About the Maryland Peace Cross would someone please explain to me why non-believers want to take it down. It did it's job making the dead bodies rotting in France and Belgium feel a lot better about their sacrifice. A lot of them as they lay in the dirt with their arms and legs blown off and guts scattered all over the place must have felt relieved that years later, on the other side of the world, concerned, empathetic patriots would erect a cross to ward off demonic spirits.

The dedication should read, “Don't worry, we got you covered-- not just dirt.” We're not going to let any followers of Lucifer ruin your afterlife. This cross will scare the crap of them just like the sign of the cross Van Helsing flashed before Count Dracula making him cringe in fear. This cross will scare the shit out of them and you'll feel great that you make a worthy trade-off in giving up your life for your country.

Also, think about the banks that lent millions to France and Britain. At least now they'll get paid some of it back.

All right, all right. The key question here is: suppose Christ was executed by firing squad. Would it be appropriate for Christians to wear little gold rifles on their necklaces and rings?

SCOTUS made the decision based on its long time standing out there in the field, attempting to say old stuff can stay because..... taking it down is an attack on religion. Read RBG's dissent and the basic WTF about everyone now driving along and getting blasted with xestianity who aren't.

Because it's a religious symbol that's maintained using taxpayer money. Also, this:

"Just as a Star of David is not suitable to honor Christians who died serving their country, so a cross is not suitable to honor those of other faiths who died defending their nation," Ginsburg wrote in her dissent, joined by a fellow liberal, Justice Sonia Sotomayor. "Soldiers of all faiths 'are united by their love of country, but they are not united by the cross.'"
