Hail Satan and hail the veterans who lost their lives in conflict. Hail the atheist, hail the satanists, hail the non religious and religious alike.

Men from p.g. co. Who died in wwi. One of the men happens to be my great uncle. I am a christian but have never looked at peace cross as a religious object, i knew it's meaning, i knew the sacrifice my uncle paid for or freedom. I just dont get it. One man who started the lawsuit said for 45 years he drove past it and thought ot was religious, well there goes another person judgong a book by its cover also a person not taking time to learn about our area.

These "so-called" activist groups need to leave monuments alone. The monuments are offending anyone, it is the ridiculous and anti-american thinking that is offensive. Our country was built on religion and the Trust in GOD.

The Supreme Court decision regarding the Peace Cross allows it to remain where it is. Our Constitution protects our rights and our freedom as citizens. One of the clearest portions of the Constitution is the First Amendment protection of religious freedom. The government is not to establish any preferred religion or religion at all, while ensuring the right of citizens to practice a religion if they choose to. So while the Peace Cross was a practice of Christianity, non-Christians had a right to not have religion imposed on them. As in many questions of religious freedom, the Peace Cross decision was a balance between the right to practice one religion and the right to not have the government impose religion on citizens. The differing opinions on the case in the Supreme Court and the lower courts were different balance points. Therefore, the decision came down to the particulars of the case, not the fundamental principle of religious freedom. The government is religiously neutral.

It’s already going to stand. The Supreme Court allowed it to stay and the City allowed it as well
