Who: Mike Rivers, Utah State DirectorWhat: Discuss the lawsuit by American AtheistsWhen: 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific, the show repeats two more times this evening. Check local listings.Where: Bill O?Reilly?s Show ?The Fudge Factor.? Watch the Fudge Factor as it hits the ?Spin Zone.?
American Atheists filed suit against the Utah Highway Patrol Commander and the Executive Director of the Utah Department of Transportation seeking the removal of large steel crosses erected adjacent to state highways bearing the beehive logo of the Highway Patrol. The crosses have been erected with permission from the state by the Utah Highway Patrol Association, a private corporation that aids and supports troopers. The Latin crosses mark locations where troopers have been killed in the line of duty.
These crosses are steel, and 12 FEET tall, and they litter the highway. They have the official emblem of the state Police on them, and clearly cross the pseudo-grey line between respecting fallen heroes and using their death to break the law. Home-made crosses placed on the side of the road temporarily by loved ones are one thing; Permanent steel 12 foot crosses lining the roads is quite different.
keymngt:
1st off, O’Reilly’s a jackass.
2nd off, Rivers is a Utah atheist, & he DOESN’T represent all of us. (I’d not heard of him prior to this post, since O’Reilly’s a waste of time & space).
3rd off, agreed, there are more important issues to cope with.
4th off, you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the ‘boob tube’.
Thanks for sharing the stats w/us, but next shelve the attitude, wouldja?
Well said Zac Hunter!!!!!!
I have a quick question for Dave. Someone said that you said you on TV that you want all crosses off of Arlington National Cemetery too. Could you clear this up please?

i think this whole roadside crosses thing is bs. i mean if they want to remember them then just burry them in their back yard and put a cross up then…. i dont want to see them along the roadside!
All,
I agree, but they are now getting away with putting them by the roadside by placing them on donated or purchased private land that is situated on roadsides.
We should do the same in Austin, Texas where American Atheists was first founded & headquartered next to a major roadway or freeway with a HUGE monument honoring the founders Madalyn Murray O’Hair, Jon Murray and Robin Murray — so that their memories do not disappear into oblivion. We should put some of our money toward preserving their memories for the atheist cause.
Tenaciously Sincere,
PeskyAtheist
The O’hairs memorys will not go into oblivion! Youll see them again in Hell if you dont change your way of thinking! I think it is honorable that the crosses are there! these men gave their lives protecting these dispicable americans who dont beleive in the God that led them to this great country, that was founded upon God, and will always serve him with humble pride and love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
coward,
food for thought for you:
http://www.400monkeys.com/God/index.html
If you are atheist and really dont beleive in god, then why are you using the number of the beast goofball! that just shows your obvious lack of intelligence! Ill be praying for your deliverence! God bless you!
coward,
It’s to confuse idiots like you.
Biblical scholars have recently determined that “the number of the beast (in which I don’t believe in anymore than the idea of any god) is actually 616. Which is meaningless anyway unless you also adhere to superstitions such as numerology.
Come back if you get out of grade school.
Better yet show us you’re not a coward by posting on a current thread.
howard,
How does 666′s ironic use of your irrational beliefs in order to mock you constitute an “obvious lack of intelligence”?
666 is an integer like any other, be it 0, 1, 7, 13, or 25. Your belief that it’s somehow more evil than other numbers is proof that you believe in foolish superstitions. Like God.
Heres a little food for your thought!
by the way, I dont think anyone is stupid or uneducated just ignorant of the real tuth. I love you all and hope the best for you, that being yeshua of course!http://whygodexists.ytmnd.com/
I wont bother you anymore, God bless
