Mother Removes Cross Memorial After Dispute With Atheist Rights Group

38. I am not surprised that it was left standing.

It's important to note that this kind of thing goes both ways.

Just in the past week there have been multiple posts stating that all religious people have psychiatric illnesses and just today one that said all believers of the major religions are bigots.

While this post attacks a group vaguely defined as leaders within atheism, those people are not members here and no members were attacked.

OTOH, the other posts that attack all people of faith, and they are very frequent, do attack members here.

If both sides would stop with the ugliness, things would get better all the way around, but some seem to have a vested interest in making this an ongoing fight in which they must vanquish the other side.

That's really unfortunate, as I think members here have more in common than they do differences.

I think if you posted something equally ugly about religious leaders, it would be left standing and by a much wider margin. I can say that with certainty because it happens very frequently.

And honestly, I think "rallying the troops" around this just feeds the fire and am sorry to see that it has happened.
