omigorsh, omigorsh, there's a cross on public property and I can see it!........it hurts so bad I need to go to court and stop it!".......if there were a giant star and crescent statue somewhere I would not go to court to have it removed.....you might.....you're an atheist.......It is neither a tombstone nor on private property, it is on public property and that is their problem with it, you cannot have religious symbols on public property clear and simple, would you be upset if it was a giant star and crescent statue that they wanted removed?Judge says giant cross must be removed from San Diego mountain - CNN.comAn individual is still allowed to pray before a football game, heck I doubt anyone would even have an objection to a group of people praying together if they wanted to so long as they were not making it a team thing, I have not heard of anyone saying you cannot have a cross in a cemetery, if that has happened than I do agree with you that you should be allowed to have whatever kind of tombstone you would like and to deny you that is against your rights, as to the under God bit, the pledge of allegiance is used in public schools on a daily basis (I have issues with that as well but that is a different argument.) and therefore has no place constitutionally.
Yes that is the point of going to court, however the point of the court is to decide who is right and who is wrong.
