Atheists are outraged. Again.
Atheists are pi$$ed and offended, but what else is new? This time NY atheists are having a hissy fit over a street name honoring firefighters killed on 9/11.
New York Atheists Angry Over 'Heaven' Street Sign Honoring Sept. 11 Victims
Quote:
A group of New York City atheists is demanding that the city remove a street sign honoring seven firefighters killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because they say the sign violates the separation of church and state.
The street, “Seven in Heaven Way,” was officially dedicated last weekend in Brooklyn outside the firehouse where the firefighters once served. The ceremony was attended by dozens of firefighters, city leaders and widows of the fallen men.
“There should be no signage or displays of religious nature in the public domain,” said Ken Bronstein, president of New York City Atheists. “It’s really insulting to us.” Bronstein told Fox News Radio that his organization was especially concerned with the use of the word “heaven.” “We’ve concluded as atheists there is no heaven and there’s no hell,” he said.
And so, because they've concluded there is no heaven we should all bow to their beliefs. Bwa ha ha!!

David Silverman, president of American Atheists, agreed calling on the city to remove the sign. “It implies that heaven actually exists,” Silverman told Fox News Radio.
“People died in 9/11, but they were all people who died, not just Christians. Heaven is a specifically Christian place. For the city to come up and say all those heroes are in heaven now, it’s not appropriate."
Mr. Silverman needs to study up on his religions, most believe in some form of heaven or heavenly state. But then again, I think he knows this and is just showing his anti-Christian bigotry. That's what it's really about, now isn't it?
