Atheists offended by cross a thousand miles away
Lawsuit seeks removal of historic Pensacola monument
Published: 12 hours ago
 

One of the four people who sued to tear down a historic cross in a Pensacola, Florida, park lives outside of town. A second reserved the cross location for his own “satanic” practices. And two others live more than 1,000 miles away in Canada.

But the four say they are so offended and injured by the very existence of the city’s cross – which has been in a city park there since World War II – that it must be torn down.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Quote
It argues three of the plaintiffs have virtually no exposure to the cross, and the fourth “contacted the city and ‘tried to reserve the site of the cross for Easter Sunday.’ A church had already reserved the site for that day, but when [the plaintiff] ‘complained,’ ‘the church graciously agreed to move to another area in the park’ to permit [him] to use the cross. [The plaintiff] then proceeded to use the cross for his ‘satanic purposes.'”

That last group isn't atheist, they're the opposition.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
