It is simple no matter the cost their is a separation of church and state. Everyone thinks the church is being attacked but if I’m correct and I usually am religion is protected under the Constitution. So what’s the big deal people who do not want to see religious symbols in public places has that right. All the religious people can go to church on Sunday and worship, PERIOD.

@kane–You need a serious brush-up on history. Not the diluted version from school. Learn about the people who came here. Your right about America not being a Christian nation. New anymore anyway. Now everyone and their granny are here. Anyone born after 1980 has been programmed to accept this new America which has become a big pile of …. Love the Muslims, conservatives are terrorists, peter puffers and gender benders are your friend. Its insane. It wasn’t so long ago that no judge in his right mind would’ve made such a decision. Oh yea, that’s when America was a nation of Christians. Now God is gone from America (by design). Sorry to say but EVERY Anglo country on earth is being done this way. Europeans weren’t as gullible as Americans to the plan so its recently been forced on them. As much as people won’t acknowledge it (much less admit it), assimilation, muti-culturalism, and diversity, are just code for anti white. Oh well, the thin social fabric left in this nation is soon to fall apart. I can’t wait. Then you love everyone socialist yuppie liberals will cling to me for food and shelter begging protection from my bad ol firearms because the government you helped create will not be your friend. The people you care for so much will be the same ones killing, beating, raping, and looting your neighbors. And you’ll wish you lived in America (the Christian version).

Judge Vinson’s order specifically said

“To be clear: None of this is to say that the cross would have to come down if the City sold or leased the area surrounding it to a private party or non-governmental entity”

That being the case, our organization is going to to lease it from the city, in compliance with the judges order and be done with it.

If leasing was a problem, they would have to tear down every church on Pensacola Beach because it is all leased from Escambia County.

It is on public land and should be moved to a privately owned lot. If all of you “offended” “Christians” would like to donate to keep this cross up on a privately owned lot then you should take up a collection and do so. America is NOT a “Christian” country we are a country of many many many religions and all of them want to be respected not just yours. Our government should NOT foot the bill for your faith because the government has to represent EVERYONE that lives in this country. Unless of course you would also like to see a pentagram sharing space with the cross and menorah?

As I said, the cross will stay and legally…first step taking place now. It will be free legal representation and on solid legal historical precedent . It is already law and it was overlooked locally
Thank you

REGARDING:
“It’s really sad that a symbol of the very reason this country exists today is going to be removed.”

The reason the country exists today is because the people of the colonies rejected the concept of the divine right of kings to rule over their subjects. They rejected the clear teachings of the Bible when they did so. Jamestown was formed by people trying to get rich. The Pilgrims did not come for religious freedom, they already had that in the Netherlands. They came to sidestep the problem given in First Corinthians 5
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

They came to North America to get out of the world, go to a New World, because, even though the had total religious freedom in the Netherlands, they had sinful neighbors so they came here where there are no sinners — or so they figured.

Others came here because England wanted to get rid of criminals or to clear Scottish land of humans so they could raise more sheep, or to avoid punishment from crimes before they were caught, or to get to less crowded places, to be free to live as they wanted. Some came because their neighbors could get rum for them and they sold them to other people in North America who wanted slaves.

When they formed a new nation, they were not shooting for religious purposes other than Christian freedom, free to be or not be whatever kind of believer or non-believer they wanted.

The cross in question here does not establish a religion, but we should never think the people who came here wanted a particular religion to rule their lives, especially not Catholic since they tended to be quite intolerant and burn people at the stake…as did the Puritans.

1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Galatians 6:14 KJV
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world..

Rest assured that those responsible for taking the Cross down will one day have to answer to the Ultimate Judge.
