I'd like to see a Star of David painted on that plywood...

Uh, most atheists don't support this kind of stupidity, erasing a nation's history is just plain wrong. As an atheist, I opposed the Taliban's destruction of mountain-sized buddha carvings, and for the same reason I oppose taking down the mojave cross.

@rmx01indiana according to majority opinions, I am not.

The state is not confronting any religious group except the Christians. Our president has made statements such as "this is not a Christian nation". Duh, Mr. President, read the history of the United State of America. Read the Constitution. Read the Decleration of Independence. God himself will have the final word.

@hvnbndwarriorprinces yeah isn't it ironic that those very words are being used by the state to confront any religion. It isn't even involved with worship, just seemingly to keep people from gathering with any common belief in - anything. Just keep the people from getting together in anything that may unite them.

@hvnbndwarriorprinces I just did a search and found this is what it said regarding this subject:: The term “separation of church and state” comes from a letter Thomas Jefferson sent to the Danbury Baptist (sic), to set their fears to rest regarding any government interference with their worship

@default013 To those that claim to be aetheist - If God is not real (in your opinion) they why are you so worried and waste so much time putting someone down that doesn't exist? Hmmmmm, doesn't make any sense does it?

[hvnbndwarriorprinces]

@cvirtue Your not just atheist but sound like you are just plain evil.

[hvnbndwarriorprinces]

The reason for the separation of church and state has been misused. The reason for the separation was to protect the church from the state interfering with the church's rights.  Read your history if you do not believe it. You can tear down everything about God but you still cannot touch Him and His love even for ;you his haters. They killed Jesus too didn't they? Would you have done the same?

[ImDiscombobulated]

@intermediatespecies Yes, you are a hater. To go out of your way to censor a cross in the middle of BFE as there are many crosses along the highways that go unscathed by the HATE people have for God that many died in His name to bring freedom to this nation.

It wasn't "state" recognized anyhow or endorsed by it. I bet you have less concern for items dumped in the desert. How much effort over this cross have you given in comparison? I am sure the priorities are hate over concern.

I am not a hater, I just don't want religious symbols on public property. Church-State separation
