On July 27, 2011, ABC World News reported that an atheist group sued over the inclusion of a cross-shaped piece of beam wreckage, dubbed the World Trade Center Cross. It stands on display in the National September 11th Memorial and Museum at ground zero.
Those suing say the cross is nothing more than an “ugly piece of wreckage” that “does not represent anything but horror and death.” The American Atheists claim the cross-shaped beams promotes Christianity over all other religions and diminishes the civil rights of non-Christians. The Cross, rather than a symbol of Christianity, is a symbol of the cross on which Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. Jesus was not a Christian.
The cutting edge of science has at last admitted that consciousness is fundamental to everything that is. God, in my estimation, is the Supreme Consciousness of the Universe, admittedly an impersonal view. The Christian concept that God is the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is the personification of everything that is. No problem, but it is limiting.
Jesus preached against state religion. For this, he was crucified. The legal action to remove the cross is actually the dumbed-down playing into the hands of state control of the individual. Nothing in the Gospels says Jesus preached Christian values, or for that matter any accepted religious value. Jesus was here to set the human spirit free. As a matter of fact, Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites and wolves in sheep’s clothing. American Atheists are the Pharisees going to Pontius Pilate. It is a move to enslave us.
How on earth can American Atheists say the cross promotes Christianity over all other religions? America is not a Christian nation. Thomas Jefferson was not a Christian. Jefferson was a deist. He believed in God on the evidence of reason and nature, with rejection of supernatural revelation. A Christian called me a secular humanist. I looked up the term. Secular humanism: Any set of beliefs that promotes human values without specific allusion to religious doctrines. The cross at the World Trade Center is silent reminder of what religion can do to people. Religion is responsible for destroying the World Trade Center and murdering over three thousand people. What would you call American Atheists? Religion: a body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices; something a person believes in and follows devotedly. American Atheists is a misguided religion. In my religion, I’m a God-self. I believe in the Constitution and inalienable rights, rights American Atheists, by putting the cart before the horse, want to eliminate.
Is it the luck of the draw that in my twilight years all my dreams have come true? I studied the Constitution, and this is very important, with the idea of actively using it to protect my inalienable rights. The very thought gives one the sense of voices of the past speaking to you. You feel picked. Oh, but rest assured you will be viciously attacked by the powers that be if you dare demand your inalienable rights, and constantly reminded that voices of the past are with you. American Atheists are using the Constitution in an attempt to deprive me of my inalienable rights. By keeping faith that the law of all times is on your side, you will untimely win. In my case , the powers that be hung themselves with their own rope.
When I cut from the herd in 1975 and went on my own, I was not religious. I was not anything. I was seeking an identity. I left my old life in Texas on Good Friday and arrived in Miami on Easter Sunday. At the time, it meant nothing to me. I’ve lately come to believe that the crucifixion of Jesus was so I could be free. I revere the cross. I’m not a Christian. I don’t follow the doctrines and dogmas, but I believe Jesus is my savior and redeemer. I’m empowered. God’s spirit lives in me. Too bad about atheists.
