Get a Cross Removed and Get a Reward?
 
football_helmet_thumbDo you need some money? Find a cross somewhere in the public and help get it removed and you might score a reward from the FFRF atheist organization. Two students recently complained about the cross on their school’s football logo and received $1,000 bounty a piece for their efforts.
Here’s the story from OneNewsNow:
The Freedom From Religion Foundation celebrated its victory in removing all things religious from the football uniforms of a combined Catholic / public school team.

The logo affixed to the team’s helmets (above) mixed the images of both schools — the Shorewood greyhound and Messmer’s bishop’s hat with a cross. …
A $1,000 reward given to both Mayan and Balen Essak for their role in getting rid of the cross — and a generic logo replacement having nothing to do with either school, simply reading “2012 PLAYOFFS” …

Response: Now there are rewards for eradicating crosses?
The cross use to be a symbol of honor in America and in the West but now it has become an object of scorn to fight over in the courts. For those who can’t afford the legal battle it is now a casualty in the ultimate culture war of all time- against religion and Christianity in particular.
Does anyone out there (besides atheist activists) really think that it is healthy and real progress to offer rewards for the discovery and eradication of crosses in America? Particularly in this case where the cross was representative of the Catholic Messmer High School which was part of this combined football team. The logo merely demonstrated the reality of the situation that included public and private funds supporting a team that was both public and religious. The logo probably could have survived a court battle but what school or schools in America have the money to fight the FFRF? SOURCE
