Its been a time-honored symbol for a long time to mark graves with a simple cross. What's next, all cemetaries will have to be redone because the beautiful religious art offends some fool attending a funeral?
I do question WHY people feel the need to decorate someone's death site, though. That's what graves are for, IMHO. I guess it does serve as a good warning that spot might be dangerous, but its a bit depressing if you drive by it every day.
I live in an area near a civil war battlefield, which is a federal park now. There are memorials everywhere. The art on some is awesome. I'm confused as to why states from both sides of the civil war have erected monuments there, but hey, whatever makes people happy. Again, its a question of why decorate a death site, but the feds seem to be all for it in the name of history. I'd sure hate to see any of these monuments removed because somebody saw something religious on them and got offended. |
Neutral - but dispute their spin on it - don't think its religious
