| Militant Atheists Force Grieving Family to Remove Cross
How sick do you have to be to bully and harass a grieving mother? Only a bunch of sick hatefilled wannabe totalitarians would do this. But that's the kind of people they are. Sick, antisocial fanatics. Remember, the Ground Zero cross formed by I beams and found by rescue workers ... it gives atheists dyspepsia, anxiety, and depression they claim. Of course, they're lying ... they just want the cross destroyed. Atheists haven't yet sued to get crosses removed from military cemeteries, but THEY WILL.
There is a reason militant atheists always seem so unpleasant when they come on TV to hector us. If they were nice people, they wouldn’t devote their energy to eradicating all traces of Christianity:
AnnMarie Devaney agreed to remove a 5-foot cross she put up on the side of a road in Lake Elsinore [California] to honor her 19-year-old son Anthony, who was struck by a car and killed two years ago… The American Humanist Association in Washington, D.C., caught wind of the cross and sent her a demand letter dated March 4 calling for her to remove it.
Militant atheists are able to make these imperious demands because they know liberal judges will back them up in their absurd proposition that the First Amendment — which guarantees religious liberty — actually forbids anything that reminds moonbats of Christians on government property.
Radical environmentalists employ a similar strategy, but instead of counting on fellow traveler judges to back them up from within the system, they work with the comparably tyrannical EPA.
This isn’t the American Humanist Association’s only success in Lake Elsinore:
The association reportedly just got a judge to agree to block the installation of a monument outside Diamond Stadium in the same town, which is southeast of Los Angeles. It depicted a soldier kneeling before a cross-topped grave.
With the Anthony Devaney memorial, people are putting up some resistance. When AnnMarie Devaney went to the site of her son’s death to remove the cross at the insistence of the “humanists,” she
was met at the scene by a throng of supporters who planted crosses of their own.
“They said they have to take that one down,” Doug Johnson, a Riverside resident who traveled to the site with his daughter and six home-made crosses, told The Riverside Press-Enterprise. “But they didn’t say anything about putting another one up.”
For every cross authoritarians destroy in the name of “tolerance,” a dozen more should rise.

Grieving California mom takes down cross on road after group’s protest, more appear
A grieving California mom who, under pressure from an atheist group, went to the site where her son was killed to remove a memorial cross was met at the scene by a throng of supporters who planted crosses of their own.
"They said they have to take that one down," Doug Johnson, a Riverside resident who traveled to the site with his daughter and six home-made crosses, told The Riverside Press-Enterprise. "But they didn't say anything about putting another one up."
AnnMarie Devaney agreed to remove a 5-foot cross she put up on the side of a road in Lake Elsinore to honor her 19-year-old son Anthony, who was struck by a car and killed two years ago, the paper reported. The American Humanist Association in Washington, D.C., caught wind of the cross and sent her a demand letter dated March 4 calling for her to remove it. The association said that its placement on city property violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
"It's so petty and sad that they have to complain over removing a cross" - AnnMarie Devaney
"It's so petty and sad that they have to complain over removing a cross," she said. "It's his personal preference that he was Christian. What's wrong with having a cross up?"
Devaney was emotional when she was at the site and said she was moved by her supporters. She was joined by her family and other families that brought their own cross. A woman in attendance told the paper that she is the stepmother of the driver struck Devaney's son as he crossed Lake Street near an exit ramp, the paper reported.
