains of the lost have been recovered, nor shall they be, with one religious symbol that in itself represents a religion who's history, as those faithful in the article portray of themselves today, was just as bloody, just as intolerant, just as murderous in furtherance of it's cult dynamic upon the masses deemed worthy of conversion across the world, as those terrorist's who in the name of that other Abrahamic faith Islam, demonstrated about theirs when they hijacked 4 planes and murdered thousands, while inspired unto martyrdom by their ideal religion of peace.

A lawsuit to force equal rights for representation at the memorial of all faiths and those who bore no faith, would send a message. A lawsuit attempting to force the removal of one icon, because AA takes exception, is missing the point.

I'm pretty certain the USA is getting more batshit crazy everyday.

^This, this, and THIS. I am uncertain why they were so late to build this thing anyway.

Do we really think the dead could actually give a fuck? I wonder sometimes...
