Outrage of the day.

A street sign to honor some of the firefighters who were killed on 9/11 is being protested by atheists absolute jerks.  

 

Seven Brooklyn firefighters died on 9/11 and the city chose to honor them by renaming a street, "Seven in Heaven Way."  

 

Here is what Fox News has to say on this subject:

 

A group of New York City atheists is demanding that the city remove a street sign honoring seven firefighters killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because they say the sign violates the separation of church and state. 

The street, “Seven in Heaven Way,” was officially dedicated last weekend in Brooklyn outside the firehouse where the firefighters once served. The ceremony was attended by dozens of firefighters, city leaders and widows of the fallen men. 

“There should be no signage or displays of religious nature in the public domain,” said Ken Bronstein, president of New York City Atheists. “It’s really insulting to us.” Bronstein told Fox News Radio that his organization was especially concerned with the use of the word “heaven.” “We’ve concluded as atheists there is no heaven and there’s no hell,” he said. 

“And it’s a totally religious statement. It’s a question of separation of church and state.” He was nonplussed over how his opposition to the street sign might be perceived – especially since the sign is honoring fallen heroes. “It’s irrelevant who it’s for,” Bronstein said. “We think this is a very bad thing,”  

David Silverman, president of American Atheists, agreed calling on the city to remove the sign. “It implies that heaven actually exists,” Silverman told Fox News Radio. 

“People died in 9/11, but they were all people who died, not just Christians. Heaven is a specifically Christian place. For the city to come up and say all those heroes are in heaven now, it’s not appropriate.”

“All memorials for fallen heroes should celebrate the diversity of our country and should be secular in nature. These heroes might have been Jews, they might have been atheists, I don’t know, but either way it’s wrong for the city to say they’re in heaven. It’s preachy.”

You know what?  Ken Bronstein and his ilk are insulting to real Americans.  85% of Americans identify themselves as Christian in some way.  For these few clowns to be absolute jerks and ruin a memorial to some American heroes and their families is totally outrageous.

 

Of course, this is another lesson in tolerance.  Those atheists absolute jerks are the first in line to demand tolerance from real Americans for their goofy beliefs.  Tolerance is a two way street and if they do not want to be tolerant, there is no reason why real Americans should be tolerant of them.

AMEN!  We as a society need to quit tolerating this kind of asinine behavior and do what is right.  If they don't love this country and the beliefs it was founded on, they should shut up and leave.

Being I have not had the opportunity to vote on this, I am ignoring this. I am a Christian and will remain one. I have e-mailed Senator Dean Heller, and ask him why he is accepting a pay check for not protecting the citizens.

Agenda 21 - is now in force, and we are no longer a christian nation. We are their slaves.

Ken Bronstein can bite the big one - what a jerk - no wonder this country has gotten so screwed up - you can't even honor heroes any more without some jackass voicing disapproval - what an ahole

I'm going to stop reading any posts with the word "tolerance." I've never actually heard a liberal demand tolerance. That's a made-up concept.
