A prominent atheist group is demanding that a fire department in Georgia take down a cross that has stood outside of one of their fire stations for more than a decade. Catoosa County Fire Department serves a district in far northwestern Georgia, just across the state line from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Outside of the department’s Fire Station 3 in Graysville stands a large cross that is visible from a nearby highway. Imagery from Google Earth shows that the cross has stood there
for more than 10 years. However, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is now demanding that the cross be taken down. In a press release issued on Wednesday, the Wisconsin-based atheist group said they sent a letter to the district’s fire chief, explaining why they believe the cross is “blatantly unconstitutional.” “The religious significance of the Latin cross is unambiguous and indisputable,” FFRF stated.

It falls under “free speech”. The fire station personnel have as much right to their beliefs as atheists do to theirs. The Congress has never made a law respecting the establishment of religion OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF. It is incumbent on the atheists to prove that the presence of a cross has injured someone. If they cannot do that then it is their opinion vs someone else’s. Atheists are a minority of misfits who want the world to follow their anti-God faith. They have declared war against something they believe does not exist. That to me is the highest level of stupidity. Bibi Netanyahu noted the display of the likeness of Moses in a famous government building in Washington. The Ten Commandments are displayed in the US Supreme Court building. Are atheists having hissy fit over those? “IN GOD WE TRUST” is on our paper money and our coins. Bless their hearts, gallbladders, livers and spleens. They must be living very miserable lives
compared with those of us who know and relate to a loving Creator-Provider.
