Reply #21: If it is flame bait

[Why Syzygy]

the mods will lock it. Might get moved to "Religion", but it is not flame bait.

I hate those little white crosses with the very cheap and gawdy fake flowers on them people stick on the roads. We all have had losses. You don't see me putting a pentagram all over every place someone has used as a departure point from this existence (into the next).

What does the cross have to do with being slaughtered on the road (line of duty or not)?

Fodder? For Fox? Maybe you know them better than I. I don't care if they report this. Even if they screw it around to make the crosses look like the "victim" here. That's the whole meaning of the cross, is it not?

How about stepping above the clouds and allowing those of us who choose to celebrate life in a different way than the dooms-day x-tians have our space.

edit: proofread .. my post sounds harsh. I don't mean that the departed should not be respected and remembered. I'm of a mixed mind, as usual. IMO, the family members need to move on. Loss is a very real and large part of Life. OTOH, I can understand loved ones wanting to memorialize and honor the life.

I just thought of Cindy S. and the white crosses @ Crawford.
In that case, I would have to agree with the use of the cross.
They sacrificed. The families continue to.

If anything I would think x-tians would be outraged that a sacred symbol is used in such a manner.

Just in case anyone is wondering . . . Jesus did not invent the cross.
