Atheists Sue to Keep The Cross at Ground Zero Out of the 9/11 Museum

A national atheist group has filed a lawsuit to keep the fused steel t-joint that resembled the Christian cross out of the 9/11 museum set to open on September 12th, 2011. Here is how David Silverman, the group's president, puts it:

"It has been blessed by so-called holy men and presented as a reminder that their god, who couldn't be bothered to stop the Muslim terrorists or prevent 3,000 people from being killed in his name, cared only enough to bestow upon us some rubble that resembles a cross. It's a truly ridiculous assertion."

This is the doofus they put in charge to be the face of the group. I wonder what kind of attitude their second choice has? Or if anyone realizes if insisting there is any religious meaning behind the cross is ridiculous, then so is their complaint about it? atheists cannot have it both ways.

I do not have to even bring in my Christian beliefs to argue how this lawsuit is wrong. That was discovered standing strong in the rubble of the World Trade Center. It brought hope and encouragement for rescuers to keep looking for survivors. The cross is an authentic, physical reminder of 9/11 that invokes the emotions of those rescuers who saw it as inspiration to keep going. It is a part of the history of 9/11 and its aftermath, therefore it belongs in the museum.
