Texas Officials Illuminate Crosses After Atheists’ Call for Removal

[The Purge]

GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!!! It matters who we elect...Nice job Texas! More people should fight back - take a stand - like that

COLDSPRING, TX – Elected officials in an East Texas community defiantly illuminated the crosses on their courthouse after an atheist organization told them to take them down. The move came after the county judge and commissioners voted unanimously to keep the four crosses on the county building.

Breitbart News reported that the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) complained to San Jacinto County public officials about the prominent display of the “Latin cross[es].” The self-described “state/church watchdog” claims it has over 30,000 members.

The foundation issued an “Action Alert” to its supporters on May 7th saying, “A concerned Coldspring resident reported to FFRF that San Jacinto County has the crosses up all year round and even lights the crosses during the holiday season.” The organization that calls itself a “nonprophet nonprofit” asked members to “Tell San Jacinto commissioners to remove courthouse crosses.”

Don't live somewhere where authorities believe in magic and witchcraft and shit

Self-proclaimed conservatives cheering on more anti-constitutional stuff once again.

Not surprised.

One of the most bizarre creations of the Godless left wrong is the idea that the First Amendment allows, and in some cases, even requires the censorship and suppression of religious beliefs and symbols; in direct opposition to what the First Amendment actually says.

Just one more datum to demonstrate that LIbEralism is a mental disease.

1. I don't see anything in his post about the formation of the country.
2. I would guess there were at least "a few" Muslims here when the country was formed.
3. What are you trying to say with the state religion portion of that post?

We already do. That terrorist in Minnesota wears Muslim garb with the specific intent of reflecting her commitment to Islam while representing the people of her district to the US Congress.
You tell her to remove it while she’s on the clock.

Dear MarcATL
Govt can neither establish nor prohibit religion.

If people democratically agree to allow for expression,
as long as it is coming from the PEOPLE that's considered consent of the governed.

If it's dictated from the GOVERNMENT where it doesn't represent the people's consent,
then that's government establishing a religious bias.

Here, if the people of TEXAS complain, then the state should accommodate the people's authority.

People from a different state protesting what another state does,
that is like Hindus trying to tell Muslims what policies to practice.

The Federal Govt should remain neutral and allow PEOPLE to set up their own STATE policies.
They can't abuse govt to impose on other people of that state, but people within a state can
agree and decide on policies democratically.

That's a beautiful picture, The Purge. What wonderful people there must be in Coldspring. When I get my truck out of the truck hospital, I might just drive over there to admire that building. Thanks for sharing their inspiration here.

Yes. In their official representation.

A courthouse is supposed to be neutral territory open to all. This display shows the sick mindset of these people in Texas who call themselves "Christians", but apparently have no loyalty to their country. They are trying to trash both the Christian faith and American values at the same time.

This demonstrates what I have long suspected these dirty cults have been up to.

So you are saying that no one can wear religiously-inspired jewelry, lapel pins, or headgear while "on the clock"? What happened to the "religious freedom" thing?

TX AG to county: Ignore atheist group, keep crosses up
In its letter to San Jacinto County, the Office of Attorney General Ken Paxton told their fellow Texans that FFRF seeks to impose its anti-religion agenda through intimidation tactics, and while the organization threatens more than it sues, if often loses when it does go through with a lawsuit.

"We want to make it clear that your county may display historical religious symbols, like crosses, without violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment,” the letter assures the county officials.

“You should know,” the letter continues, “that you can reject FFRF's demand to impose its anti-religion bias against San Jacinto County.”

At issue is the First Amendment was incorporated. This means that it protects the people or individual from the State.
