Atheist Group Files Lawsuit To Stop Display of World Trade Center Cross
 A group of atheists has filed a lawsuit in New York to stop the display of the World Trade Center cross at a memorial of the 9/11 terror attacks. The cross is made up of two intersecting steel beams that held up when the twin towers collapsed. It's iconic to some, but the atheist group says the cross serves of as a reminder that God didn't stop 3,000 people from being killed. They also object to the display of a religious symbol using public funds. The lawsuit names several defendants, including the state of New Jersey and the city of New York. The cross was recently moved from near a church to its new home at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. http://www.lex18.com/news/atheist-group-files-lawsuit-to-stop-display-of-world-trade-center-cross |
