Thieves Steal Desert Cross

By Proof on Religion
Say Anything blog

What could not be done legally in court, was done by cowards in the dead of night.



<<< The 7-foot-tall metal cross in a 75-year-old war memorial that withstood the heat of the Mojave Desert and a blazing battle in the Supreme Court over its legality was ripped down and stolen Sunday night, according to federal officials.

“This is an outrage, akin to desecrating people’s graves,” said Kelly Shackelford, president of the Liberty Institute, which represents the caretakers of the Mojave Desert War Memorial. “It’s a disgraceful attack on the selfless sacrifice of our veterans. We will not rest until this memorial is re-installed.”

The National Park Service says someone cut the metal bolts holding the metal-pipe cross to the top of the memorial’s Sunrise Rock and made off with it Sunday night or before dawn on Monday. >>>

This is the second such incident in recent times. Last December, Holocaust deniers removed the historic “Arbeit Macht Frei” sign from Auschwitz that gave evidence to WWII atrocities.

Here we have Christ deniers who cannot bear the thought of a simple cross in the desert which is hardly ever seen. A cross that gives evidence to the depravity of their hearts.

Forgive my propensity to profile, but I don’t see conservatives or Christians doing this…
