So That Is What Happened To It...

The erected cross. Kinda funny way to assort words. Perhaps it is an inside joke with priests. In a Spanish or Irish accent, "...and thank the Lord for your ERECTED CROSS. I know I did. Right boys."

Wow man, the super stupid and controversial, Mojave Cross, yes, that Mojave Cross, has been found two years later and in Half Moon Bay of all places. In case you are not one of those cool atheists that keep up on the atheist news (which is really religion news)...

...there was a cross on public land, there was a lawsuit, I guess it got stolen, but then some believers bought the small patch of land (in the middle of no where), built another cross and erected that, but then the judge shut that one down also but before someone could steal it, it was boxed up...literally boxed up (unless there are two cross cases and I'm mixing them up, seriously.). Anyhoo...


First of all it was wrong for those atheists to steal the cross (yes, I do believe that it was teen aged irresponsible atheists...or a teenage Christian conspiracy to frame the New Atheists. This is a job for Dan Brown). It's not your property. It doesn't belong to you. I believe that the greatest and most important topic in the next decade and decades to come is religion and secular society. I believe in separation of church and state as much as you (perhaps even more, because I understand...you can't fuckin' steal for your cause. That doesn't change shit. Idiots), but myself and the millions of other atheists that did not steal a cross in the middle of the dessert know where to draw the line. Your actions make us all look bad.

What if a black dude commits a crime like burglary or robbery or something. He makes all black people look stupid head (I didn't create society, I just acknowledge the sociology of it). What if you are an Asian dude in a suped up...Honda Accord with a shitty haircut (you know the haircuts. C'mon bros). That is why people look twice at me when I cruz down the street in a Volkswagen bus or a non-Toyota-Honda car. The point...it makes us all look bad.

In 2010 a judge declared teh correct and stated that to have a totally religious symbol on public land is sooooo unconstitutional (because it is). Before that wuz the epic battles in court, lots of time and money wasted while the whole time, super obviously, SUPER, the back and forths, the  name calling (oh, the name calling. stop), then finally...the obvious conclusion of no religion, any religion on public land. WTF.

What if we erected a Filipino on public land on a cross, would that be cool...only in the Philippines.

This is just like prayer in the classroom or injecting non-science into the science classroom...the shit will never end. Unfortunately this is one of those battles in the battle for secular society that we will halfta fight over and over again. The American Christian right is still fighting the Scopes Monkey Trail (1), if Team Prog-Lib falls asleep at the wheel, I wouldn't doubt that in the future a women's right to choose would no longer be a legal choice (2). The stupid Cross in the dessert is another one of those everlasting battles we need to add to the list.

Team Believer has the very heartfelt, but super week, argument of it represents all the fallen soldiers of this country, it's not a religious symbol. Team Secular says, "WTF". First we also want to honor all the fallen soldiers that fought for our freedom (3) and yes, yes indeed a cross IS a religious symbol (5).

Piss Christ is spectacular art on the highest level. The artist is a believer and to delve into his reasoning is deep.

I know, I know, kind gentle and very good looking readers, "Kriss, say it isn't so, say it isn't so...brown man." Fuck-en-aye peeps, "It isn't so," (dramatic pause) but here in reality, you can bet Annie's bottom dollar that it is so. It lacks adult thought processes to blatantly defy the constitution with an emotional (although heartfelt) response (they wanted to get around the constitution by buying a square of land in the middle of public land to eredct the cross to sidestep the whole thing. That has got to be right up there with, "Yes, I did promise, but I was crossing my fingers behind my back.") Childish.

I'm kinda pumped up right now. I can't wait to hear what happens next. It's got all the makings of a good movie, but I dunno who would direct it (4)."

* This is one of the topics that some people, on either side, shrug there shoulders and look down on you and say, "why do you even care." I'll tell you why. Because ever battle, even if it's small in the no harm done category, is huge when it come to the principal. It doesn't matter if a kid steals a 50 cent candy bar, but the lesson of NOT stealing is important. The little old lady that drives to church every Sunday (in her cherry all original Mustang) doesn't do me first person harm...but if her church supports anti gay marriage stuffs and the ladies in the church have no say, then that effects all of society. If some people wanna have a memorial in the dessert, I got no problem with that. I just wish it would be a non religious symbol that all Americans (Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Mexican, Black, White, Euro-White, whatever) can be proud of and stand by. Jus' sayin'....

ps. Oh yea and to the atheist that poo poo'd me the last time I wrote about the dessert cross...I'm supportive of your freedom to express and saqy whatever you want. You don't agree with me, that's fine. I'll support and figt for your freedoms also. You're welcome.

White kid pissing on a cross...not art. 

(1) Although give credit to the very few GOP'ers that publicly admit (as if) the the theory of evolution is the best theory to describe life on da planet. Not many, but it's something to build on.

(2) I'm just sayin' that there is a probability that that scenario could happen in the future. But seriously, not on my watch.

(3) Myself, the Mighty Atheist Blogosphere and Team Skeptic not only appreciate all the effort and lives of those that fought for our freedom, we fuckin' are using our freedom to express our views and if someone or a group believe differently...we fight for their freedom also. One side says honor the soldiers, but they wanna shut down expressing any thought that is not American Christian GOP approved, while the other side wants to honor the soldiers while simultaneously expressing our own views and fighting for the right of opposite views to have the same platform. WTF, my head is spinning. Lates.

(4) I'm thinking the weird political directors like (fuck I can't think of dudes name. He has a movie out right now. I'll remember while editing.....

* I dunno if the cross has free will or if it part of God's plan that everyone keeps taking about, but...I would choose Half Moon Bay over the freekin' dessert.

(5) If the cross is not a religious symbol then what is. If it's not a religious symbol then it shouldn't be used in religious ceremonies.
