US Atheists Want Cross Removed From September 11 Memorial

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18

For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Philippians 3:18
These atheists are just living examples of these verses.

What's even more angering is that they want a Cross removed from the 9/11 memorial site, however they will let a mosque representing Islamic supremacy to built near Ground Zero!!!!! The Double-Standards are enraging, mind-boggling and sickening.

08/05/2011 United States (The Christian Institute)-Atheists are going to court in America to stop a 9/11 memorial museum in New York from featuring steel beams found standing upright in the shape of a cross amid the rubble of the attacks.
The beams were seen by many New Yorkers as a beacon of hope for the city following the tragedy.
But American Atheists, the group who brought the lawsuit, say the cross is an unconstitutional mingling of church and state, and a breach of ‘equality’.
Ground Zero
Museum officials said the cross was being displayed not because of its religious value but the role it played in the aftermath of the attacks.
...
He added: “This steel remnant became a symbol of spiritual comfort for the thousands of recovery workers who toiled at ground zero, as well as for people around the world”.
Flawed
The American Centre for Law and Justice called the lawsuit “flawed”, and Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow said; “This is another pathetic attempt to rewrite the Constitution and rewrite history by removing a symbol that has deep meaning and serves as a powerful remembrance to that fateful attack nearly ten years ago”.
...
Dave Silverman, president of American Atheists, said: “As a public accommodation, the memorial must allow us [and all other religious philosophies] to include our own display of equal size inside the museum, or not include the cross.”
