I can't see it as really being offensive - if you don't believe then it's just a lower case t. I think people just like to

I agree, it became a religious symbol instead of keeping it a symbol of hope. People blessed it and prayed at it and it just went overboard. The towers held all religions and the fact we seem to always allow the christian one to be the focal point is completely biased. I think the lawsuit is crossing the line to prove a point. The organization is no better then any other single minded one.
I have to agree .

This whole "PC" is getting really old. Everyone needs to just grow up.

Technically its a piece of metal that was found after the towers fell. They didnt make it into a cross right? It just kind of looks like one?

So freedom of religion in our country means there can be no religion? If you don't want to believe in God great...i don't care...but don't make me take a cross down because you don't.
I completely agree with this. It's one thing to object to a religious symbol at a school or a normal public place, but this is a memorial, a place for people to mourn.
150 million of taxpayer money. It is not a private memorial/museum.
That said, the steel cross is a part of the fabric of the history of the 9/11 attacks. I think it should be included. I can see the Amer. Atheists point but in this case it really is not proselytizing.

As an atheist I see both points.
I am not bothered by the cross being there and see it's value to those who gain spirituality from it.
However it is a slippery slope and unfortunately atheists are one of the few groups that others still verbally abuse without much consequence. Sometimes these cases need to be challenged.
Agree on both points.
