The 9/11 Cross

Do you ever wonder why some people who don't believe in God and Jesus Christ spend so much time and money fighting Them? Doesn't make a lot of sense does it. Still, there's a group of athiests who can't handle the presence of the 9/11 Cross in the National September 11 Memorial.

The 20-foot cross — two steel beams that had held together as the building collapsed — was discovered in the rubble of Ground Zero on September 13, 2001, by construction worker Frank Silecchia. The 9/11 cross became a venerated object, and many of those who were searching for survivors and clearing debris from the “pit” took solace from its existence. On October 4, 2001, it was moved to a pedestal on Church Street, where it was treated as a shrine by visitors to Ground Zero for the next five years. In October 2006 it was removed to storage, and in July 2011 it was returned to the site for installation in the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.

The cross will not be displayed in the memorial; it will be included in a section of the museum featuring ways workers sought to “[find] meaning at Ground Zero.” Its inclusion is for historical purposes, and not as a religious memorial. Yet the American Atheists decided that this was offensive and filed a lawsuit alleging that the display of the cross violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, equal-protection laws, and civil-rights statutes.

The above photo is how the cross will be displayed. Learn more about the above lawsuit at the National Review Online.

Contrast this cross, which survived the 9/11 atrocity, with the wicked "face of evil" who personalized this despicable act of war with his grotesque representation in the following post.
