I was thinking about that myself. You would think that if crosses offend them, their heads would be spinning all over the place! The cross was found in the rubble; it wasn't manufactured. So, in a way, it doesn't have to be related to religion. It is just a piece of the twin towers that came down, and was used as a memorial. It just happens to be a symbol of the Christian faith. I just want to slap whiners and haters all the way to the curb. And, if you are an atheist, and have no religion, how can you protest against symbols of faith? So convoluted. Our world has become ridiculous. Period.
It isn't the cross that offends atheists. It is the fact that you believe in Christ and they don't.
They are jealous of the beliefs of Christians . You have an afterlife and they just get dirt in their face.
This obsesses them that you have faith. They feel left out.
The Cross , any cross they see every day is a constant reminder that their life will end at death while yours will go on.
They would also like to believe that with death they will be received into a better world.
We all like to believe that. They would like to believe that some day they will be re-united with loved ones.
That we will meet in a world without war, a land of constant love.
That we will be rewarded for being faithful and for being good Christians while in this world.
That even if we stray once in a while from being good Christians we still have a chance at being saved , if we believe.
They do not have this crutch, because they cannot believe. so they are jealous of Christians beliefs' and they try to destroy these beliefs.
So you will be just as miserable as they are.
